Hi everyone as you know the fall P.O.O.P.S will be Sept. 26th. It has been decided that we would have a Pot luck lunch & dinner! We are looking for foods that are just as good cold as they are hot.

We will have limited outlets for crock pots if that is something you might be interested in. We will also have limited space to keep things cool between lunch and dinner, so if you bring something that needs to be kept cool make arrangements for that. For some folks that travel you could possibly have your ingredients made and put them together on site. Keep in mind the number of people that will be attending when making your dish or dishes.

We will also need paper goods, silverware & drinks. I have a couple of large igloo coolers that can be used for tea & kool-aid. If you have an one we could use let me know. I will need volunteers for set up before each meal along with volunteers for clean up after.

Please contact (PM) myself or TJ’s Nana if you have any questions or if you need a suggestion as to what you can bring. I will keep a running list of items.

Congratz to all you gals and guys showing and placing.
WOW like Grace said, its alot of work you guys and gals sure outdid yourselves.

I do know that is one thing I do not want to do is show. I aint bathing a chicken and sitting for hours blow drying it. I will leave that to NaNa.

Getting excited about POOPS anyone else??????

I may be bringing my Barred Japs to Poops, mainly for a sex id and an age guess. These silly things have not laid an egg one for me, nor are they crowing. They dont fight each other as if they all 3 were roos. If they are they are for sale.

Edit to ask, do the jap roos have spurs? I looked on hendersons and to me mine look like roos, they have the long wattles and tall combs BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VVEC is so bad, we lost power this morning at 1:30 for no obvious reason. So I had to get up & crank up the generator so the incubator and brooder would continue to run. As of this morning 25 out of 31 eggs have hatched and I'm officially over-run with chicks! 4 llittle black ones, one yellow puff ball, and the rest of this batch are all pure golden buff orpingtons. I'm goin to leave the remaining 6 eggs in the bator till tomorrow night but none of them have pipped. My bator looks like a disaster!

So who is going to Blanchard tonight?

We're excited. I think this is going to be the first time we have gone to it when it wasn't blazing hot. Should be a whole 'nother experience.

I'm almost finished with another chicken tractor. This one is going to have a door so it can double as a coop for my meaties when we get our poultry netting. And it will also eventually have a removable battery of nest boxes for our Cornish parent flock (we will be using the standard Cornish as our meat birds).

Gerald and I will be there. We're getting eggs ready now & then will figure out what birds to take. We even have more bourbon red turkey eggs this week. My other turkeys have shut down, except for one every few days, but I think we may have close to a dozen bourbon eggs.

We'll be taking whatever veggies are ripe to Blanchard too. I have a feeling we won't have much left in 2 weeks for POOPS though. The garden is almost done for the year

I hope the Blanchard auction is still good tonight even though many people will be home watching football games or going to tea parties.

Tuttle Tigers Football Team won last night !!!!!!

Channel 9 was there http://www.news9.com/Global/category.asp?C=116601&clipId=4122159&topVideoCatNo=112037&autoStart=true My cousin's boy, Ethan Biddy scores a touchdown in the clip!!!!!

Yes, sadly I misunderstood something from last year... I though since it wasn't a sanctioned show the game cocks didn't have to be dubed... but they did... and mine wasn't!

Aw, poo. Oh well, at least you know there's probably nothing else wrong with him.

For those of our new members and members who were unable to attend the Okies in the BYC POOPS, it is a family oriented affair, where members come to meet the folks we talk to everyday on this forum, and enjoy the one thing we all have in common our fondness of poultry. This year promises to be one you do not want to miss, and as I stated it will be bigger and better than ever, this year we are planning the following.

1. Food : This year we will be featuring a full pot luck lunch and dinner.

3. A night of fun filled entertainment at the clubhouse. featuring song and dance numbers w/ live music and skits, along with a wheel of misfortune.
4. Several static displays for your learning and viewing pleasure.

AL (al6517) & Monty (Buckguy20): Commitee chairmen.

Carah (Sooner) & Eulaine (TJ's Na-Na) : Food and Beverages. contact these ladies with your ideas, dishes, and help. A list has been started and is circulating around our thread. It is very important to the success of the event that everybody participates and brings food.
