2015 HALLOWEEN Hatch-a-Long, Join us IF YOU DARE!

I love all the contest ideas, especially the recipe and costume contest. I'm going to try to get to my sewing machine today (the sewing room is a mess), and if I can I will make an egg collecting apron for donation. I was going to make myself one anyway, and Walmart had a sale on great fabric.

I'd like a few cochin or brahma eggs, a few ccl eggs, and a few ameraucana eggs. I'm not sure if I'll find any and I sold my rooster so I won't have fertile eggs until Spring. I can't wait until the 27th to see what's available at the Eastern New York Poultry Association Fall Show. If all else fails I could ask some friends for eggs.

My sewing room turned into my hatching/brooding room. My latest batch is about to go outside, so hopefully I'll get my sewing room back for the winter! I love the idea of an egg collecting apron!

Waaaaaaa stop it!

@Peep-chicken any fun ideas for contests Halloween related? we all had fun the other year with those mini ones my fav animation ever

I'll let you know this afternoon. They where a lot of fun!

IDEAS For Contests: discussion who likes what, and other ideas? Kids Face painting Contest Pumpkin Carving or pumpkin carved candy dish Contest (which?) Costume contest (kids or adult?) [COLOR=333333]Halloween recipe contest? Funny food, scary food, yummy food.[/COLOR] HOW ABOUT A FOWL costume contest or perhaps the Costume Contest should include people with fowl??? not sure many would enter their birds in Halloween costumes? thoughts? Donations eggs, used chicken, halloween, or useful items in good shape, BYC GFM's, chicken stuffs, Amazon Gift Cert, BYC Certs, etc all great items to donate! Me- a few things Sara -eggs Cynth I think Kiomey too, but my brain is slacking!

Though I like the costume contest! Maybe either dress up the fowl or us users can dress up? Or maybe both? Have three categories? Maybe a fall chicken picture contest? Oh, a Halloween themed caption contest maybe? I'd love to donate eggs, though 1) they are mixed breed(though I have a lot of breeds, it's not just your average RSL crosses and such(SFH, Sumatra, ) 2) only my Welsummer, Polish and jap bantam are laying out of 15 hens. Seriously ladies? I will have to see what else I have Have a good day everyone!

LOL, I am glad to have my lower level back! the dust was crazy when I shipped and sold so many chicks!
I seen the egg ones on pinterest, they are really neat! A friend here on byc traded me feed aprons for eggs, and then I got some for the kids for crafts and when they help process! love them!
My machine is stored way up in my closet in the back.... I should get it out!
