Janos&Jen :

We were in a car accident on Monday. Feeling horrible right about now. I'll see how I feel come Saturday but Eric and Le, if I can't make it to this one I WILL make it to the next and bring your cage.

Hope you guys are OK? That is the most important thing. If there is anything any of us can do for you just holler.​

Hope you guys are okay. I've been in a few, and I know the pain can be awful afterwards, esp whiplash. Take some drugs, feel better!

We might be considering taking an order from a hatchery (Probably McMurray or Idea, but open to suggestionsl) after the swap. Would anyone like to throw an order in to hit the minimum?

Hey Pampered Pullet thanks for the flyer. I am hoping to be there Saturday with my two daughters. One is in FFA and the other will be joining 4-H in the fall. The FFA one is looking for a Cochin and I would like three Barred Rocks. Will there be chicks there? Should I bring a box to take them home in? Looking forward to meeting you and getting advice from you.

I would order from Ideal. They are in Texas. McMurray is in Iowa. I'm only suggesting it because I know some people who ordered from McMurray in the winter and the chicks did get delayed during shipment and many were DOA. If there is any weather problems and the chicks get delayed in shipment you could end up with several DOA's.

don't use Ideal...............all the chicks that have come from there have been sick!!! Such a problem and others have had the same problem as well.

I have gotten chicks from Ideal and they were all healthy. Some of my birds from Ideal are now 3 yrs old and I have some 2 yr olds also from Ideal. Also I had them within 2 days. I think probably why they arrived so quickly is that they didn't have far to go. Also most hatcheries will make it right if some are lost (DOA) during shipment. I had one chick that died two days after I got them and Ideal gave me a refund for that chick.

Tammy, we look forward to meeting with you. There will be all different breeds here. I know everybody is hatching as fast as possible. We will have a few boxes here for people to take chicks home in if they don't have transport cages. See ya here Saturday morn.

Can't wait till Saturday! We will be bringing a lot of poultry and ducks!! Don't know how they will all fit in the s10, but we will get them all there

If anyone was interested in the Key West Gypsy Hen, she snuck out of the coop today while we were getting everyone back inside. Don't know where she went- we did look for her.... hopefully she will come back, but not sure!
