post #1611 of 2979

not sure if anyone's posted, but the Christiansburg TSC is having a swap this coming saturday, March 3 starting at 9am.

 

I'll be there with some assorted extras...

Karen - k.i.forgot (it's a ham thing...)
Welcome to the Zoo!  2 Morgans, 2 Minis, 1 Standard Poodle, 3 cats, 3 pet birds and the chickens.

Dorkings and bantam Cochins mostly, with a few others here and there.

And of course, my wonderful Hubby, who puts up with me and keeps me in check when I start to get crazy.

Thanks!

 

Oh - also - does anyone have comfrey that they'd be willing to divide for me?  I am looking to exchange some gardening or cook books or hatching eggs, just barnyard mix or Easter Egger, for comfrey plants in trade.



I  have a friend in Amelia that processes them themselves..

Started out with 12 chickens: 6 Red Stars, 6 Easter Eggers, we have 3 Reds & 6 EEers left

Our family had four beloved Pekin ducks who got attacked by a neighbor's dogs :(

 

We now have about 14 chickens-Barred Rocks (AWESOME BIRDS), EEs, Red Stars.

We also have 6 beautiful Mallard ducks- 2 boys and 4 girls :)

I just joined BYC. I'm in Fauquier County. Been raising chickens for 30 years now. Currently have barred rocks, Salmon Favs, and Americanas. In March I'm getting NH Reds and Silver Wyandottes, both of which are new to me. I'm also hatching some of my own eggs.

Thanks for the recommendation.  That looks like about 3 hours from me.  Does anyone know of anyone processing in western Virginia? 

Thanks!

I just took the egg turner out of one incubator and my daughter is loading up the other with favarolle eggs. She's determined to have a larger flock to choose from this summer, for her fair entries. Otherwise, I'd stop incubating for now...I started back in December, and I'm glad I did, because my two blue eggers have stopped laying (or have turned into the best egg hiders ever). I have chicks coming from the hatchery AND the incubator hatching w/in the same three days. Bad planning there...I am going to spend next week shifting flocks of different ages around to make room

I'll go look EOs up; never heard of them before!

Just went and looked up EOs. We had a Basque exchange student last year (she was a good sport about being out in the country instead of in a more populated place!) and so I looked up Basque livestock. The Basques saved a lot of breeds from extinction. So the EOs look very interesting!

Hello Virginia!

I'm in Arlington- where we can't even have backyard chickens yet! I'm involved with a group called The Arlington Egg Project that is working to have the county ordinances modified to allow a limited number of backyard hens. Wish us luck!
