Right now I just wanted to set the date for the next meet up so that people can plan ahead, set that day aside. More details to come!

Right now it's Sat. FEB 25, Dos Picos Park, Ramona If you have anything you'd like to donate for prizes please PM me. If you have kids let me know
how many and roughly their ages. We'd like to plan a few things for them as well. We may have a contest or two so please keep looking for details!!

I just put in an order for Nava's beautiful blue and splash Naked Necks!

I'll be bringing any that I don't keep for sale the day of the meet up. You
don't know cute until you've seen a NN chick!

Wow, really?? its 1200?? I was grossly underestimating....

I have yet to hatch more than 10, so I can't even fathom what 500 chicks look like, let alone 1200....

Wow that's crazy.... why aren't all those people that buy them here on BYC?? Think of what our turnouts could be!!

Hey San Diegians,
I would like to do a second Greenfire Farms order but they need more chicks to make up the minimum order. I would pay the express mail shipping.

Is anyone planning on ordering anything from them? Cream legbars?? Swedish flower hens maybe?? Jubilee orpingtons??- (Ok not them unless you have recently come into some $$$

). Here is the website http://greenfirefarms.com/ . The Olandsk dwarf may be of interest to you serama lovers??? They are on the edge of extinction. http://greenfirefarms.com/store/category/chickens/olandsk-dwarf/

I am pretty happy with GFF so far. If you are interested please pm me and maybe we can get a head start with rare bred chicks and eggs by easter

.

Waaaaay out of my needs. I do not need anything that expensive. Count me out.

I'd love some Cream Legbars, but I think my hubby would leave me if I spent $99 on a single chicken...

Well the Cream Legbars were my one and only Christmas pressie. Sadly one did not make it, and understandably GFF do not want an order of one chick. Sigh.....

Also not all are $99, many are $19

I am interested. Really busy and should not even be on. I will pm you in a bit. I was thinking about ordering and doubted I could make the minimum by myself. So this would be cool.
