welcome keric. you will have to come meet all of us that swap at the tractor supply in augusta come spring.

I got my newsletter today from the central maine bird fanciers- meeting is this sunday. it says:
hot coffee and tail gate sales by 11:30, potluck lunch at noon, business meeting at 1:00 followed by education discussion and auction.
this meeting is is your chance to ask questions and get answer about poultry keeping. the long time poultry member will be available for you to pick their brains about such things as health of your flock, what to look and listen for in the coop, how to keep winter predator away for your flock, what things your flock may require of you over winter. this is your chance to find out how and where to check for and identify those creepy crawly pests that seem to like to winter over on your flock.
the majority of our membership is made p of people with a backyard flock. this may be your first flock and our first winter. come learn the tricks of the trade to for keeping your flock happy and healthy over winter. no eggs? this is your chance to find out why and what to do to put those hens back into production.
take a break from all the stress of the holiday season and treat yourself, your family and your friends to a relaxing time among the 'poultry people"

meeting is held at the evening
star grange hall on the south side of Bill Luce road and old union rd. large white building.

Washington is not really that far away, about an hour, but I am already overwhelmed with stuff this weekend: cleaning for company arriving Sunday p.m., second worming dose of the flock, too many school projects going, etc.

If I were to go, I would ask the question, "how can I get rid of 12 trillion worm eggs in my soil?" I'm afraid the answer is to stop keeping birds in that area for at least two years. I thought worm eggs were killed by freezing, but have learned that only high heat and direct sunlight kill them. It looks like I will have wormy chickens for a while. I do realize that all chickens get worms, it's just that mine have been getting heavy loads of them!
 
I would love to make a meeting one of these days! This weekend it wont happen though. My in laws are coming up today and staying through sunday. I am spendong today trying to figure out how to fit 5 more people into our house with the 6 of us plus my daycare...tight quarters, but its just for a few days amd we havent seen them in a while, so everyone will survive. Do i sound like i am trying to convince myself? Thats because to make this work i have to put my 2 pre teen daughters in one room. I fear for our lives...
