2014 New York Chickenstock

[Metella]

Especially if you call it a regional Poultry Fair (picnic/chicken swap included) Makes it sound big and you do have peeps coming in from NY, VT, FL ...


If no one else calls for her - I can give a home to the BCM hen .... but I do have two, so I don't want to hog the call for that. My Marans roo will love a bigger flock when I separate out for breeding.

I have a SQ roo - but I, personally, do not show .... I just have a customer who is wild over the dark eggs ... so I have a line for her ... and I think I may start a table at the farmer's market this year. Those eggs will sell well - so I want to keep the line going and strong and with new blood.

I could. Me, Baking, and Metella also run a related nonprofit so they could write it off as a tax deduction if one of us asks, which could be added incentive.

 

[horsekeeper]

I will bring deviled eggs, a surprise chicken home decor item for the auction, and hatching eggs depending on what is laying at the time.

You Know this could be a good time to see if anyone will do a class or demonstration of some kind. Maybe a processing demonstration or class?

(We're not on the list anymore for rolls. )?

I'm planning to bring a piece of fabric and scissors and show y'all how to make t-shirt yarn. (It's simple and reuses all those t-shirts that you just "can't get rid of")

Maybe I'll have time to crochet a basket for the auction. (Bigger miracles have happened.

)

I could do one, if someone would like to donate a bird to the demo maybe Metella could bring along the "movie" she made the day I taught her
