Good morning everyone,
Just one week to go, I started this thread in January and thought to myself that is't crazy to start planning this early, but I sure am glad I did!!


Just as a reminder, no one person will be stuck doing something all day, it will be in shifts so we can all enjoy the day. Once your shift is over, that's it unless you volunteer for another task. Make sense?

I will start compiling a list here shortly

Josh, you are always great help and thank you so very much for all your effort!!

I have some gold-laced polish chicks and would like a couple of white bantam cochin chicks. Maybe we could work out a trade if you're interested. Also will have some white crested black polish eggs.

Aargh!! I've got to quite doing this. I need to thin out my flock, and I keep seeing posts of birds that I want!

Time to start some serious pen building.

I think Golden Laced are beautiful. Let me ask my daughter. The eggs are tempting, but I'm trying REALLY hard not to hatch anything more out this year, lol.

Funny u mention that, I have a very pritty buff laced polish hen who lays for me just about every day! Could we possibly work her in as part of the deal on thoes silkies we talked about?

Well with that being said, I feel this is a wonderful opportunity to invite folks to volunteer

Here are a few areas we need help with
Parking-We need a few guys to voulunteer to help Rob get folks parked. It will only be for one hour per person until the traffic dies down.
Sign In Booth-We need a few volunteers to take turns at the sign in table to get folks signed in, give them a nametag and direct them to the festivities.
Secondary Grill-We need 1 or 2 people to volunteer to cook items on the secondary grill.
Food Organizer-We need 1 maybe 2 people to volunteer in directing folks where to put food, drins and paper goods.
Pinata Organizer-I need 1 person to volunteer to gather the children for the pinata and allow each child 1 swing until the pinata is toast!
Clean up-Any volunteers for clean up will be accepted and greatly appreciated. Many hands make light work and last year went great!!Videos-I will need 1 maybe 2 volunteers to keep a few videos going throughout the day.

Keep in mind, you won't miss a thing by volunteering and it will help us out a great deal.

Chickenstock, for us, requires a lot of work and planning, there is a lot that goes on that no one sees or knows about. I don't want to sould like we do it all, that is impossible but we want to make sure we can enjoy the day just as much as you!

Its been a while since I put my culinary art's degree to good use so if the secondary grill position still needs filled I could manage that task if need be.

What else might everyone have for sale that's not already spoken for.... I'm in the market for hens that lay pretty well. Anything really that's large enough to deal with my large hens and very large rooster Meatball.

I have a LF white rock pullet (if I can catch her) that should be ready to lay this fall--April hatch. Also a couple of EE's that should be ready to lay soon. Have some younger ones that won't lay for a few months yet, and possibly a year-old golden comet hen.

Would anyone want american game hens? They lay fairly well, but are too wild for me. I'd let them free range, but I'm afraid the coons would get them. I think I have 3 or 4.

I'm printing out the map...YIPPEE! it will soon be here.
