I had a VERY good time at POOPS yesterday. The star of the event was of course Mr. Al for all the work that he did to get the event to work so well. Many others went above and beyond to make POOPS wonderful, but Al devoted countless hours, days, and weeks to the mission. He deserves a gold medal! Thank you
Once again, I was so busy selling birds & eggs I didn't get enough opportunities to go around visiting with others or even buy much of anything. Helping with the auction, I didn't even see most of the birds that were auctioned. I managed to snag a few though
I didn't get to visit with enough Okies before the event was over
To everyone that bought frizzle naked neck chicks yesterday ... it just dawned on me that those are highly likely to be my experiment birds, a cross between frizzle naked neck and blue copper olive egger, especially if they are blue, black or splash. That explains to me why some of the NN chicks had feathers on their legs (our blue copper marans have feather legs & our olive eggers are crosses between blue copper marans and blue & black ameraucana). The pullets may lay olive green eggs! If you don't like them, just let me know & I'll buy them back for more
I'll just hatch some more now
Donnie, we stayed late. You could have bought those NNs from us, but now you have some of our project eggs. Surely there will be some frizzle NNs in the bunch
Oh, and I was extremely happy and fortunate to win the raffle for your chicks. I wonder what kinds they are?
Beautiful chicks!
Les & Teva, I hope you like those eggs. Most came from our blue & black NN pen, which are decendents from Jimshappycowboy on BYC, and which NAVA in Florida now owns the original flock of. Really nice birds! I hope you get a good hatch.
Betsy, thanks for the great deal on your birds. I absolutely love them!
Wayne and Brenda, I never got a chance to visit with ya'll yesterday & now you're headed home to Tennessee.
Well, although I'm still exhausted from POOPS, I'd better get around to cleaning & feeding.
Oh, and Gerald's birthday is today!!! I guess I need to try & spoil him a little.
