i also thing name badges are a good idea
it looks like tis going to be a very busy day with lots of good chicken folk!
as a suggestion, mabe closer to the time mabe it would be an idea to make a general list of what folks are brining for the potluck (i mean why have duplicates when there can be even more choice) as well as what folks are planning on bringing in terms chicks/younguns and seedlings/plants.
mabe even a wanted's list...
something like:
(for exmaple only)
Hengirl:
Bringing: Brownies, assorted vegatable seedlings and 6 barred rock pullets.
Wanted: Silkie chicks and assorted full sun flowering plants.
this way folks will have an idea of whats going to be around and may get more ideas on what to bring should they have it...
and if someones looking for something in specific in chicks/pullets/roos they could pm directly and that person could mabe bring a few more if they have them if they know there going to go
but its just a suggestion.
me and my sister are extreemly excited.
Dads going to build mums coop in the next 2 weeks as her birthday gift, shes going to be sooo happy!
