Thank you Jake! Got my birds (well, on Thursday), my Welsh Harlequin Ducks, and the goats (Agatha is preggers

) and I'm one happy lady

It's going to be hard though - I get 3 pullets and "6" cockerels - how on earth am I going to be able to choose which cockerels to keep

Is that a clean faced, feather necked, turkey beaked, web footed vulture ???

I have a son of this drake and he is currently solid black (he's young) and just AWESOME. He is eye candy and I adore him. I'm imagining all the mutant-size babies he will hopefully produce and how delicious the culls will be (mmmmmmmmmmmm!!)

Pettec- Looking forward to helping each other out. Glad I could teach you how to pick up your drakes without needing body armour.

Cool!! Yea same here! I REALLY appreciate that!! (so did my trashed hands)!! I used the technique to move the ones I traded and it worked like a charm!! I learned so much from you this weekend!! Thank you!!

Which reminds me of the time I left him to feed the horses one evening while I took a break with friends. The next morning I went out to feed only to find the wood divider between stalls a chewed up mess. Come to find out DH forgot to feed that night. He said, "no big deal, they would live til morning" Another time I went out in the AM and found several bags of shavings chewed thru and eaten. The horses had leaned over the fence as far as their hungry necks could let them and chose to either eat shavings or starve! He makes me want to SCREAM! Thats why I never want to spend the night at a chicken show or anywhere else for that matter. I will take care of my own animals THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Sometime just serv up an empty plate for dinner and tell him you will survive till morning. What yer hungry here have some shavings. Did Ithink that out loud?? Dang straight.

Argh...I totally forgot to hunt you down. I sorta got sidetracked.

I can certainly relate. At the March show I took way too many birds and was so busy taking care of them that I barely got a chance to talk with anyone else. I had several nice conversations with folks at this last one and met some new folks I hadn't before. Some were first timers and I had a few lengthy discussions with them. Unfortunately, the longer I talk with somebody the less time I have to do so with others.

Oh well, there's always March. Look forward to meeting a previous neighbor - so to speak - and another ex-Idiot Out Walking Around.

God Bless,

Ok so now I missed Ariloveschickens and tailfeathers!!! Jeez I'm a loser!!

We just have to make it a point this spring!!!

I was one of those 'first-time' exhibitors and was soooo nervous that I was not sure I would even unload my birds. Those who were there Fri night know that is not an exaggeration as I was shaking so badly I could barely talk -- major hardship for friendly, chubby 'ol me =:~)

The wonderful and lovely folks that are on here that I know personally would not be there (fri evening) and I knew that I would be on my own. If anyone here has an opportunity the thank dear sweet ANN for her quiet hand-holding and reassurance please do so. She is most definitely an asset to your show.

There are no words to fully express my appreciation for Royce and Erhard for their kindness and support in making me feel less like a "competitor" but more like a cohort with their generosity of spirit and helpful advise.

For the folks that were not WA-BYC party attendees, I am sorry but, Yes, we did have a great time. If you couldn't enjoy that part of the day then I think you must have been having a bad 'personal' day and maybe a better day next gathering. Don't tell, but the secret was 'attitude' -- that I went to a party and a 'Chicken Show' happened, too!

That as short as I can get it and still say some sort of "thanks" -- so again THANKS

(I don't know how to do the sig line thingy) but

too little time, too little $$$, but not enough chickens
