Yea, I have quite a few excess boys now that everyone I hatched from hatching eggs is old enough to be sexed! I am keeping two tufted n rumpless araucana boys (Abe and Ambrose) and the rest will be freezer camp cadets. I do have some fishmermen that want me to grow out a couple of the freezer camp boys because they have stellar looking hackle feathers already (the tailed/cleanfaced cuckoo boy I have in particular). They want the pelts to use to tie fishing flies with.

Fowl Fest in Birch Run---Oct 8th

Strange thing just happened don't know if I should be worried or not.
Out in the chicken yard I noticed one of the new black sexlinks I just got with something WHITE hanging out of her vent. Walked over to her, there lays a yolk on the ground with the white all around it and NO SHELL anywhere. Could she have eaten the whole shell and will this encourage more egg eating. ?? I picked up the yolk, which hadn't broken and took it away cause I didn't want them to "like" it, but the others all come running over to see what was going on and ate up the white.

The white stuff hanging out of her was formed as if it was cooked egg white. I pulled the rest out. Do chickens have an afterbirth or anything like humans do?? I am totally clueless here.

They've been doing pretty good, using the nest boxes and laying right in the morning. All of a sudden this unexpected drop of an egg. WHat's up with this??

I just googled it RaZ, not seeing anything popping up for Frankenmuth for Oct 2011, but others did pop up, one dated 2005. Maybe it was an OLD event you saw.

We had chickens when I was a kid. Mom & Dad, aunts, grandpa, etc. They were for eggs and food. I never knew that people showed them at the fair. I didn't know that they could be pets or "house chickens".

But since joining this BYC group and getting my own flock I've learned so much.

I think I'll have to check out this Birch Run event just to see how the 'professionals' do it.

It's Grandpa Tiny's Fowl Fest, in Frankenmuth, Oct 8. Birch Run is one direction, Frankemuth the other. Wouldn't want anyone to go to Birch Run and expect to see chickens at the Outlets Mall!
