Hey Joe, yes we did!!! I already knew what fun they would have, it is really cool to see those birds but even better to see all your crazy chicken friends.
Morning - It's nippy out there. Time for another cup of coffee.
Hello picture takers. We're waiting, anxiously, to see your pictures from Shawnee. Storytellers, please entertain us. Tell us all the good stuff that happened so we stay-at-homes won't feel so left out.
Joe - We'll go next year. I'm committed. We can share a ride if you want. Maybe we can get a group from this part of the state to go together. I'd love to make it a two-day event by getting hotel rooms, meeting for meals, and being able to see everything both days. I think I'm going to start collecting my extra pennies now. Maybe by next year I'll have enough to pay for my hotel room.
As long as I don't have the Christmas party out of town again I will be there. I really missed going this time & thought of everyone that was there yesterday. Maybe I can work to get the boss to change it to another weekend......
The best part of the day was just talking to people.
I talked to many people that I had never seen before and likely never see again.
Some from Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Pennsylvania.
Then of course I talked to lots of people I did know and will see again.
I learned a little bit about NN's, saw some gorgeous bantam nn's which I found out are a lot more rare than I knew. At least quality ones.
I also learned a little about breeding them.
There were only a few standard size there.
I know that if blue was a recognized color that I have some that would have done well there.
I also found out that it will be next to impossible to ever get them accepted.
I gotta run and head to church.
When you have time Monty, I would like to know what you learned about NN breeding. Come spring I will have extra NN bantams, I have been told my roo is good other than the leg color & I will be breeding to fix that......so info on breeding would be a good thing.
