Hi Kevin - I didn't even think about tomorrow being Friday the 13th - it must be a lucky day if you were born on one. I do hope that you can come for a visit during POOPS some day - I'm sure there will be lots of reports on the board about everything next week. Thanks so much for the good wishes - you have a great day over there in Nevada!

The Fletcher fairgrounds are located just outside the main part of Fletcher, on the North side.

From I-44 go 5 mi. north on Hwy 277 from Exit #53, and turn east on North Drive.

From 277 just follow 277 S until the "WildCat Express" Drive thru and turn east on North Drive.

The fairgrounds are on the East side of Hwy 277, just north of the railroad track.​

November '64

I've gotten a little lazy on trying to read all you guys' post so I search for my user name and see if anyone asked me a question or posted a comment that I missed and voila...look what I found. Shows you that I'm not on much.

Hi how's your bird's doing ....Hope it's not as hot out your way as it is hear...

The birds are great, I even have a 4 hole incubator going (broodies) so the population will be up in a few weeks. Hope to hatch out BCM's, olive egger (F1, 2, and 3), blue/blue wheaten ameraucanas, EE's, and BLRW. Last week in the 100's, this week so far 68-88 for highs. Even a little sky crying on Monday-Tuesday.

Today through the weekend is supposed to be in the 90's. I could get used to this but it won't last.

Anybody going to POOPS that might have an old APA standard book for sale. I would be interested in one.

thank you for explaining what a "4 hole incubator" was. I saw that and thought ?????
I too, have several broody hens acting as incubators for me right now. They are definately the best way to hatch.

Did they ever get the new and improved standard published? I heard in 2010 that it was due out, but since it isn't something I use except for identification, I didn't pay much attention to whether it was published as anticipated.​

This is my first time trying broodies in years. We had 2 last year that I broke down and gave pheasant eggs to but I wasn't around for hatch date and my boy wasn't paying attention so it was a disaster. A couple of these had been sitting on golf balls, the day's crop, or air for a while so I gave in and they are doing great so far.

They are an EE, OEGB, white Marans, and a cuckoo Marans.

The runner duck started earlier and I gave her 3 BCM eggs, 2 disappeared over last weekend and the last must have hatched while I was at work yesterday. I don't think that it was to her liking, ugly duckling?

Always nice talking to you, have a great day.
