It is really wonderful that these potlucks are occurring. I want to remind everyone, quickly, to please contact the show committee ahead of time and get permission/make arrangements. I was made aware on Friday night that most, if not all, of the club officers were not made aware. We do need to respect that sometimes venues have space constraints or contractual restrictions that place a limit on what they can allow to occur. Also, they do pay steep fees to rent the grounds.

It really worked out quite well this time, but in order to stay in good graces we need to be polite guests and ask permission. If arrangements are made far enough ahead of time, perhaps at some of these smaller shows participation could be opened up to a broader audience. So good to see those of you at the show.
Quote: Very good point although I have a bit of mixed feelings about a small portion of it. I will leave it at that.

Good morning everyone!

I so enjoyed seeing everyone at the show yesterday! Seeing old BYC friends and meeting new ones! (and I don't mean "OLD"!) Great food too! Everone really outdid themselves! I am hoping to make it to a few more show this year, to at least come and socialize. Maybe one day I will venture into showing. Have a great Sunday!

I am thinking that somewhere amongst all that great food yesterday I must have eaten something that my body is really not too fond of. See since right after lunch my lips have felt kind of tingley and burning. This morning still same thing plus a killer head ache and just feel like poo. I have no idea what what else it might be however I have never had any known food allergy issues.

Wow replying on my own post how lame am I ! Lol well one of the two chicks is doing some kinda weird stuff and we are a little worried first of all it keep spinning in circles, whats more concerning is it will fall over onto it back and trys to get up but can't " most of the time " we left to get some Lunch and and came home at it was on its back kinda gasping a little we got it up and dipped its beak into the water a couple times and after a few it started eating and drinking for a while then the whole cycle repeated itself again they are 3 days old and we just picked them up today is it just stress ? Brooder temp is good plenty of food water Ect.The other chick it doing great so I dunno what's up

Where did you get them from? Id call the place and hate to say this to you but you need to take them back.. At least I would that doesnt sound good. How old are they? What kind of Chicks are they?

You should have told Cheri that you gave it to me, and that i was holding it ransom. We could have taken our pick of chickens at her house then.

Oh so thats how its going to be

They are silkies. We bought them from a local Gal she seemed very sincere she gave us a four page pamphlet on raising chick and left her number so we could keep in contact . I bought some sulmat and treated their water . she seems a lot better today I've never owned chicks before I just want to do the right things for them

Precisely, although i dislike the eagles that we have out here as well, luckily i found that if you put up a bunch of 10 ft posts, "used to be trees" the eagles don't like them because i would guess it limits their ability to swoop.
