The California Chickens group met at the Show in Stockton this year. Quite a few of them are also BYC members, so it was cool! Someone made little pins to put on our shirt, I believe it was Naomi. I still have mine, they were really cool. I will try to talk my parents into taking me, I really want to go again.

The Bay Area would be great!

Found this on the internet:

I wonder if the Gold Coast Poultry Fanciers show in Hollister or the PPBA show in Stockton would be the best to go to?

I'm definitely going to the one in Fresno, since that's right at my back door.

What do you guys think?

I know there's a lot of people planning to go to the Stockton show in January. That's considered the "big one" as far as the shows are concerned, and there will be a lot of birds there.

Thanks, Michelle. Now I guess I'd better start convincing DH that we NEED to go!!!

I wish I had my house built already; I'd put people up that were from way out of town like you guys (I only live like 20 minutes away from Stockton). Right now, I live in an 850 sq. ft. house with one bedroom.

Maybe next year!! This year I will probably drive up and back that day - it's too expensive to stay in a hotel. Besides, I can buy a few chickens for what a hotel costs!!!LOL!!

That's right! I keep forgetting you can buy chickens at these things.

And it's kinda nice to have something to look forward to after the Christmas season!

I'm going to try to talk my husband into just giving me some money for Christmas so I can buy chickens at the show. I am positive that he won't be thrilled with the idea, but maybe if I start now???. . . . .
