Im guessing at least some of those are for the Blue Fawn proposal

Y'all haven't lived until you've had 96 Call ducks with you in a Freestar minivan..."Call" being the operative word here, minus any earplugs

This summer we went to St. Louis from SE Arkansas with four of our kids, Catherine and I, a dozen birds to deliver and a 130# Anatolian Shepherd. It was a fun trip!

I'm surprised you aren't laughing like Woody Woodpecker before you arrive at final destination! That's too funny! I myself will drive anywhere with geese. They travel better than any kid, dog, or cat I've ever taken on long trips. The only animal right up there with them are rabbits.

try hauling 12 migget whites turkeys, and rosters and chickens in the back of a ford excursion on a little trip from FL to PA
everytime you stop for gas the roosters are giving you away and every body turns and look at you

I remember being out for a drive across town many years ago in my Volkswagen van to bring my pair of nubian goats to visit my daughter's school. She was in a closed-campus school for mentally and physically disabled children and they looked forward to regular visits from "Merrilee's animals". I had stopped at a light and a car pulled up beside me and the woman in it just stared and stared. The weather was beautiful and our windows were down. Finally she says to me, "Lady, I'm sorry, but them's some UGLY dawgs!". Then follows the indignant bleat -and where's that foolish emoticon. Just a minute.

The light changed and I had to pull into the nearest parking lot. I was laughing and crying to hard I couldn't see! It was priceless!​

If someone is going to the show to sell chickens Im looking for a White Ameracauna Rooster. Please message me with pics and price. I'd like to pre-purchase and pick up before or during show.

Thanks

Can I post here on what kind of hatching eggs I would like to get, or there is a thread on what people want to buy at the show? Thanks.

I would try posting on the threads for the breeds you are looking for. For example, I know there are some Ameraucanas going to be sold at the show so try posting on that thread about what you are looking for, just in case they aren't lurking here as well. Same deal for the hatching eggs. Post on the threads of whatever you are looking for.

I think we need to have a place to put what we are bring to sell and what we are looking to buy.
I can bring Showgirls. Would also be looking for Showgirls!

Someone did start a thread in Wanted section. I can't find it anymore since not many people posted to it. (

I want a showgirl hen really bad, but I don't need one.)

Found it. Here's the link to the thread in the Wanted section. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=572593&p=1

I started another thread in this same section with the Crossroads clearly in the subject. Maybe that will get folks connected.
