I am amazed the judges would even consider a blue!!
Far Out!!
This may open alot of doors!!

Don't feel too bad CL I was there and am still not sure there were any birds there.

I was told that this show had been almost dead like only 400 birds. Thier new goal is are ya ready for this 3000. I was told by Sherr that there were 1000 at this show.

I am going next time for sure, but with the unexpected death in the family & then dad drove up here (he did not like being alone in the house) it has been very hecktic & distracting to say the least...

The last one in October had about 1000 birds too. They were expecting A LOT more birds, since it was an APA semi annual. I hadn't heard a total until now though...

Darn, don't you just hate encroaching humanity ?
Where do we have to go to get away from them & have a farm and be left to FARM???
Argh!!
I wish my birds would go roost, but when it is daylight til 9 PM, they are wide awak & outside !!!

Goodnight all!!

I thought the monroe show was much better.
I don't think it was worth the drive & hotel stay.
It was a bit too big and somehow too spread out.
But that is just my opinion. I did not have any birds to show.
HOWEVER that being said, I think if it was held in the middle of summer & there were lots of camping spots for everyone and we can make a camping event out of it as well, I'll be there. Bird or no bird.

I've got bunches of it as well, and my arms and legs always have cuts, especially when I take the riding mower through the orchard and don't notice the shorter vines that get around my ankles until I've driven through them and they tighten up and rip my legs open! I now wear gaitors when I mow! The hens LOVE the berries on them, so I am leaving up the vines that grow along the fence-line to feed the hens and hopefully deter the unwelcome dogs and wildlife. My dogs now do great with the chickens! I left them all out free-ranging from dawn to whenever the hens decided to head back home ... sometime between 5&6. I'm feeling better about the wildlife situation. Shasta is getting HUGE, I don't think there's much that will tangle with her.

I have a Stihl Brush Cutter 450 with a steel blade. I first borrowed someones brush hog after I saw a commercial with a little old lady easily walking it through heavy brush. I couldn't handle the thing with all our alders, scotch broom and blackberries! I bought the Stihl because I used them when I worked for the Forest Service. They are great, and you can get in much tighter areas than you can with a Brush Hog, and it is far easier to use.

Goats would be cool too, but I'm afraid to have them with the wildlife here.

Okay, I guess I need to ask....what categories do you look under to find all these things? I am not sure what to look under.

I don't search each category individually I search all of the "for sale" items for key words... such as chickens, crates, kennels, etc etc

Hmmmm, okay that makes sense. I gotta learn how to do this.

Seriously, if I was heading your way or knew someone coming this way, I would buy it from you....Honestly...I just bought this NEW for DD Seramas. Dang.

I thought Jbear was coming your way soon ?

Very true....but I have no clue if she has room? Or if she is even anywhere near this? But last - but not least - I already ordered one that cannot be returned because I bought it on ebay.
