[rabbitsrule]

thanks so much. Looking forward to it. Its all going to come down to just how hot its going to get. Will have some chicks, some rabbits, some guinea pigs and a pair of diamond doves. Hoping to make it.

I will be attending with one or two of my lovely daughters. I will be bringing chicks from my rarest of the rare 25 batch of mcmurray's hatchery chicks, they will be 5 wks old on swap day. I have spent quite a bit of time with them so they are freindly (except for a few standoffish ones). I think i have arauconas, Brahams, langshans, wyandottes, silver penciled rocks, cochins, a w.f. spanish, silver lakenvelders and hamburg and 3 brown unidentified ones, The brown ones have feet feathered on outside, single comb, dark legs. The hardest part is deciding which breeds to keep and which ones to sell as i have gotten too attached to them already. But I can't keep that many so I have to find homes for them. Cheryl, 203-631-6663 contact me if you have any questions.

I don't have much to sell, so I may just have to come look around.
everything I have is really young so I'd rather it get a bit of age before bringing out in public (willing to sell from here).
I have 3 light sussex (probably 1+2 for sexes), 2 columbian wyandottes and holding off on the marans and silkies just yet.
I need one more great looking (young) silkie or will buy hatching eggs.

I just returned home from this swap.

I sold three chicks and a trio that was there to be picked up.

I had four adult bantam cochin hens there - a blue, a buff and two brown reds - they did not sell.

Guess it was not a day for BYC type buyers???
