INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

So...which city?

Thanks I don't recall seeing a banner, but I will look

http://ohionational.org/  has an ABOUT US place to click that expands to a Contact Us link that opens a compose new email to them.

It might be possible to get a list of vending tables and contact info.  The the chore of calling or email each one would be yours.  The larger sponsors are listed on their website.  Maybe one of their names will ring a bell.

We had a great time.  Of course I still have a few more roosters to go as soon as they are large enough.  I'm thinking of feeding them a more expensive higher protein feed in hopes of them getting that last bit of weight on.

We live in Bargersville. We don't have the plucker though. Also our area is much smaller than Racin...'s.If you ever need a chicken put down Dh and I would do it for you. Still I'm pretty sure we won't be hosting a processing day.

Thanksgiving processing day went off without a hitch yesterday. We were very lucky to have a warm morning and the rain held off until noon. We did 7 turkeys and 9 chickens in about 2 1/2 hours. @SallyinIndiana and her DH came over and helped, had some other friends and family too. It was great to have a group to work and socialize with. This is how it should be. The turkeys turned out great, and I am really excited to be able to provide my family and friends with great birds for the holiday! I'm hoping to turn this into an annual tradition.

Sounds like a wonderful time! I hope you can keep it up as a tradition -- it's too good of a thing to not do! And I'm also jealous that we are so far away too. I'd love to do our own turkeys

.

Hi all, hope everyone is staying dry! It looks like waterworld in my neck of the woods!

I had a rough Saturday, I went out to feed the chickens and found Harris in the pen beaten to a bloody pulp, both eyes pecked out. His "brother" that he had been raised with for the last 7 months was covered in Harris' blood. Harris was humanely euthanized and the other rooster now needs to go.

Does anyone want to process him? He is free to any BYCers, just know that he needs to be food. I don't want to risk him harming any other birds. I'd rather not advertise him on Craigslist as chicken aggressive since we all know the type of person that would want him. I just want him gone and soon!

I am just floored by the entire thing. Harris had always been top roo and there were no girls in the pen to fight over. They have been together since they were babies and it was just the two of them in there.

RIP Harris

Wow -- what a horrible thing to discover! So sorry to hear about it.

That's awful. I'm so sorry! He was a very handsome guy!

Here are some pictures from the Ohio Nationals. The open show awards This is mainly chickens, i think their were a few guineas and call ducks. They had another barn with geese, ducks, and turkeys. Trader's Area Some of my birds. I never realiazied how bad my picture taking is, so I am going to start making them stand and pose for them versus just running by and snapping a picture, so that I don't make them look so bad lol White Plymouth Rock Cockerel Blue Ameraucana pullet (she layed her first egg at the show) Blue Ameraucana pullet Black ameraucana cockerel Splash ameraucana pullet Splash ameraucana pullet Splash Ameraucana pullet The egg color washed out in the picture, but it is actually a pretty nice blue New Birds Salmon Favorolle pullet. I don't name birds very often, but this is Charlie. She was my fun buy New LF white rock pullet This one I got at Lebanon. White plymouth rock pullet White plymouth rock bantam Cockerel 3 very young black ameraucana pullets I went out in the Barn and was walking buy pens and went in the one with my bantam plymouth rock bantams. My extra cockerel has just vanished. This is a strictly inside pen, no outside run. I looked around for him, he must be a really really really good hider or some how he found out how to get out.

Did you find the little guy?

I need sexing help. This is my 3-4 month old bantam cochin Summer

(or Sonny). I keep flip flopping because it's comb and wattles are not quite as big and red as some of my other cochins this age, what does everyone think. I think she/he is going to be a golden laced it has some very pretty black markings on the wings.

No I didn't. All I know is that it wasn't a predator issue. He must of squeezed out somewhere and just ran off
