Down here in Deming there is a Lady who has a donkey sanctuary, called "Lucy's Pasture".. She has a large number of donkeys.. She may adopt one out to you.. I don't know that for sure, but you might check with her if or when you decide you want one...

Welcome to BYC,and the New Mexico thread...

   Even beginners can contribute.. There are many, very knowledgable, chicken people here, but they follow the posts of newbies, same as veterans.. They will learn a new thing now and then also.. Nobody knows it all, that"s why it is so important to communicate with each other..

   I'm one of the worst, because I read a lot, but don"t post as much as I should...    Will        

Does anyone have or know of someone who has silkies?  In a perfect world, they would be female and in the SE part of the state..... ( I remember there was a gentleman I think in Abq who breeds them but iir, he only sells them in m/f pairs......)

Thanks!

Tikki  :)

I just found out the next Poultry Swap going on in Edgewood, NM (about half an hour east of Albuquerque) is at the end of the month! March 31st, it seems the swaps are always on the last Saturday of the Month.
