It was sure nice to meet some UOC members. There is lots of interest in the black and blue Orpingtons. A few people asked to get whites to.
I was able to talk with John Livingston for quite a long while and was nice to put a face to his name. Good luck with the girls!!!

For several weeks I went back and forth on whether to go to the WFFS. most of the time I landed on the side of not going. A five hour round trip just seemed more than what I wanted to do, knowing I would only stay an hour and a half at the most. That all went away when I found out that I would be going for a much more important reason than to see my first chicken show (other than walking through our poultry barn at the state fair a couple decades ago)  During a phone call to Christina I quickly decided to go pick up some very very special chickens and the show became a secondary benefit.  When we (we being my grandson and I) woke up Saturday morning at 5AM we soon discovered that a heavy fog had moved in and it was below freezing!! From Salem, Oregon through Vancouver, Wash it was fog, slick and cold..so cold in fact that the temp gauge did not get off cold unless I shut off the heater. Any other time I would have said the heck with this but I was going to pickup something I had waited 3 years for..White Orpingtons! Now I could have gotten eggs from others (maybe) but I wanted my Whites to come from Christina, WOW oh WOW was it ever worth the time and trip.  Little did I know what would really happen though. I was picking up one breeding pair of Whites + one cuckoo pullet, so I put in the van one medium pet carrier and one small carrier. By the time I started home I had at total of 7 (yes seven) chickens  That was where the real fun started....we managed to get them all in the carriers but it was not long after leaving that, we knew that was not going to work. So as we are driving down the freeway my grandson got in the back and took two of the chickens out and let them loose in the van. low and behold they stayed next to the two carriers, from time to time hopping up on one or the other carrier too see out the windows or just stretch there heads up to look out..there was a few times I thought those driving next to us where going to wreck due to shock at seeing those loose chickens looking at them. that alone made the trip worth it.. that was until I started to think about where I was going to put these chickens, I had no real room for those that I planed to get let alone the others. When I got home I jury rigged a safe place for them and decided to wait until Monday to redo most of my pens (all made out of chain link fence panels I ended up with a pair of Whites, two black hens, a pair of Blues and one cuckoo hen. man what a trip and what a great great addition to my chickens. Thank You Thank You Christina oh and just so you understand THANK YOU ;D John PS I spent all day Monday redoing pen's so the pictures will come later |
