If anyone from Northern California, particularly the Bay Area, is going to the show in Fresno and would be willing to transport 3 fluffy hitchhikers, please let me know! I have 3 bantam cochins that need a ride to their new caretakers down south. Happy to chip in for gas money! Thanks
Walt has a line of groupies a mile long just waiting to wash his birds for the show in hopes of getting some pointers on their own birds...Walt is like a rock star of the poultry world! :D

We missed you yesterday Shannon - the party was lots of fun! I took a day off from my diet and pigged out!!! I hope that your shower was fun, and that whatever you did for your birthday was fun as well. Happy birthday!
Oh - guess who won the coupon for your eggs in the raffle?
Hey Shannon - when you get back from your honeymoon I need a website for my breeds! Oh - and who had "June" in the poll from Stockton for when I would get the Hamburgs?
Does anyone on this thread raise ostriches or emus, or know anyone that does? I have a brand new, never opened bag of King Ratite feed that I would be happy to offer up in exchange for a few fabulous ratite feathers that my kittens can play with. Thanks!

Sarah, I have 5 of the goofiest looking silver laced polish chicks (3 weeks old) in my brooder right now - they are hatchery stock but I think they are just a hoot! Looks like 3 boys (major funky hairdos) & 2 girls but I'll send a picture and you can tell me if I am even close. I...
