good to meet all also thankfull the weather did hold out till noon and then just a splash of rain.
The manager of the tsc asked if we do this again to let them know before hand so they can get a flyer out to their customers and let them know about it. We will have to remember their willingness. Unfortunately I didn't aquire any new chickens , but did stop by the local bird show at the jamile temple and got a quartet of lovebirds.

Great time this morning! Amy I was good and only brought home 1 girl..a RIR/EE mix from John. Jack had some beauties and since we live close I might have to talk about some EE's with him

I loved the emu baby...still can't believe it is only a week old and the eggs were great! All in all a great morning and glad the rain held off until we were done.

Guess I better get to hatching some so I have some for the next swap!

Nadine;

I didn't bring anything home

cuz hubby told me if I brought home any more chickens, I'd be sleeping with 'em. I did consider one of the emus - figured they would be big enough to at least keep me warm next winter.

But I did get to meet some great folks and see some beautiful birds! So, it was all good.

Some pictures I got from the meet up:

It was nice meeting everyone and I enjoyed the meet up.

I am glad that the weather held off until most of us had left. I came home with 4 Speckled Sussex. Oh and the baby emu's were soo cute I really liked them!

I hope that we get to do this next year, maby get some more people, and tell the tsc before we do it too. "The manager of the tsc asked if we do this again to let them know before hand so they can get a flyer out to their customers and let them know about it."

I made a video of my new little fuzzy buts:

I sold a RIR/EE mix pullet to Snick. Everyone seemed really interested in her, though. I bought 4 chicks (hopefully at least 1 rooster in the bunch) from Phoneman (Jack).

We definately need to do this again. And I will def make sure I save some birds to take next time. I'm guessing sometime shortly after summer starts (6-21-11).

Well, so glad that everyone had a great time. Hope that I can make the next one!!!

Our weekend at the rodeo went well . . . My daughter placed 3rd in Pole Bending and 2nd in Breakaway Roping on Friday night and then they canceled Saturdays rodeo around 2:30 pm due to the storms.
