HappyChick-I hope everything is OK with the town. let me know if you have to move any showgirls...aracuanas....
I can attest to these ducks and chickens being darling and sweet...the ducks are hilarious! They are so happy with just their little pool, and they forage all day....their beaks are covered with mud all the time! The Araucana hens are SO beautiful! They are just maturing and their colors are just fantastic. (and ask me about my new breed of japanese bantam-araucana crosses that are a tiny rumpless bird, with a tiny croaking crow in the roos!)
Next Sunday the 23rd is the next meetup meeting, so if anyone has to meetup you can do it around that. Its at cosi on high ridge rd in Stamford.
Id love to talk about the greenwich audubon green living show Sept 19-20, where we will have a booth on backyard poultry. We can sell eggs and birds (though we cant sell birds there exactly...we can show pics but bird transfer will have to happen elsewhere...tho I hardly think they would know if you walked out of the place with a box to the people's car....makes the guy nervous because we dont know if people are set up for birds)
It should be a fun, kid friendly event and there will be alot of great information there on solar power and green living...which I am all for.
we've got a guy in the meetup who is a contractor and who is trying to figure natural ways to heat coops ...and I want a solar panel on mine!
anyway, happy chick, lets talk, and all the rest of you who are local, come to the meetup. Its at
