About me:
I am an avid poultry enthusiast. I have been keeping poultry for over 30 years. In my teens I exhibited at the local level, and I often sell birds to local 4-Hrs and FFA. I pride myself in providing my birds with a comfortable and humane home. I allow my flock to free range (except when penned for breeding purposes or when a hawk is lurking.) in my 2 1/2 acre fully fenced yard. At night, all of my birds are snugly locked up at night as we have a lot of predators: Mountain Lions, Bobcat, Fox, Coyote, Raccoon, etc. I do not trap or hunt predators, I consider it my duty to provide my birds with secure pens.

I also raise Pedigreed rabbits:
Mini Rex in Tricolor, Lilac, blue, Blk/Blue Otter, Opal, some other colors (Some litters have surprises!) Lionheads -
Jersey Woolies: Tortoise, Blue (SQ, Champion stock)

Miniature Cheviot Sheep
I currently have a small flock or resitered Mini Cheviot sheep. This is a small and economical breed for the backyard flock. Fleece is of good quality, used to make clothing worn next to the skin.

Side Swap Items: ​

(These Items Below are available for Side Swaps Only!!!!)
​
Nordicware Stadium Pan - Never Used it Nordicware Car Cakelet Pans - Never Used it




This dog carrier shoulder bag would have to be swapped for a pretty valuable item, such as SQ Black silkies, or something really rare and/or in large quantities. I bought this bag to carry my puppy in, and she outgrew it in no time. I paid well over $200 at a dog boutique and it is of uncommonly good construction and quality. The zippers are easy to work, heavy duty. It has a side compartments for wipes, etc. A double zippered flap top opening, a 3 way opening on the end that allows you to leave it open for your dog to stick its head out, or a mesh cover so it can see out, but not stick its head out, or a denim cover to disguise that you have a dog in your bag. The bottom has grommeted ventillation holes. This bag is good for dogs probably 11-12 lbs and under. Its on the large side for a shouldre bag carrier, in barely used shape.





Things I would be interested in side-swapping for:
​
