Bakerz ---- I very much enjoyed your company there and your very smart daughter

I don't get to many things/ events like this - so I did like the MORE people there - perhaps a way to ID BYC people if better planned - but at any rate - I had a great time and will go again next spring.

I have no complaints, I just wish I had been able to bring more of my stuff to offer for trade/sale ... the spring weather didn't let me concentrate on my organic lotions and seed starting. Also since I am not eating sweets, there was nothing for me to buy from the Amish - I wish they would have brought other stuff to sell I mean small stuff - not furniture or a big quilt .... but maybe canned food, or ? I don't know - I like their work ethic.

Oneida is a drive, but we were just there in May first time we ever been to Turning Stone. Then we were sent a free two night stay in their Tower hotel, we escaped away from the kids for one night in July.
I wouldn't want any till spring. I would love to be able to find some true white hollands, just don't want to have to spend $250+ to get into the breed.

TS is interesting. We like to go there once in a while for a special date night to have dinner. We don't gamble so we just go to eat. It isn't that far for us at all. If you still want them come spring I could check to see if she has some. I think that I spent $12-13 each and she gave me the extra just in case one of the others didn't make it...I may be able to pick them up and meet you half way some where...Maybe we can work something out.

I'm looking for a few hatching eggs for my broody hen.  I live about  fifteen minutes north of Cooperstown.  I just don't have the time to drive a long way at the moment, so I was hoping to find someone fairly close.  This hen likes to raise chicks so I'd like her to have a couple of eggs to hatch.  I don't have a rooster at the moment and might be interested in one too.  Thanks in advance. 

If you can't find any eggs locally, let me know. I live about three hours from you but I'd be happy to mail you some. Nothing fancy, just some mixed breeds and maybe a pure silkie or two. Good luck, I hope you find someone close!

M, I know you had asked for pictures of the peachicks and I kept forgetting to post them, so here they are! They are opal.

Glad she's doing well! Yes, they do not sit still for pictures. Getting good pictures of them is like pulling teeth, I swear. I'm happy to hear she's nice and friendly. People keep telling me their cemanis are skittish and unfriendly. I keep telling them they're not raising them right, lol! Here's the best picture I've been able to get of my GFF pullets so far.

She is one of the best girls I have... she runs around like a loon for about an hour after letting her " free range" in my yard. Then after awhile she slows a bit, comes up to familiar people and peeps, indicating she wants a treat. She doesn't stay still, but if you happen to catch her ,she quiets right down,peeps and does this funny purr-ish noise. She will stay for a bit then it's off to running again. She is friendly and curious with us. She'll jump on my spade when I am gardening and looks in the hole...looking for bugs.and when my husband is there she follows him about all day.
I do have a question though... do Cerami's mature slowly? She still peeps all the time. She is growing just fine but I was curious about the peeps. My other chicks are only a little bit older but all of them intermittently use big girl clucking except when they find something good to eat then they peep like a chick again and run away..

It was nice to meet you too. Kaite still talks about ChickenStock and asks if we will go again.

I didn't have as pleasant an experience with the Amish unfortunately. I understand separatism and whatever but they were rude if you weren't dealing with them at their table. Which to me is odd since they were at an "English" event... no excuse me's and just pushing their way through the food line. They were rude to Kaite even. IDK.
I will be happy to see you again in spring that will be fun. At least this year I will know a couple people. ill still be a buyer though.
Maybe this spring you'll be prepared to bring everything you couldn't this year.

My Silver Laced Wyandotte Chick, Fern (8 weeks) & Partridge Rock chick Honey (7 weeks) seem to be looking more grown up every day.

I was sitting in the dogpen run with them hoping to get some photos to use in the calendar competition, when I got these classics as they were absolutely transfixed by a plane going overhead... absolutely still and staring, then seemed to 'shake it off'. Not sure which to enter though, leaning towards the second one......

Quote: Did I meet you ?
Yes ..she is debating whether or not to have it ...or not ..I think we were all a little rough on her ...
She paid the extra to host it ...and if she hosts another she can make up the rules

I have but who has used jeans that can be used for aprons. The ones I've got on have holes in them. I wear them out.    To buy used at the Rescue mission is about $7 a pair. 

I do. I have a whole tote full. Most have holes near the rear pockets or crotch (climbing on tractors), but I saved them for making a braided rug. That was supposed to be one of the demos by Cass at Tabs Chickenstock. Combination of jeans from my dad, brother, husband and me.
