Oregon Spring Poultry Swap May 5, 2012 in Canby!!! - Page 101

wildrose41  and I had a wonderful time, Thanks to all who worked hard on the swap and all that came. Wildrose41 got herself two new RIR's to add to her three ladies. I was on the hunt for Nankin Bantams. whidbeylife4me had a breeding pair from Washington and 24 eggs. Thank you whidbeylife4me, I have them home and they are going great the roo is a real sweetie. Rocky Maley had a dozen Nankin eggs for me, and at the end of the day sent childrens FFA Nankin Bantams home with me to Roseburg so I could pass them on to the FFA in Roseburg. Great job Rocky Maley! I will be abal to add to that so the FFA and 4H in Roseburg, Oregon will each get a mixed flock of 12 Nankins each.

American Livestock Breeds Conservancy http://www.albc-usa.org/ "Founded in 1977, the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy is the pioneer organization in the U.S. working to conserve historic breeds and genetic diversity in livestock." List the Nankin Bantam as Critical on ALBC Conservation Priority List. I enjoy the Nankins for their loving ways, my flock likes to get up on my lap and eat out of out hands, or just just walk all over us, they are a joy to have.

PS Thank you all for taking my business cards and keeping your eyes and ears open for Nankin Bantams. God Bless All, Rod & Carol

So glad that worked out!  She seemed very dissapointed that you had left the swap already, I figured it was a done deal but you never know..........

I forget who was the lady at the booth with all of the paint silkies?

I am interested in maybe picking up a couple from her but

can't remember her name so I can't get ahold of her???? lol

Thanks

Hope everyone has good hatches! 

 

Oh, and for those who headed out early - you missed the most impressive bird at the swap! :D 

What did you guys come home with, and are they at your place or Rhonda's? :-)  PM me...

Please email me to with this info too. I bought a silkie from her and she wanted me to keep her updated on the gender and how it turns out but we got so busy packing up at the end we forgot to exchange info. 

Early results, ok guesses, on the chicks purchased:

5 SF from Jeanine:  at least 3 roos

5 Orp/Del mix from Zanna: at least 3 roos

1 EE from Zanna: too early to tell

So, out of 11 chicks at least six are roosters....grrr!  LOL!!
