OK - I call a large "Got Chickens" shirt because it will go with my license plates and window sticker!


Maggie and Karen - the Yankee Classic is so fun - the building is so beautiful!! Wait 'till you see the sale area! Unless something gets in the way. I'll be there for the day - just not showing. Just like I told Lovins - it's not about winning - it's about celebrating your love of these animals and encouraging the same in others. It's about hanging out with people who think like you do. It's about picking the brains of all those there who have been doing this for years - and make sure you ask a LOT of questions! Poultry people are very happy to help those who are just starting out. Do NOT miss the opportunity to learn from so many experienced teachers! That's a mistake I made - boy, when I think of all I might know now if I hadn't felt like my questions were stupid, and felt too shy to ask! Even better, the two of you go up to the show secretary's office later in the morning and ask whoever's there if there is someone from the club who might be willing to spend a few minutes answering questions about showing and breeding. They'll pull someone out for you, and then you'll have a captive audience!

Maybe I'll see you there!

Man...this is exactly why all the meaties HAVE to go this weekend-I might even start processing them come Friday since Im off? On top of all the other set up-4 inches of rain!! They are already brown from the mud-bleah. DH is adding more tin roof sheeting on top of their run so they can have more dry space but if it comes down in buckets it wont matter much:-(

Geesh, didn't anyone put in our request for nice weather this weekend?

Supposed to rain here all day today. Two to 4 inches and we are under flood watches. Makes me glad that I am not working today.

OK, Nat, I gotta go to the store and get the rolls, any idea on how many I should get?

60 of each? no more than that-there's alot of other food besides hamburgs and dogs

Sounds good. Anything else you need us to get. We gotta get the propane tank filled so we can dispatch your muddy meaties.


Hopefully we don't get as much rain as they are calling for, or your brahmas aren't going to be so pretty. I think my Silkies are going to have to stay in their houses today, they just aren't smart enough to stay out of the rain.
