I should be able to make it.

I got my birds bloodtested for Avian Influenza and Pollorum Thyphoid so I can bring copies for anyone thats interested in birds. I'll have silkies for sale because I'm cutting down on the varieties I show. I don't like the idea of college so far...

thanks erin. i got it. my site is my byc pages. you can use it for mine . i can pm it to you when i get home. are the flyers ready? i did not get a chance to check yet. if they are ill start wed putting them out. thanks

 

[Msbear]

yup. I posted a link on the first post

Thanks so much! Everyone else, PLEASE do the same. This is the way to a successful event is by getting word out. If your local feed store, gas station, hardware store doesn't have this flyer on their window/bulletin, you're not doing enough. This is a COMMUNITY EVENT ..not an Erin event

This flyer looks AWESOME printed out on glossy photo paper. You can buy the cheapest, thinnest, lowest quality photo paper and it still looks high quality and professional.

right click this one and print http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af356/msbear33/chickenstock-fallstock.jpg

I added the flyer to my FB page. I can post one at the Jeff Co Fair if no one else is.

Erin-loving the quail. Will you have some more girls? How hard are they to hatch? Thinking I could deal w/them better than chickens...much faster turnaround and shorter grow out time!

 

[Msbear]

Are they laying yet? I thought they were getting pretty close. Quail are awesome!!! Start hatching now and you'll have good breeders by fall... that's how fast. I have 70 eggs in the bator now

 

[Orpygal]

Yup, they've been laying over a week now. The eggs are HUGE in comparison to the birds I think. The male I really don't like killed the one I really did. darn birds. Hubby working too much OT to get a larger pen built for me so I have to stick w/3 for awhile. What kind of pen do you have? I really want to put them on the ground but am not sure.

 

[Msbear]

I've never had them outside. I just get the eggs online and hatch and sell. I am planning on keeping some of these because I will finally have the room. I want them for eggs and meat. I always plan on slaughtering them ... then wind up selling them as I just don't want to mess

BUT, I did kill 3 cornish crosses this year and processed them myself so I definitely think I can.. they're just so dern cute

 

[Soaring Chicks]

ok i printed 6 flyers off for now and will get them posted. i'll print some later and just pass them out to people that ask me about chickens.
hope my girls start laying good or i might have to buy some eggs of the other colors and breeds i'v had a eye on. so what if i "opps" and keep a pair or 2? how is everyone else getting along?

fix spelling
