Almost all the action is on Saturday; definitely be there early on Saturday (or even on Friday evening)if you want to purchase or sell birds.

I will be there, all weekend, with my DS. He will be entering some of his chickens, as soon as he decides which ones.

Me, too, although I have a fairly good idea of what I'll take, just not sure how many.

I will be there too, all three days. only entering my leghorn hen this year, im mostly there for the junior showmanship. And to hopefully win a cake.
GUESS WHAT!!!!!!
My BFF managed to wheedle a free incubator from her cousin, who is getting out of the chicken business, and Guess who she is giving it to? MEEEE!

You'll do better if you pay for a sale cage ($5) and put them in there, asking $3 or $4 a piece.

Unwanted roosters make great soups!!

They are part of the eggs I picked up from you when I brought the polish over. I was afraid to put all my eggs in one basket, so to speak. I put 1/3 in my new incubator, 1/3 in Chrystals and 1/3 in my homemade incubator (which made me nervous so I ended up putting them in the new incubator a few days after they went in and glad I did too, huge temp spike). Today a bunch of chicks hatched. I have a picture I will PM to you too. Chicks are still hatching. I have to scrub out a bigger crate and move some chicks. I will let you know what's there soon. I'm so giddy about seeing so many chicks hatching!!!

Here is my new babies. There are more still in the incubator still.

Bob, this one is a Phoenix chick.

I haven't been able to get on the past couple of weeks, so I've been trying to catch up tonight. WOWSERS!! Lots of adorable babies! Congrats, everyone! I thought this was not the time of year for babies, but I guess that was wrong. They are sooo cute that it makes me really want more. But, my hubby would kill me, I think. He is trying to expand the coop, but I am pretty sure he doesn't want me to fill it that full. LOL!! I thought my silky hen was going to stay in the nesting box today. She sat there for a minimum of 20 minutes, but maybe she is just a slow layer.

Adorable!! What is in the water that makes it green. I assume it is something that helps their growth, something I need to know. always looking for info on how to improve the life of my chickens.
By the way guys. I did find a goat Dr. and even a bird Dr. in case anyone else is looking. Every one is a specialist now days.
