How about a MA / NH border chickenstock this spring/summer? If anyone else wants to join in, by all means get in the car and drive! I'm not much help though, I'm a "town" girl....no land to speak of , and no parking!

we were trying that with the swap but no one has the room for a lot of people

Why dont you guys try The eastern states exposition (aka the Big E ) . they have places to park and have lots of land . My step dad is the special Events directore there i can have him ask . They have the Poultry congress show there in Jan . Also What about dufranes ( Not sure how to spell it )Park in granby ,Ma its Near a lake has benches and covered patios with BBq's Has lots of land a play gym , Placed to run your horses and Has lots of parking ! And lotrs of peoople around there have chickens . And it is open to the public you dont have to ask to use it

hmmmm. maybe the parking lot of a agricultural store, I'm just thinking ahead...will have to look into this

Has any body come up with any other ideas ?

If we want to use the Eastern States Expostition as a chickenstock Some one has to call the Agricultural office there and speak to Donna who runs the AG department

I dont think it will be a problem

I'd love to go to a MA chickenstock, but Springfield's 2.5 hours from me

The Big E aka the Eastern States Expositon costs a lot of money to get into. I promise I'll bring some tasty treats for the host! I'd offer my place, but I'm right near Boston and don't have the room!

The weather is getting pretty nice, though. Maybe we could do it outside or in a public park?
