That was so fun! I hope we could do another one in the fall. I can't believe I came home with just 1 pullet! I'll get some pictures up tomorrow of her. She's a real sweety!

Miss_Jayne stopped by and seen Kernal

I thought she was going to grab him and run! LOL He was a show off!

The two little girls I got from chicken_china_mom were bullies on the way home. They had to ride with the 2 mottled cochin boys, and one of the girls was pecking one of the boys the whole way!! They got their just deserts today, when every roo in the yard had to check out the new girls!! They eventually just hid in the weeds that are supposed to be a garden. But later this afternoon, I saw my lakenvelder roo out there feeding them, so it's all good! They figured out where to roost (of course not where I wanted them to!). I wanted them to be in the little lot out back with the youngsters, but they saw all the big birds in the barn rafters, and they were hooked!! They are now happily perched at the top of the ladder, which is about a foot higher than the 9ft rafters!!

But they seem like they'll fit in!

well! hey all! we just got home and out stuff loaded in! safe and sound.
we had so much fun! what a blast! thank you Rob and Kathleen for hosting such a great gathering, and for make us feel right at home. i would be honored to be the 'special guest' any time!

can we come back next week????

was that a great shin-dig or what? and we got to meet the newest BYC mascot, take turns whacking things with shovels, paint bald heads, climb trees like monkeys, chase rogue chickens and eat fudge. (oh, wait only Rob gets fudge....

)

AC...i will have to bring a bigger purse next time! Kernal wouldn't fit in the one i brought!

thank you for inviting us to your home.

let me assure everyone, his comb is totally ginormous in real life. that is one giant leghorn. he's hefty. and i loves him.

i will post pics in the BYC mascot area of Rusty and some of y'all!

and Fr. Chuck, don't panic! i will send you some fudge just as soon as we have cool weather! that's a promise. you're my homey from the old neighborhood!

Get those eggs in the bator!!!!

 

[shelleyd2008]

How did the buttons take the trip, miss jayne? Mine (what was left) were glad to return to their rubbermaid!

 

[joebryant]

Jayne, it was a real pleasure meeting you and watching you do your art work. Wish I could have stayed to see your swinging that shovel. Hope to see you next year, and remember my and Anne's offer was serious about your staying/visiting with us anytime.

 

[miss_jayne]

AC...eggs resting on counter nicely!

go in tomorrow morning! yeah!

Shelley...buttons did great...in a cage waiting for Crystal all homey.

Joe...well we feel the same about everyone we met too! a real pleasure and, Rick and i just may take you two up on that some time! at least to stop by and say hello! there is a raccoon on my porch RIGHT NOW!!! and if it wont stay shooed off, it's about to meet MR. SHOVEL up close and personal.

we'll be back through in September and we saw so many places we'd love to show our children. museums, the canal and some farms.

what a great place!

good night all! i am whipped! Rick is asleep already! thank you so much again!

edited because i forgot my manners! my mother would just fall down and die somewhere if she saw that!

 

[Schultz]

So glad you and Rick made it home safe! I read your note and I guess Bandit the cat wouldn't fit in your purse, he was resting peacefully with Phalanx and Magic on my bed

Thank you guys again for coming and all your help. Maybe we will get to see you in September
