We got home around 10pm last night, unloaded the chickies and headed to bed. Sorry I had to jet out of there so fast but I had to relieve my mother in law of babysitting duties, so she and I could go to work at the crack of dawn....literally. Thank you so much for hosting and sharing your wonderful home and beautiful property.

If things don't work out next year with lovin's farm we could have it at our place. There are 3 Interstates that run through Binghamton so it would be a great opportunity for a Northeast Regional Chickenstock.

So here here's the low down on this years chickenstock.

purchased one banty coop and run $125
Chickstock teeshirt $20
Raffle tickets $5
Replacement raffletickets because I lost the first ones $20
Found the first batch of tickets
picked up roo for friend...traded jam
purchased 5 chicks $30
Hanging with my BYC peeps..........priceless
 
OK, so we made it home around 5 and I called off work for today. There was no way I would have been able to function and keep people safe today. Got the kids up and around for school and went to sleep. Woke up to it pouring down rain...

Got Gretchen on her way home around noon and my porcelain d'Uccles escaped the brooder and are running around the shop. Little turds!

Now onto the weekend! What a GREAT time we had!

Nat welcomed up with huge hugs when we got there and gave us a great place to camp, right next to the fire. Moved Nat's new girls into their new homes and got everyone else unloaded and set up.

Saturday night was one for the memory banks! Poor Mark never knew what hit him being around Bob and Jeremy!

At least now he is inducted into their little "club"! Had a wonderful time sitting around the campfire laughing and joking about everything. Got to meet a lot of Nat's amazing family, who welcomed us all with open arms!

Sunday was gorgeous! Sun was shining and it was warmer than Saturday. Bob cooked us a great breakfast and Kristen brought some awesome bread! Then we were off and running for NY Chickenstock 2010!

A nap is an understatement!
I dropped sally off around 830 in Ilion then I was on auto pilot home to Philli Got in around 1:50, got all the frigen roosters settled in, Baileys new Hen and my 2 new pullets (cant believe I only bought 2!) it was 3 by the time my head hit the pillow and 650 when I was back up, Tied to convinces the baby he wanted a nap, but he had other plans.
