2015 New York Chickenstock

[Pyxis]

She's yours then and I will hold back one out of the next hatch in a few days for aalisa I am still doing eggs, but at this point I'm bringing enough (if LadyHawke wants hers at this time, haven't confirmed yet, she may rather get them when she picks up her saxonies from me) that if I brought them for you they'd probably be over a week old and I couldn't do a ton of them.

How close are you to Fenner?  I can make a run if you aren't too far.  School is done for the semester so I am just farming now.

About three and a half hours from Fenner, it looks like.

Do you want any of these flowers for the bees? Or anyone else?

I potted them up in good "chicken compost", thought I'd do it know so they'd perk back up
& not look all droopy at Chickenstock. I currently have available:

Each pot has either one large clump or multiple plants:
2 Sunchokes - yellow flowers
4 Bee Balm - could be purple, burgundy or red
5 Evening Primrose - yellow flowers
2 Japanese Iris - purpose flowers
3 Hardy Geranium - pink flowers
1 New England Aster (multiple roots) - purple flowers
4 Tall Hardy Phlox - probably pink, but may be white

I tested my skills on telling the genders of the rabbits today - I've never done it this young before, but it wasn't too difficult!
The two with the wide white stripes are a buck and doe; The buck has one blue eye & his other eye is 1/2 blue, 1/2 brown.
The "grandmother" has blue eyes, that's where they got it from. From what I can tell, there's only two does in that litter of seven.

Do you stock organic alfalfa pellets at the store? I was searching the craigslist in your area & saw the ads from your store.
I'd probably want at least one bag of them. At least I'm short, so I could sit on them if we need room in the car on the way home!

Wow...I'm busy for a few days and you blow up the thread!!! looking forward to seeing you all. Looking for honey and strawberry plants.

Anyone interested in pink or blue or yellow Iris ?

Anyone interested in pink or blue or yellow Iris ?

What shade of blue; yellow?
I had some iris that was "yellow", but faded to almost white. I prefer "brighter" colors, so when we moved I didn't take any of the "plain" iris with me.
How much for some of each color?

 

[Metella]

I'm interested in the Pink Iris !

ME ME ME.. All of the above... How many do you have and how much? They are my favorite!!!!!!!!!

Did I read it right that there are some people that are bringing hamburgers and hotdogs? I'll bring the condiments. Do we need the buns too? I can bring a few bags of each too if needed.

 

[Nuttyfrom6kids]

Well now how much are the tickets?  Are you willing to put them in for me?  Or should I ask Luv?  She's is my go to person and will bring anything I might win.  She'll be picking up my stuff or the auction. 

How much were the tickets for the Chinese auction last year? I can't remember

That is fine as far as the rabbits. I will have to check on the alfalfa as I think we have cubes.

Buns would be great

Cubes are fine, too - as they'd either be for the rabbits or adding to the chicken's fermented feed.
I've used cubes, pellets & meal before, and my current supplier just has organic alfalfa meal, which is fine for the chickens, but the rabbits can't eat it as it's too fine.
