Ok thats alittle scary....lol
How do these things work...is it like a get together? picnic? bring your birds or what?

There is a fabulous community park near where I live.

Lisburn Community Park. Its beautiful and huge.

Its a get together where you have food, bring some chickens/ducks/geeses/etc. that you have for sale or trade. You just meet new people and get to talk chicken all day long.

Wicked, would your park allow poultry? Is there an address so people can mapquest to see how far away it is?

I taught my chickens that trick for a local pet parade, but that was with a kernel of corn in my hand. Now they just grab whatever I have in my mouth.

I dont know so much about allowing poultry... I also live near Pinchot State Park we could research that one to see what it allows.
And information for Pinchot can be located here:
