Excellent ideas!

Do the words "event planner" from my resume show? Lol. I have done a ton of these kinds of things.

Saw a post on FB from Shoppers they just got chicks in.
I'm still looking for a home for the White Leghorn cockerel & his RIR pullet. Also, have the 2 Polish cockerels & I think I need to find a home for Romeo, the barred NN with his mate, Cruella deVille, the White crested black Polish. Currently the 4 live together in a coop, play together & stay together - the 3 Polish & 1 NN so if possible I'd like someone to take all 4. Romeo is the leader of the flock.

It seems like the tour is not well planned. I would have thought a bus would be taking people around. I wonder what that would cost and if you could get Purina or Nutrients to sponsor door prizes for the tour attendees and have them vote on their favorite coop and give them a prize too. I bet Lowes would donate something like a new wheelbarrow or $ off chicken wire or something.

They have just a few sponsors. I suggested this but they wanted to keep it small business only. They had a lot of coop submissions but there are a lot out there that are not what you would want to show for proper chicken/animal care and that's why they do Vetting. They purchase sanitary kits for each coop site, wrist bands, maps printed etc. and that's about it as far as expenses. Real attention to sponsorship is not there and many local feed stores and such were never talked to. Not smart. I guarantee Shoppers was not contacted.

The DW and I were there the other night and saw the chicks. They had BR, BL and BO I think. The BL were $1 more, is that typical for that breed?

Went out to the coop this morning to find feathers everywhere. Lots of feathers. It seems maybe the rest of the girls have decided to join the two who were molting.
I wonder if thats the reason for the lack of eggs the last month. They were all going to camp freezer tomorrow and new birds next weeks.

Do you think I should wait a little longer? See if they start laying again.

Hey @CityFarm , brewing a black Ipa today. It has roasted notes, multiple hop additions throughout the boil and some rye.

I call it Darth Muerto.

I went through my Barred Rocks from this year, a first time cull. Have about 6 pullets for sale, $10 each, 4-5 months old. These are Standard Bred, not hatchery, so will not be in lay until about 8 months old since they mature slowly. If anybody wants these for layers, pick them up before early next week, otherwise they will be gone. Also a couple of 1-1/2 year old heritage Rhode Island Red hens for sale.
