    A quick re-cap of the results of the date change..... Approx. 80 folks showed up on short notice in 50 + vehicles. We still managed to fill two dumpsters, share a short-notice event at the Pic, sharing space with Jersey Crew and their benefit event, and salvage the day. Many folks were truly...

A few...

    Who knows about chickens?

    Try this link..... believe it or not, there is mail order for chicks. You'll need to pen them and offer nesting boxes for protection until they are familiar with their roosting spot. http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/index.html Some of my neighbors have used this company and been real happy...
