Tyngsboro ma chicken swap 6/23

[FeelingSouthern]

I was just wondering how much you guys would think Orpington's and Silkies will go for? I don't know how much I'm going to be able to have for Sunday.

Unfortunately I don't think were going to make it. My sister in law is in the hospital and hubby and I are going to see her . If anyone is willing to stop by my place to pick up the items that was supposed to be for raffle tickets free tomorrow that would be grateful

Were on our way to drop off items

I wasn't sure what to expect at my first poultry swap, but I thought there would be a lot more people. I swung by early and there was almost no one there and no one was set up. Drove by almost an hour later and still no one. Perhaps I should have gone later.

Maybe next time. If anyone knows of any future swaps or fairs near the MA/NH border let me know; I would like to attend. I'm already thinking about going to Topsfield in the fall.

It's too hot today. All my birds are hiding in the shade.

I do have some Faverolles pullets available if anyone is interested.

Sorry I arrived a bit late as I have a very long drive and lots of animals to feed before leaving. I sold most of what I brought. ANd was still selling at 12:30. WHat time did you arrive??

I have plenty more birds to bring for a July sale . . .. my car is very shady and has the benefit of AC which my birds at home do not. I propose that if we want to keep buyers coming we need to keep to a schedule and not keep cancelling. If we can keep to a schedule we should be able to develop a steady clientel. I was busy non stop from the moment I arrived until I left.

Understandable. I wish I had come later, but I was there bright and early at 9 a.m. I stuck around for about 20 minutes and two people started to set up. I drove by again just before 10, but there didn't look like anyone else was there so I headed home. Although I wasn't 100 percent in the market for more chickens, I'm sure I could have been persuaded to take a couple of young silkies home if anyone had any. Since I've seen so few chicken breeds in person, I would have loved to have seen what everyone else had to offer too.
