here is the info for the Augusta Swaps. This will be the thread until the end of the year. Swaps are held that this location on the 4th Saturday AND last Saturday of each month (some months have a 4th and 5th Saturday so 2 swaps that month) Rain or shine.
These are held at the Augusta Tractor...
here is what I am bringing: young probably a pair of blue bibbed call ducks, silkies- paints 16 weeks old- I also have some recently hatch babies, silkies and sizzles, blues, whites, blacks (white may get spots later) that are too young to come to the swaps, blue laced red wyandottes 8 weeks...
hi all, I know it's been a awhile since I posted last. I am needing to sell down my flock as I am moving and starting over. I am staying in the area, but different house, one income make the need for less chickens and ducks. if anyone is interested in black or paint silkies, blue and black...
next swap is June 28th. 8:30-1.
due to a death in my family, I will not be at this swap. if anyone has any questions/issues, please contact Fran Hubert(blue pickup truck with cap)
thanks
