I saw you!!! you were on the right side of the inside building! I almost came and talked to you but you were talking to another person. Did anyone see me? I was inside selling ducklings out of a purple pool.
Didn't I talk to you too? Were you the person who had the ducklings under the heat lamp that the sign said were from Holderread's? If so, I saw the ducklings!
I know I talked to *someone* at that table...
Got to meet a couple of BYCers that looked for me at my van outside! I sold out of the 1 1/2 week old and 2 1/2 week old Call ducklings I brought by 7:30am...I was glad to see people weren't too shy to ask to see them since they were keeping warm in my van. I still have the 6 week old and the 4 week old white couple of ducks left...my brain was still in bed when I left at 4am and I forgot to pack them up into the van! I also have 14 new ducklings that just hatched today and yesterday...have whites, black bibbeds and one or two spotted ones. This will be the last of my mixed color group; I plan on retaining everything I hatch after this until maturity or the end of the season to hopefully fill up my breeding pens.
There were lots of people to talk to! I was glad to see some fellow members of the Greater Chicago Caged Bird Club in attendance as well. I managed to pick up a portable pen at half price, and got a few other small goodies from a few other vendors. I think I may have hooked my friend's daughter into finally making a purchase of a large Moluccan cockatoo, which she has wanted for quite some time.
If anyone ever meets up with me at one of these swaps, you will find out I am quite a cheering squad to be with for anything you might want to buy.
I am gradually weakening her willpower for this bird and even have her hooked up with a nice big cage for it. So let's hope she finally caves in and buys this bird that she has wanted for a long time!
