The few that I have hatched are coming out looking nothing like Magpies. I'll have to take a pic in the am. The last one I still have. He is gray with a white ring around his neck. I bought some a few years ago and I'm pretty sure they weren't pure magpies. They looked good but I didn't have...
I'm still here. Haven't checked in in a while. I have been down sizing just due to lack of time. I went back to work in October and I actually got 2 jobs so I'm working 7 days a week.
I still have about 30-40 chickens. I got some Jersey Giants from TSC this spring. There were supposed to be all...
Due to lack of people available to come we didn't have it in the spring and summer was very busy. If there is interest we could have one this fall, in not We will try again for next spring. I'm still willing to have it at our place. :D
Postponed Chickenstock due to lack of attendance.. Will try again late June maybe July?
If you have suggestions on what weekend more peeps would be available please let me know. It is so much fun to reconnect with everyone. Putting faces with screen names. Hope we can find a date that works...
This year turn out is turning out to not be very good. Thinking about either cancelling it all together or seeing if we want to try to do it later in the year like during summer and maybe more peeps could come? Thoughts?
I'm hosting Chickenstock this year. If someone is interested in your remaining chickens I can keep them here and they can pick them up when they come for the picnic.
Oh Jesus what an afternoon.... My son somehow forgot to close our door and as soon as our dog Stella realized it was open she jumped the gate to our back room and was out the door!! I put on the first pair of boots that I came to and ran out of the house. She ran right for the chickens and...
I will be hosting this year.:frow
I live in DeRuyter... To give you some idea where that is.... It is just South of Cazenovia in the most south west corner of Madison County... It is about 40 minutes south east of Syracuse, about 35 minutes north of Cortland.... an hour west of Utica, 2 Hours...
It is a day where all of us N.Y. peeps can get together. We bring a dish to pass and something to donate for the raffle. Some peeps bring chicks/ chickens to sell or other items such as started plants or trees. It is usually a great time to put faces with screen names and talk to other people...
Oh and I was in the TSC in Oneida and I ended up getting a bunch of chicks for $0.25! I should have bought more, but I didn't want to get stuck with them.They tried to sell me some ducks 6 for $1.00, but they weren't my breed so I passed... Now if they ever carried my Magpies I would clean them out
So since it is March and all I figured I needed to get my act in gear and start talking more about Chickenstock!!!
Now I didn't hear back from too many of you so I'll ask again. I was thinking either May 4 or May 18th... I'm free anytime. We could do it the 11th too, but being that it is...
Talking about the picnic.... I have offered to host it at my place this year. If anyone else really wants to host speak up now, if not.....
Time to start thinking about it!!:celebrate.... I was thinking about either the 4th or the 18th. (The 11th is Mother's day weekend and the 25th is Memorial...
