Bummer I can't make it to the next one. But I plan on going to the one in April. I may have a last summer Narri jake and a bantam Dom cockerel to bring, but that's it right now. I'll probably be bringing some felting kits to sell... gnomes, chickens, sheep, rabbits, etc. They're really cute and...

Quote: Wow, that's a huge flock! We have about 15-20 come through every once in a while. They stop by to chat with our Narragansett turkeys. Do you raise GSDs or are you just a huge fan like we are? We've been looking for a pure GSD since we lost our awesome big guy Tucker last summer. Every...

Quote: Hi Dave, We're starting to collect our Dominique eggs for the incubator now, so we may have some chicks available by April. I am planning on going, so can bring a few to the swap if the hatch goes well. ~Lily

Quote: There's also a Tractor Supply in Southampton, MA which is not far off Interstate 91 (and not far from the Mass Pike too) ... about halfway between Northampton and Holyoke. That's a good central location for most of the western mass area.

Quote: Someone needs to set up a swap in the Greenfield, MA area for all the Western Mass & southern VT chicken people. That's only 40 min from us so we'd prolly go to that one too.

Quote: I'll have to see if I can get that day off and see if I have any parties booked. Off to change the date on my website now.

Ron & I had a great time, too. Picked up my gorgeous new Silver Fox doe and a pair of cute button quail from Gypsy. And we sold a pair of turkeys, and sold or rehomed all the chickens that we brought. They all went to good new homes and none into the stewpot, so I'm happy about that. There...

Are we all wearing nametags so we can recognize each other for those who haven't met in person yet? I'll try to remember to wear my Othala Acres hat, and one of us (DH most likely) will probably be wearing some kind of hunting camo.

Quote: Yay! It'll be fun. There are more and more people at each one. It's great to hang out at a big social event AND be around poultry and rabbits at the same time! How are the kits doing? Getting big I bet.

We'll be bringing a couple of our Dominique roosters. One is a 2 year old good breeding roo (named Roopert)... selling because I brought in some new blood and now have too many roos. The other roo (Frank) is three and has a tendon issue that makes his foot curl up when it's cold, so he's not...

Quote: LOVE the roo's doo! Looks like a poultry pompadour!

Quote: Are these show or breeder quality roos? Any pix? I'm looking for a good breeder quality or better blue Silkie roo to replace my GIGANTIC black Silkie roo. Andre the Giant is too big and he's such a wuss, I'm not sure he's breeding the hens anyway! My splash girls had him hiding in a...

Quote: LOL... sounds like my day today. We wormed all the birds and clipped all the turkey hens' wings (two of them flew up to the top of an apple tree before we could get them... but they came down after a bit when they saw food). After freshegg came and got her turkeys I went to work topping...

Quote: The tom does have a name... Canonchet. His dad is Canonicus ... they're named after two famous Narragansett chiefs. Our two oldest hens are Alawa (Algonquin for "pea", because as a poult she was a bit of a pea-brain. She definitely disproved that as an adult, since she's outlived all...

Quote: All the turkeys run together right now, and when they're out foraging, they mingle with the chickens no problem (our big BBW girl lives with the chickens because the poor thing can't keep up with the Narris because she's so fat). They should be fine together. Just keep an eye and make...

Quote: The tom is full size, 20 lbs or so, and the hen isn't yet full grown... maybe 10-12 lbs or so. A large dog crate/cage would be best if you have one. If you'd like, I can trim wing feathers on them so they won't try to fly up anywhere before they get used to their new home (I'd say at...

Quote: Correction on the turkeys (that's what I get for posting while multitasking with preschoolers.. DOH! ) ... $45 for the remaining pair and we may be bringing a young male or two for $20 each. The Dominique roos are $10 each (breeder/show quality) and a third is free to good home (really...

Quote: If that works for you it works for me Now the biggest issue is to get gram & gramp to watch the kiddies so DH and I can enjoy the swap and the meeting and not have to chase curious and active small children around constantly... I can't wait! It'll be fun and great to see all the...
