What is it you think you know...? I did not sell much here.

Whole lotta hatchin going on though.

I wish i could have been with you. Next year I am car pooling with one of you. i will not accept this answer again "we can not drive 6 hours for a c-h-i-c-k-e-n s-w-a-p!!! Oh yeah and do not forget his rolling eyeballs at me

DH is supportive and all but what a dork!!!

I will leave him at home next year and hitch a ride!!

I was

when I saw you went to Shay's in MA instead of HHHBelgian's in PA. You do know I was only teasing, right? DH's are always dorks, unless it's something they want to do. I vote for you and krista carpooling next year, that's a great idea

Total knew you were. You got the better deal!! Sahy's was great for a local one but you guys partied way harder!! Still green with envy!

Might I add that Nava and EL W. were the most amazing couple I have ever met in my life! They have been together for 13 years ( married for 13 years) and being around those two was like watching two teenagers in love!

the hottest sweetest spiciest couple around ...

If there is a marriage to want to have based on respect-sincerity-love and devotion--you guys have it!

Love you guys and thank you for dinner and your generosity!!

Kristen was the best road trip buddy and thank Gosh she was a nurse because Im not kidding when I say I was sick from Sunday night and still am nautious right now

... Cant tell you what it was or is just bleahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Feel like Im seriously preggers ( dont say it...the plumbing was removed 5 years ago!) The energy this chicka has despite all other stuff is rocking...energizer bunny...she just keeps going and going and goingggggggg....I might add to she is like the flipping dictionary and encyclopedia all in one--she knows everything and or has done it to boot!!! Thank you for sharing your car and your hospitality and generosity as well!!!! Im not eating those reeces!!

Carrie was the sweetest shy thing at first--then after a little "soda" LOL she was smiling and a social butterfly... love you Carrie and congrats on all your prizes!!! Oh and Hi Michael

...dont ever be shy with us-you were glowing with happiness the whole time!

1mommahen-has a face of the friendliest person ever! Thank you for bringing "petunia" to sell she will fit right in here with her sisters!!! Haha It was such a joy to meet you as I knew it would be.

Jason and Steph again another amazing couple with the love and farm to die for-cute cute cute-

!!!!!! Thank you again for so much fun and with such open arms and generosity!!! I hope you do have it again next year it will be such an honor to come back and share it with you guys!!!

ChikieMamma-Ann...There's not much to say when you bring tears to my eyes when I finally met you. My first real BYC buddy I met when I first joined. You were verything I pictures and sounded like-adorable -spunky--and just plain genuine and sweet!!!

Grethchen and Patty troopers--I thought they were the ones that were going to mud wrestle with all they endured!!! Im sure the wine and margos helped a wee little bit. Gretchen has to be the most talented painter ever. Her paintings were even more amazing in person!!! Both such hysterical fun loving women that remind of Thelma and Lousie! hahaha again a pleasure to meet both of you!

Purple chicken-your cuter in person

Hi Don I had to give away that silkie roo I brought for you to "show" us how things need to be done!
Ladies..I have to say This "single" man is a prize! Did I say that outloud??? Crud I did it again!

A Happychick. you have got to be the tiniest fiestiest little pistol I have ever met ( next to Nava-hehe) ( remind me when my 11 yr old outgrows her clothes to ship them your way-Im just jealous is all hahaha LOL...What a fun time and a good laugh with you-anytime you guys want to come and visit -you are more than welcome bon fire pit will be roaring!!

Im so overwhelmed right now with everyone else I met-I just want to say thank you all for such an awesome time..It was totally worth the

's LOL Id do it all over again

Aces...Chickenlittle...phage...blessed...Klf73...Brindle...Hoppy...SEM TOOOO!!!!!.....you were thought of the whole entire time and we missed you dearly!

Quick brief on arriving home-I went to throw out eggs from under my broody that were going on 26 days...well crud if after I threw them away that something made me pip them...2/5 were still alive A CALL DUCK EGG-I thought it was a splash amaracana egg!! and my friends tester turkey egg...I ran with them up to the house while the duck was hatching in my hands ( the broody went on a eating spree outside and wouldnt come back in!!! I put the baby under a heating lamp with a wet warm wash clothe and its yolk sac was not fully absorbed -like the size of a grape. I tied off the end so it would stop bleeding and its been wrapped in a wet washclothe for an hour...she is is my arms as we speak...im going to pull a nava and take this cutey to bed with me to keep her warm...good night all my peeps!!!

I am not forgetting anyone I know I have to talk about alot more people but after a 10 hr drive and a peeping baby in my hand I have to call it a night...

hmmm, how far is windsor from windham? i will have to look it up....
I need to eventually go to one of these things, didn't the rules change here about testing and being able to sell up here? I have a LOT of chicks in my brooders but I don't know who is staying yet

well, other than my "pullets" (read cockeral) that came from the feed store.

Nat, sounds like you gals had a grand time. I might still get to meet Kristin if she comes our way

. Still would have loved to have gone

Hoppy, wasn't there some big argument about chickenstocks up here, something about testing? I can't remember, I dropped out when everyone started arguing....

aces, the kids each have had a "pet", but as it typically happens with kids, I ended up with pet hampsters, pet rats, and pet hermit crabs. I am probably forgetting something. I hate to say this out loud but I am sooo glad those rodents have a short life span

I hated cleaning cages indefinitely

You described Nava and El to a T!!!! I love those two! Yes, I missed you all , good you're back

Okay with all my lip flapping about behavior modification of a rooster-well I will be posting a blow by blow posts about his PROGRESS, LOL.
Today. He's young, just started crowing and jumping the girls. He's big, a JG. He pecked me when I went to pick him up, then he challenged me when I was behind him.

Day 1. I picked him up and held him for 10 minutes, and got to play with his wattles and ears. Then I put him down and he still had that "look", so I stalked him all over the yard, keeping him moving, until he said "uncle", then he stood there and looked at me and would not move, like he was waiting for permission. That's what I want.

I will win this.

Hi Natalie
I hope your feeling better. I'm hatching again! I took a break because I had too many. But then someone encouraged me to bid on some eggs Sunday. And I won 3 doz! Well, I put your eggs in the bator tonight. Can you show me pics of the split lav and frizzle parentage.
Thanks
Joanne

Sounds like you guys had a fab time and it is great to have you back safely.

Where are the pics?????

And am inclined to agree with Brindle that it was the Margos MAY have been at least partially responsible for Nat's

Actually Brindle was very busy while you were gone...hang gliding, bungee jumping, going to the park etc ect, also seems that she found time to star in a rock concert. At least she posted pics!!!!

Great news Nat on the duck

Have to go to DC in 2 weeks - shame the CS wasn't then

. Have to go about every 3 months, and it was weird last time I went as I felt that I had all these new amazing friends on that side of the country!
