Got some photos of the show on my facebook.

Photobucket was acting weird and ridonkulous.

Hey all! Got my first Showgirl pair for my son, yesterday! He is thrilled with Gilgamesh and Penelope.

They are the sweetest things!!!

I just listed my pair of Lavender African geese. If anyone is interested, I am really looking to trade out of them. They came as a trio, but one of the girls was a Chinese, not African. I'm planning on keeping her. I love the Chinese's personality. The Africans are nice, but they don't want to sit in your lap and talk about their day! LOL!

If anyone is interested, pm me. Hopefully I'll get to make it to the next get-together. Sounds like everyone had a great time!

Made it home safe and had to get to moving as many birds inside as possible. DS lost his black split lav AM cockerel while we were gone.

Didn't hit anything on the trip today unlike Fri and Sat and it went much smoother going back through Bartlesville, so that was good.

Couple peeps I saw but didn't get to talk to and had to miss lunch because of showmanship. Got to visit with many of you again though and had a great time. Have to track Betsy down first thing at the next POOPs to see what she brought. I spent at least 4 hrs off and on stalking her sale cages to find out the owner of that black.

Chatted for a while when I caught her there, but didn't have a clue who she was until she unzipped her jacket. Beautiful birds!

TY so much Monty for getting me that stuff from Maribeth. Hope your son did well at his game.

Glad you got those birds out to your car Donnie. Did you end up having to tote them out one at a time? True meaning of Big and Beautiful! DS only has 5 pullets right now and they are going in to breed with the cockerel for hopefully some Jan and Feb hatches. The kids can't wait to go to their first POOPs and DS wants to bring some to sell.

for some chicks as nice as their parents.

DD ran around with my camera snapping pics all day Sat. Haven't looked at them yet, so can't say how they are or what all they are pics of.

Our final results from the show.....

DS got Jr RV AOSB, BB and BV with his Black Ameraucana cockerel and he was moved to Champion Row!

His blue pullet took RB and BV. So he swept the Jrs for Ameraucanas.

His two other black pullets got a 1 and a 2 and placed above the other black Ameraucanas.

His Sumatras got a 4 and a 5. Cage cards said too young and the judge prefers the yellow foot pads.


DD took a trio of blue Silkies. One of her pullets took RB and BV. Very pleased with the RB especially when you consider the competition. Those were some nice whites she was up against.

Her other pullet took RV and her cockerel got a 1.


Overall, very pleased.

The kids said they had a great time and that the people they met were all so nice. We can't wait to come back.
