Hello All, Look at the sun, WOW, don't see that enough and I've missed that. I'm really ready for the summer season to begin! Haven't posted much since joining last year about the time of the last Chickenstock. So hello again and hopefully we'll be able to make this new Chickenstock. There were some outstanding birds there last year especially the trio of Buff Orphingtons.
Reading back through previous postings I see there are more folks in my area. Hello to my neighbors in Brooklyn, Norvell, Ann Arbor, SE Michigan, etc.. We have a farm a few miles southwest of Saline. We have 'old-time' Blue Slate turkeys, with the males have a reddish banding in the tail feathers. Some call them Lilac's but I've always called them Blue Slates, a couple of un-improved bronze hens and 6 Royal Palm hens. For chickens we have Wellsummers and some cross aracuanas and India Blue Peafowl.
Looking through the Ann Arbor Craig's List this morning and came across a couple of poultry related ads. I don't usually pass these things on but thought maybe someone on here would be interested in the info. Not sure about posting phone numbers, even though they are in the ads. Copied ads as presented...

Hello!
I will be graduating with honors from Michigan State with a degree in Sustainable and Organic Horticulture. I have a passion for growing food. I would like to connect with several homeowners where we, over the next several years increase your food production with gardens, berries of choice, and compatible fruit and nut trees as well as medical herds, flowers, and livestock. I am very interested in permaculture and edible forest gardens. Let me know how I can help!
Best, GinnyG * Location: Ann Arbor
Have a great day and enjoy this sunshine... Jim
