PPBA Stockton Show

[pacificpikachu]

The chicken show was fantastic, and so much fun! Thousands of gorgeous and interesting birds, ahhh! *A* I spent so many hours just walking up and down the rows of cages looking at all the birds. So amazing! And it was great getting to talk chickens with people who understand the love of poutry. There were so many people who understood how chickens begin taking over your life, hahaha. I made some new friends, met up with the mother and son who sold me my seramas and spent quite a bit of time talking to them, and had some nice conversations with people from BackYard Chickens. ♥ I'll post the pictures I took later once I upload them.

The sales room was particularly enticing. There were several hundred birds in there, including fancy ducks, swans, geese, peafowl, different varieties of pigeons and doves, and of course tons of chickens. My limit of how many chickens to buy...er...didn't go so well. XD But that's okay, two are going to new homes, and I'm very happy with my purchases. I ended up bringing home:

- 1 silver spangled hamburg
- 1 splash old english game bantam
- 1 red brown old english game bantam
- 2 blue red old english game bantam (one might go to Bev)
- 1 porcelain d'uccle
- 1 splash silkie (for Bev)
- 2 bantam silver phoenixes

They're really gorgeous! I'll post pictures of them once I take some. :D I also bought a really nice chicken pen (about 6' long x 4' wide x 5' tall) for only $30. I'm planning on expanding my chicken coop soon so there will be plenty of room for everyone. My coop is actually below capacity so it's fine anyway, but I want everyone to have more room than necessary.

Anyway, yeah, I loved the show. It was a great time! Look forward to pictures! ♥
