Quote: The little Gansette is doing awesome, he has intergrated right in with the slates with no issues at all. he/she has buddied up with the smaller slate and they hang out together constantly. Course after the attack on the slates last week no one stays out at night anymore, lol you...

Gypsy, how is your new baby turkey doing? Who was it that adopted my two Button Quail boys? They must be loving their new girls! We managed to go home with LESS animals than we brought, which was nice! DH would have killed me if I bought another critter.

Quote: I for one would love it if Keene has a monthly swap. It's definitely easier on my family to do local. We'll still do Milford i think, but we have not managed any that are more distant. I second that!

Quote: That is true... Keene has different weather than us up here in the hills of Troy. I've been in Keene many times and it's raining a bit, then head home to find it's snowing hard after I pass the ledges and come into Troy (in winter, not summer!). No snow here right now, so maybe no rain...

The rain's coming down harder and steady again now.

We're about 10 min or so south of keene, and it was pouring out when I woke up at 5 this morning (and it was pouring when I went to bed last nite). It looks like it's light rain now and slowing down. I hope it stops soon... both for this swap that I've been waiting patiently for and because I...

Gypsy, I'm going to bring my 8 week old SF babies and their mom to the swap so you can see them. I brought some of the babies in to the library where I work and they were a big hit with the kids ... and the adults, too. The week before I had turkey poults there and we hatched some of my...

Quote: There's also Laurel Lake in Fitzwilliam up past the Fitzwilliam Depot store that is supposed to be good fishing. I really need to get off my butt and get my fishing/hunting license for this year!

Quote: Do you need cockerels to go with those pullets? I will be bringing some Bantam Dominique cockerels of various ages... all fully feathered out. I breed to standard for show and for temperament. All my Dom boys are sweet and take good care of their hens. Lily are you going to have Nari's...

Poyo'sMama : Quote: Abby, I'll take those 2 Dominques! That's a breed I don't have:weee Thanks for saving me that choc. mint, I've got plans for that...and a couple as gifts;) Do you need cockerels to go with those pullets? I will be bringing some Bantam Dominique cockerels of various...

Quote: I'm not sure?? What does everyone else think? I say go for it. And if anyone has German Shepherd Dog puppies... bring them too! I want one!

Quote: we didn't check with anyone when we got the chickens & ducks, since all the neighbors thought they were great (no rooster either). we asked about the horse, and they said since we have 2 acres, we can just say we always had horses here and we'd be grandfathered in (even though we...

Quote: I grew up in Springfield and had chickens when I lived there, too. When I was 12 my grandfather bought me 6 black star chicks & 2 pekin ducklings. The little playhouse he had made us when we were little became the chicken coop. A couple years later I added a HORSE to my little farm! It...

Quote: I have to agree with Gypsy here. It would be nice to have all NPIP certified sellers, but many folks just can't afford the fees right now or are 'flying under the radar" as was mentioned earlier. Shows and fairs require certification, but most of the swaps I've been to don't require it...

Quote: Let me know if they're charging. I was paying at least $70 to have them test my 50 or so birds, but the last two years it was great that the testing was free. Maybe if a few of us in the same area could get tested the same day, we could save some money, since a lot of the charge is for...

Rhett&SarahsMom : "At the Keene Swap...I'll be posting on craigslist, newspapers that all sellers/swappers should have their flock documentation with them for the swap. " I think this will cause some folks not to bring what they have to swap. I cant imagine that everyone thinking of bringing...

Quote: someone needs a new job! what day is better sat or sun? Sundays definitely work better for me. I did end up getting this Sat off so I can go to the Lambing Clinic. My boss actually changed her plans for me... I have an awesome boss (and I do totally love my job... just kind of a pain...

So much for making the swap in June ... my co-worker requested that day off so I have to work 10-3. I was SO excited about going to it too. Can't get March 21st off for the Milford swap either. And just found out that I probably can't get this saturday off to go to a Lambing Clinic that I'm...

Us too! It's great to have an event less than 10 minutes from home. All of the poultry shows & swaps we go to are at least an hour or more away! Quote:

Did you see the Carlton Bridge near Monadnock High School (the one that heads down toward Rte 10)? Ron & I went over it coming back from Cheshire Horse & noticed that someone had smashed out the top corner of the entrance. They must have tried to drive through with a truck or something that was...
