Indiana & Surrounding BYC Meetup August 1st, 2009

[FrChuckW]

Well it looks like I will be there with Flowerpot. I spoke to her earlier today and she said it sounded like a fun idea. So as of right now you can count on two of us.

The list was what I have right now in birds. Although the black cochin bantam pair and the partridge cochin are going over to Flowerpots.

Yes I would like a couple of good homer hens to add to my breeding program. My birds seem to throw cock birds mostly instead of hens.

I have to get one of those battery operated aerators for the guppies so that they survive all the way back to Kentucky.

I'll bring a pasta salad and some sodas.

Those guppies are tougher then you think, I had them shipped to me from Mich, didnt loose a one, they were in a baggy then put in a box. They will do fine on your back to KY.

I cant wait to meet flower pot.

 

[Schultz]

Sounds great! I have you both down. I will keep the tank on stand-by just in case!

Can't wait to meet you both!

[92caddy]

I got serama, silkie ones also.............

 

[miss_jayne]

dead. or even worse!

tell me more about these eggs and/or chicks sir!

 

[shelleyd2008]

Oooh!! I want to come!! I'll meet up with Chuck and Flowerpot and hitch a ride!! I can bring a lot of deviled eggs, in quail egg form

and I'll bring a cheesecake as well, a really big one!!

Some games that my family has at reunions are:

Guess the number of (?) in the jar (prize is the contents of the jar, usually candy of some sort, sometimes cheez balls

)
Youngest guest---baby item of some sort
Farthest distance traveled---usually gets a box of 'gag' gifts, designed to clean yourself and your car

Oldest guest----prize is whatever
Person who brings the most people----prize is whatever

We also have an auction, where everyone brings something to sell. This item(s) is/are wrapped, and labeled with what it's for i.e.-woman, man, young girl, young boy, child, teen boy etc, etc.

As for trading or selling? Idk what I'll have by then, but I should have something to bring! Probably quail related, since I have a ton of those

I have a ton of chickens too, just not sure which ones I'll still have then.

My 'guest list' would be most likely 2---me and my son.

 

[shelleyd2008]

Oh, and just another suggestion? You could start a BYC my page for the info in the first post, as well as the list of things people are bringing, might make it a bit easier to find?

 

[shelleyd2008]

Okay, tentative list of things I may be bringing. I'd have to okay it with whomever I would be riding with, and it of course depends on what I still have then.

Coturnix quail eggs--mix of jumbo browns, tuxedo, and A&M. Might have some goldens by then to, all seperated by color

(tuxedos are tux-tux breeding, so color possibilities are tux, tibetan, or A&M). Might have some youngsters too, not sure about that though. I need to empty my bator first before I can set eggs

Embden goslings This would depend on how they hatch. I don't want embdens, so I won't be keeping these. They are due in 28 days

White, non-bearded silkie babies
mottled cochin bantam youngsters
BTW japs eggs and/or chicks only
some bbs LF ameracauna youngsters,
RIR eggs only, if my dad doesn't sell his birds first
black cochin LF[/u] probably 1 pair
And of course, the assorted, various bantam roosters, mostly mixed breed I'm afraid.
I also have a lot of rosecomb-ed bantam chicks. These are not 'rosecomb' bantams, they are a mix of silver and golden sebright, but the parent birds are not pure.

Like I said, this would all depend on what I still have at the time, and what I'm allowed to bring per my ride

Anyone need a mixed beagle youngster? She will be about 6 months old then, give or take.

Open to any trades, for whatever I have in my siggy!! I'm pretty easy, so I might want something else

 

[92caddy]

Hey on the guess the count in the jar, you could fill it with quail eggs instead of candy, Ild rather have eggs then candy cause Im sweet enough...........

I have to talk to better half on the seramas, they are his birds, he is very picky about who he sells his birds and/or eggs to. I could sneak ya some, MAYBE.

The silky ones are the smaller ones of the bunch and they are sooo tame, they sit on his shoulder when he does the feeding.
