I know I always check in and lurk at the swaps. My swapping has slowed to a halt lately also due to shipping costs. And I've been concentrating on selling my silkie and sizzle eggs. I'll be starting my winter hatching soon and want to sell what I can before Id get started. I also want DH to build a juvie pen for them to stay in over the winter. I'm planning to hold a Chickenstock at my house in the spring. I'm shooting for June. I'f rather have my birds go to people that I know will take care of them instead of to the auction where they usually go. Those people don't truley appreciate the beauty of chickens. They're mostly interested in meat and eggs.
