Okay Terry, what did Tommy buy from you? I need to write it down and look it up. He said the hen (daisy) was a year old, and the roo was born in March. Is this correct? He gurgled the whole way home. It was too funny. I started calling him Bubbles, but Tommy didn't like that.

I think there is a GA show thread. Give me some time to settle from walking in the door and I'll try to find it.

BTW I bought a pair of wheaten OEGB. I'm a sucker for wheaten and OEGB... it was only a matter of time.

It was very nice to meet you too and the other new faces. I hope to see every one again soon. I looked at the most of the chickens but did not buy any! Its been a Looooong day. I have a missing Orp tonight.

I let them out when I came back by the house but did not get home until after dark and when I did a count one is missing. I hope she is roosting out somewhere and comes back in the morning.

There was a man at the show today that beautiful bantam cochin...BareBottom bought an exceptional pair of white ones. The man and his wife have been raising them for 30 years. He does ship and they are, as I said, high quality. I think he said he lives above Greeneville. I am going to try to get his contact info Monday. Will post it when I find out.

@Itsthelaw....I am wondering who will spoil the roo the most..you or Tommy.

Tommy had that light in his eye!! They are Belgium D'Uccles. Yes..the hen is not quite 18 mo. and the roo was hatched in May...and he already knows his job with the ladies. It was so nice to meet you two. Now maybe I can trap this weasel with his help. I can't afford to have the losses next year that I had this year. Yes..they make little sounds that are so funny. Roos tend to "growl" a lot. But the D'Uccles are distinctive in a lot of their sounds.

@Lunar....thank you so much for your help today..it was very nice to get to know you. As always.. I enjoyed seeing everyone.!!
