« on: October 12, 2014, 09:55:46 AM »
Jeff has went through all the chickens for himself and all the 4 H projects, now we need to know if anyone on the forum knows where we can get chickens processed? We have an over abundance of roosters and we are afraid to try it our selves this year, Jeff's lungs are still not in good shape and fell that we should not do it this yr. we want to know if there is someplace o
In Ohio, WV, Va, or NC would even work for us. I have trying calling all over WV and can't find anyone that will process the chickens for us, don't know anywhere else to call here at home. If anyone has any info that will help me, please share. Thanks in advance. Cheryl

Paul,
Jeff and I have discussed the next national meet, and where ever you decide we will plan on being there! hopefully with plenty of chickens. Had such a great time. We figure this will be our vacation every year from now on.

Exhibiting & Promoting / Lucasville Meet

Sharon,
We were very pleased and impressed with the way you handled things at Lucasville. Everything went smooth at a spectators view, everyone seemed pleased with how things went!! It was great each evening to be able to sit down and eat supper among friends and talk chickens. It was a pleasure for me to see Jeff relaxed and be able to be stress free form things at home, and clear his mind about work! It was so good to put faces with names and actually get to see everyone. I must say there are some really nice folks in this chicken business.
We really enjoyed our visits and talks with Clif and Linda Redden as well as Paul and Angela Smith too, such wonderful folks. and we really enjoyed hanging out with Matthew Smith too. Paul and Angels have a wonderful young man to be very proud of. And also we can't forget to mention Christine and Will Kitch, very nice young man as well.
Jeff keeps talking about how beautiful the blue hen was that Max had and also about the black hen that Camille won with was very nice too. Russ Blair you touched Jeff's heart by being so nice to the young girl that was standing up front at the table hoping to win something.
Don't know if I have posted this in the right spot or not, but felt like I just needed to post!!!
After Jeff retires I am sure he will be on this sight constantly!
Once again, we really enjoyed the meet and all the great company.

John,
Please reconsider staying secretary/ treasurer. While you have been in there things have run so smoothly, never a problem. Jeff and I have belonged to many clubs in our years together, bass clubs, coonhunting clubs, 2 beed orginizations and this association. So far we feel that you are the best we have seen in all the clubs that we have belonged too. We really enjoy the bulletins and feel very secure that if we have a problem, we could contact you and the matter would be resolved in a timely manner. Jeff's dad Shorty enjoys the bulletin and our nephew Thomas does too. He is a junior member. Either Jeff or I have to pull up pics of brown reds every day for him to look at them. He is seriously becoming a member at the national meet. He thinks a lot of Mike Gilbert and you too John, for the way the bulletins are written and the information in them.
Sharon,
We are so sorry to see you go as our Eastern District Director! We are going to really miss you , you have been a wonderful friend and have welcomed us and our state as well as others that participate. We have no activities or meets at all in our state of W.V. Since we are eastern region we have accepted Ohio as our new home for all our activities. You are and have been a great asset to the Ameraucana Association. We are so very sad to see you step down. We have had the opportunity of meeting you and your family twice this year at your home and walked away with information that was very helpful to us in the Ameraucana aspect. We enjoyed our visits with you and we feel blessed to have had those opportunities. We have a friend for life.

The walls will be half wood half wire with doors to open in the summer time that is on the outer walls.
