Yeah Miss Jayne, I have a bunch or Blue Ameraucana eggs hatching out, Black Orp Buff Orp hatching out, Red Speckled Sussex. Never know what other goodies might be pack in for an afternoon of fun. Seems like alot of others breeds will make it there too. Should be a blast.

I agree, I think it's going to turn out great!
I am hoping to have Serama eggs available by then.

Hey, in those woods behind the fire picture.... what is that ghostly presence behind the trees to the left??
BWAAAAAHHH....
I'm getting my campfire stories ready.

BTW...would anybody be interested in a one and a half year old GLW Roo? I'll bring him, but only if someone is interested.

I love ghost stories. There is a really creepy tree to the right that you can't see. It's all twisted and knotted, looks super cool. Another thing you guys might find interesting, we have a lot of Does and thier fawn bedding down in our woods at night, you may just see one or five!!

FrChuckW------------I can hook you up with some guppies, I'll bring ya some of them if you want me too.

The birds you have listed, are they what you are going to sell or trade or what? Just wondering.

Oh I/we have LOTS of homing pigeons, a good 200 of them, I'll see if betterhalf wants to sell any.

Nice woods Schultz. Is most of your property wooded? I have a couple of pens in the woods in my small part of the yard.

I will put you down as a tentative guest! Good to meet you and I hope you can come! Your birds sound lovely. A canopy is always welcome, and thank you! If Flowerpot can come with you that would be great as well.
92Caddy:
I have a 10 gallon tank if you need to house the fish while you are here!! FrChuckW can take it home too, if need be!

Thanks! Yes, most of it is wooded, I would say about 3 of the 4 acres. I am going to call the city and have them spray for mosquitos a couple of weeks before the party. We would like to eventually have the chickens in the wooded area but I am so afraid of predators. We had 3 coon attacks last year and have seen 2 red fox this year. The turkeys are getting a new house close to the woods but it's going to be like fort knox! I would hate to disappoint my family on Thanksgiving! Anyone staying over will have a nice secure spot for their livestock or pets for the night, so no worries there!

I set traps in my yard. I had a racoon raiding party hit me a month and a half ago. Since then I take no prisoners. I have 2 pens and coops in my wooded side, and the coons hit the center of my chickenland, right by the pole barn. I just got permision to take over the pole barn for good with chickens. Prolly b home for alot of cockerels. And my boat shed gets to be a home for young pullets. Till winter hits.
