Oh yes need tickets for sure...acidchipmunk/Lovins/you ( taking turns) ( didnt tell her yet but Im sure shell do it if I throw a margo with sugar around the rim at her...

and ! I would love to pre-sell tickets at my work too-just for the 50/50 drawing. This way it adds more money to the pot for everyone I only want 2-3 people doing the selling so as not to confuse everyone and that way I cant point out who the sellers are to people

Ok, stopped at Lowes and picked up the stuff to make a plucker. I'll be testing it today on ducks, if it works I'll throw it in the car and bring it along. Not sure how many birds we're gonna wind up with up there but can't hurt to have it along.

I have a small plucker that worked great on my 3-4 lb birds but two would be magnificant-that and I might coppy yours if its biggers-what are you using for th4e "fingers"???

I was gonna order some, but after you said about the bungees I decided to give that a try.

I'll be helping sell tickets and if need be, we can grab a roll and bring along, just let me know!

I am kinda glad I am working right now because this plucker thing has me scared! I'm hoping that he has all of them done before I get home. We have 6 ducks to do and 2 roos.

I was sitting talking to Jeremy about chickens last night and realized it's only 2 months until Chickenstock! I am so excited! Never been to upstate NY. Hopefully, if Bob comes, your driveway is flat, Nat! If not, we may be picking him up off the ground when he rolls his way to where ever he is sleeping!

LOL...I believe jersey girl is bringing a roll of tickets but bring yours "just in case"-and all 3 of my driveways Bob will roll! Especially if Gratchen has anything to do with it!

Ok I cannot do ducks! So if people are bringing ducks to process your on your own

yes two months away Ive been planning this sucker forever! hahaha

Eggcartons.com is now onboard for donations and such too!!!!!!

If you heard the nonstop quacks you'd change your mind. She's been threatening to swipe the shotgun from the cabinet if I don't process them.

 

[acid_chipmunk]

In all fairness, I didn't threaten to swipe the shotgun until they started eating my pepper plants!

Poor Bob, maybe we should bring some bubble wrap to wrap him in before we send him on his way to bed!

YAY for eggcartons being on board!!!!

Nat's driveway is kinda flat so bob is lucky.................but there is a lake nearby

Hmm..guess that bubble wrap would keep him afloat?
