I remember the little store out from the park (don't remember the name) but the guy who ran it had the handlebar mustache, everyone called him Catfish!

We mostly went on the weekends and didn't have a whole lot to do after swimming and boating all day so we would go out to the store and play pool.

Also remember there was this little mall and I do mean little. Have no idea where it was or what it was called, but there was only like 4 stores in it and there was nothing that struck our interest.

We would go all the way back out to Valley View just to have something else to do, especially if all the guys were going out on the boat to fish in the late evening hours.

Ahh, memories.

And now I am hatching chickens!!

Hello from the Valley of Virginia...

I know there are many of yall stalking on this board....my question is would anyone be interested in an egg or chicken swap somewhere in our state? (Maybe this is already being done...if so, let me know)

My idea would be to have a getogether (ann egg train?) with everyone bringing stories, eggs, and maybe chicks to swap. I would like to raise a couple of other breeds, and hatching eggs from some local breeders would be a great way for me to expand the flock and try new breeds on a small scale. This kind of swap would be for BYCers and friends, not the public. We could post what is available ahead of time, so that people could make plans on which eggs to save ,etc. Local folks could teach each other about the breed they work with, and we may learn anew thing or two...

Any interest in this? Id be willing to work with another person or two to set something up... pass this around and PM or reply if you would like to do something like this...

I breed LF cochins and ameraucans.

Folks, tomorrow is the final day to comment on the commonwealth's proposed changes in the rules concerning all livestock in Virginia. Here is a link to the regulations:

http://register.dls.virginia.gov/vol27/iss11/v27i11.htm#p2v5140

You have until tomorrow to respectfully petition the state vet to change the poultry importation rules of the state back into compliance with the rules of the majority of the other states. We are seeing more and more breeders and hatcheries putting notices on their websites stating they will NOT ship into Virginia. In addition, you may want to protest the rule change requiring the individual identification of every animal (livestock) in the commonwealth.
