here are a bunch of chick pictures - it's way easier to post them in the album since there are so many!

And as far as members, I have really only met chicken rustler and cloverleaf as far as new folks (plus, her and I are friends on facebook). I already know pips&peeps because we are on the same side of the state. I was surprised that more BYC folks haven't come up and said hello. I saw some of cmsdvm's birds but not them yet. Tomorrow we will be there for the awards ceremony and coop out. My sister brought her white call drake and blue sumatra bantam hen for youth. The sumatra got ignored and didn't even get judged with the rest of the birds so ended up getting BV but her call drake did amazing. He got BV,BOB,best of class, best bantam duck, best duck, and best waterfowl. The weather was amazing over here, when I checked the weather last weekend, it was supposed to be raining and cold but it was hot today which was a nice break.
As for me, I won a dozen LF barred rock eggs and I got a trio of bantam single combed light brown leghorns. Not the best looking birds right now and I am not sure of the age of them but they can be worked with over time. Also I plan to use them in a breeding project...

Your right, am sorry that i didn't even think to see how many folks at the show also visit here....I don' t know very many people but do remember seeing You.... Congratulations to your sister...! Thinking about distance to Stevenson vs to Salem, would be about the same for many like me coming from the North if i could go,,,,,,,, if you come from the east side am guessing another hour.....Stevenson to Vancouver 205 about 40 min. Columbia River crossing to Salem 20-30 min. eliz

Thank you I just sent them a messages. We would like older ones in the 14-16 week old area if you had that age I would probably jump on getting your Marans they are so cute! Thank you for your response.

Well, I went back exactly 2 pages, unable to go back to my last post, it was eons ago.
We have been working our tails off.
Yesterday we completely tore off all the plastic on the green house & all the wood holding it down, and redid it with the 'Solar Maxx' I ordered....It is now DONE and looks great !

And man was it ever hot in there !


Nice & clear !!!!!!!! The old stuff was just heavy construction type plastic & was super brittle and cracking apart & smoky-like.
New stuff lets in so much more light & is 10 mil thick & reinforced with strings throughout, very pliable & strong.

Now it is coop cleaning day....................and building a seperate run/shelter for mr Peeps the Tom turkey, I do not want him in the same pasture as the broody hens, which should have pips next Tuesday !

So we have to go pound T-Posts in & rig Mr Peeps up a corner for his own self.

Y'all have a happy sunny Sunday !

This will be farewell from Stevenson. Seems either we survived the banquet or the banquet survived us. SO FAR but we ain't outta town yet!

Hey, was great meeting you and your wife.....That was a nice set up of your works....My new chick resides on the table near the puter. (Bruce hasn't seen his new present yet, will let you know ....We did have good weather to remember Stevenson by....Am guessing the next show will be at the fairgrounds???? not quite as nice and intimate but has other possibilities. Wonder where? there..... eliz

I know where I was, I just have no time to catch up on all YOUR posts !!

Hope you are all getting plenty of Vitamin D.................and no sun burn !
DH did get a scarlet cast over back & shoulders yesterday, but he is lucky he tans so well.
By mid next month he will look very Italian.
His Dad says they are mainly Danish.......really tans nicely !
For being half full blooded Italian (and half Scot) I have a hard time tanning.....and a hard time in any weather over 75 degrees.
HAVE FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know everyone is probably not home yet, but just thought I'd toss this out. I have a broody - but we incubate all our eggs (too much predation on the chicks, and right now, no Roo), so if anyone wants her (free) I'd be happy. Hubby has to keep tossing her out of the nest and she gets really mad at him.

She's just a mutt - BLRW x White crested Black Polish, so she's all black with a small crest. When she was laying, it was regular, and a decent sized egg.

PM me if interested.

I looked it up this morning and in total, it would be 420 miles each way, so about 100 miles each way more than Stevenson for us

Spent all day yesterday at the Spring fair to come home and find most of the chickens have figured out how to get out of their brooder... Need to come up with a plan B.

Oh and I aquired a bunny that needs a home (I bought it from a guy who wanted to eat it

) So it's up for adoption.
