Meetup at California State Fair in July @ Chicken exhibit building!

[HHandbasket]

There may be some members that go, but there won't be any chickens there this weekend. We decided to meet at a time when the chickens are there.

I hope somehow you are still able to make it on the 31st!

Dang D: I probably can't, though, because I'm going on vacation on the 1st


Either way, on Sunday at around 4:30 or 5 I'll go into the chicken/guinea pig/hamster/whatever place and hold up a sign that says "BYC" and hope that people from BYC will come

It's looking like I just might be able to meet up with everyone on the 31st.

Yay! Dear SIL has offered to stay with his father to give me a day off. Gotta love that kid! What time are y'all meeting? I'm in the foothills about an hour and a half away.

Keeping fingers crossed that I can make it.

argh......sigh....I've been looking forward to this forever and now we can't go

We have to pack and move my fiancé's 95 year old parents into assisted living that weekend

AND I already bought tickets

[cherylcohen]

one regular and one senior, let me check

 

[OrpingtonManor]

oh, Cheryl, how do you like your Barnevelder?

 

[cherylcohen]

Minnie is awesome, she's a teenager now at 16 weeks (but still such a funny butterball shape) and I have 2 others I hatched out and they are 9 weeks.

You wouldn't even believe how many I have now...I'm nutz. I'll be looking to thin out the 9 week old pen in about 3 weeks if someone's looking for something....

should I post what I have in my pens now....or will you guys make fun of me

 

[OrpingtonManor]

I was about to go to TruNorth Farms and get two Barnevelders to keep my lone Ameraucana pullet company. (I have two roos I will be rehoming.)

never be embarrassed by the number of chicks you have. We are happy to enable you.

 

[cherylcohen]

Fun! I haven't seen Rachel in such a long time, cuz I started hatching...Maybe you might want some of my duplicates??

So here is the Omelet ranch...

The hens (a bit over a year old)

Mildred - wheaton EE
Blanche - RIR
Lizzie - BO
Wilma - welsummer
Harriet- cuckoo maran
Flo - blue wyandotte
Beatrice - GLW
Gracie - Olive egger
Emma- BLRS wyandotte

Now the teens (16 weeks) - they are in with the hens now

Lucy & Ethyl - BO
Lenore- lavender orpington (just got her yesterday...long story)
Barbara - Barred rock
Princess - sicilian buttercup
Gigi - olive egger
Phoebe - pure White EE

Mabeleine & Abby - speckled sussex


And now the 9 week old babies - no names yet as I have some roos and some duplicates that I plan to sell/give away

2 EE - one typical coloring and one white/grey/black (gorgeous)
2 Lavender orpingtons - one is a roo, other one... jury's still out
1 Blk/lavender split orp roo - have to give away
1 HUGE white orpington roo - also has to go
2 cream brabanters - I think one is a roo
1 partridge chantecler

2 buff brahma standards
2 welsummers
2 delawares
2 Black australorps
2 speckled sussex
2 barnevelders
2 SLW
2 buff orpingtons


AND of course the reason I wanted to go to the fair was to get the name of some awesome breeders.... Does anyone know if any chickens/breeders will be there this weekend?
