Rocky Mountain Chickenstock raffle winners announced

[thebirdguy]

13 days left till Chickenstock!! 2 weeks from right now I will be madly trying to notify all the winners of the raffle.... If you haven't got your tickets yet there is still plenty of time to mail a check or if you would like to pay online, just pm me for instructions..

Wow, this is getting close, just over 2 weeks left. I'll be bringing as many Wheaten Ameraucana chicks as I can fit in my car. Well, not really, but should have a good selection.

Fun! I might go just for those! Blue egg or green? How old will they be?

Very nice blue eggs, and the chicks will range from 2 months to 4 months.

 

[La Casa de Pollo]

Oh man! You have started pullets? I will get one from you for sure! The older the better....I will be sure to get there early to make sure I can get one from you! 11 am sharp I am trying SOOOOO hard to get a blue egg layer, it is ridiculous. AND I am overrun with chicks so an older one would be great because I have very few layers left. Woo hoo now I am very excited Will you pick out a good one for me

Azriel, will you have Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas as well? I won't be able to make the Chickenstock this year, but my friend, La Casa de Pollo can pick up a chick (or two?) for me.

Well, I found out today that PayPal does not allow for raffle tickets to be purchased through PayPal. Checks or Money Orders can still be mailed to me at the address in the first post.. If you would like to pay for your tickets another way, please pm or email me for instructions.

Thanks!!!

Why can't the money be sent as a "gift"? I would think that's what it technically is because we're not making a purchase of a specific item, we just are getting our name in a drawing for a 'chance' to win something. Please reply to me privately (as well as via post for other people) because I'm having a hard time getting BYC notifications and the threads I follow are running at warp speed. ty!

Also, regarding the live chicks/etc that are donated, do you have to be there in person to win those or are they shipped fm origin? I started reading and wasn't paying attention to the dates and realized this is very very soon! Sadly, I may only be able to purchase tickets.

Thank you,
j.

"Donations" can always be sent via paypal to [email protected]... it's just that Paypal considers purchasing raffle tickets as gambling which is against their policies. My wife has bought a number of raffle tickets as gifts for byc members though.......

The live chicks donated are going to be given away at the event to 4H kids to raise for the fair... All the prizes in the raffle go to winners.. I have the incubator, gift certificates and non egg prizes and will ship those as needed. All the hatching eggs will be shipped directly to the winners by the generous donors so as to maximize hatchability..

The event is Saturday May 5th and everyone is welcome to attend... however, if you can't come, please feel free to purchase raffle tickets as you do not have to be present to win!!!!

Chickielady donated some eggs for our raffle.. that is what she is referring to..

...

BTW Chickielady... your hens have plenty of time to start laying again... We have 5 weeks left until the Chickenstock and then the winner of your eggs will be in contact and you can arrange a shipping time when it's convenient for both of you..

Did I mention that we only have FIVE WEEKS LEFT until the Chickenstock??

BTW---------Birdguy, my hens are still raising the babies !!!!!!!!!!!!



I still have plenty of Black Java hens laying, but few Buckeye hens, as several went broody & raised younguns'
BUT I can send eggs later on, a month or so ?
Will that work ?

 

[Chickielady]

Oh man....I so want to go. Not a lot of cash at the moment. Don't think I can make it. I am starting to add things like this to my "to do for next year" and start stashing cash for it now.

So, next year I drive over the hill, pick you up & we go !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone... 1 week from tomorrow morning!!! I've had a request from someone coming to the Chickenstock that I think is a great suggestion..

If you are coming to the Chickenstock please post on this thread what you are looking for and what you have to offer. Especially for those that have a bulky item like an incubator or shipping boxes, it would be nice to know someone was coming for that item rather than haul it on the chance of interest.

Please also post what breeds and ages of poultry you are bringing to sell/trade. For the one or two people that might have a wish list

, wouldn't hurt to post that as well... you never know who might decide to bring what you are looking for if they knew there was an interest!!


See you all in a week!!
