well actually I was just having a little fun

at my own expense

It is always a good sign to be able to have a good laugh at oneself. I, for one, see myself in the mirror and laugh hysterically!!! Humor is good.

What is this picnic that I see chitter chatter about?

Ugh.....the horse paddock is a sheet of ice. Anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking about buying some sand or kitty litter to spread around.

Thirdly anyone have a lavendar orpington roo that they are looking to sell?

I'm thinking of changing my business name on my DBA before I file the rest of everything and order pretty things. The Chick-Inn farm just sounds funny and people keep asking me if I run a bed and breakfast in the country kind of business.

I just don't know exactly what else I want.

Nope to the last 2.

Picnic is a face to face gathering of people (and their loved ones, if they so desire) who chat on this thread. (ok, other threads too, if they want to come, but mostly it has been the wonderful folks here on the NY Chicken Lover's thread.)

There have been 2 of said picnics. Both times there were about 15 chicken folks (and almost as many loved ones) attended.

The first picnic was in the Albany area and drew mainly Albany area folks. And Ginny.

Some people drove 2+ hours to attend, others (such as myself) drove less than an hour. (I think I was closest at 11 miles. LOL) We all had a great time and ate til the wind blew us home. (It was the Saturday before Irene)

The second picnic was at Tab's Chicken Obsession (aptly named, I might add. What a wonderful set up she has) and AdminHotel (Travis) house. (She doesn't let him use the computer any more, or at least he doesnt' post on this thread anymore) A slightly different crowd showed....again some traveling a LOOOONG way, and other making there in a few minutes. A great time was had by almost all. I suspect that chicken we chased all over the yard didn't have that much fun.

The third picnic is going to be at Tab's again. I am thrilled she and Travis agreed to host again. They have a wonderful yard, a lot of parking and shade to sit under, should the day be warm. This is the first time we have had the picnic during hatching season. (although people have requested that we do so many times)

If you have been reading the thread you have picked up on other things about the picnic. EVERYONE is invited...newbies, oldsters, children and birds. (Strong cages recomended for the later)

It is a wonderful way to get faces to go with names. I think it makes this one of the more polite threads because we actually have met each other and know that who we can tease and who we need to be serious with.

Tab is very busy with 3 children but says she will put a thread devoted to the picnic and plans. Please come if you can. We'd love to meet you.

I found that kitty litter absorbs water and doesn't help w/traction. I found what work s best is to make a path w/fresh(warmer) manure. I melts into the ice and makes a better footing. Sand is good as well. no salt.Salt is not good for the paddock

The picnics are great fun! try and attend!

How about Workin' The Farm or ***? LOL

Edited to add: Censor took the initials away and put ***'s. I can understand that and didn't give a thought when I typed it. But you get the idea. Use the initials of Workin' The Farm.
