Hey guys... this is Drafthorsegal.
Welcome all the new people! Yea! I love it that so many Washingtonians have chickens.
Iron, glad you had fun on your trip... weren't you the one strutting about how you LOVED hot weather though? I hear this week we're gonna be in the 100s. Hope you enjoy it. I made my hubby move the AC from my art studio over to the living room alongside the other one because of the heat. Sorry to hear about your BAJA
.
Imp, thats a great shed setup for your four girls. It looks like you spoil them rotten. It's amazing what people can do with prebuilt things. I can't wait to post some of my pics for my own coup, but I can't untill my DH gets more done on it - and since we've had the house guest we've not had a lot of time. She's returned to Canada though, so we'll be off and running on it.
My computer got a nasty virus, and I lost all my email accounts, my BYC account, and my ability to post almost everywhere on the net. After a serious wipe, I'm back, but I am using a new account here (because I couldn't get into Drafthorsegal).
Weaveagarden - I've been to the Oakville sale.. it was interesting. I wouldn't say its the cleanest place in the world and I'd be careful what I bought there, but it was fun going and seeing all the HUGE roosters. When I was there, someone had a gazillion Buff Orphs youngsters that were crazy beautiful... and my hubby had to drag me kicking and screaming out of there before the baby lamas came up for sale. They had sheep, rabbits, and tons of pigeons along with the chickens. Anyhow, you can get the auction times at www.camofarms.com - the next one is on August 1, and then again on August 22nd.. auction starts at 10am, animal checkin at 8am... but I think they start actually bidding when the crowd settles down, and that might be as early as 930ish or so. It's not a big place, but its well worth the trip. They have a big following and lots of regulars.
