. What's going on at Brown's?

There is also going to be a swap in Benton, AR. At the Closed Gas Station, Next to Brown's Restaurant. This Saturday, April 12, 2014 at 11:00 am.

"Our first swap of the year. Bring your birds, eggs, and whatever else you want to bring. Derenda Garrett will be on the premises and will be testing all birds over 3 mos old. Cost of testing will be .75 per bird this year due to the cost increase for testing supplies. I'm hoping for a good turnout with lots of friends and fun so mark your calendar."

draye,

I so appreciate you keeping us up to date on local going ons. I wish you were more toward the west/northwest side of the state so you would post something close to me. I enjoyed browns last year but it is a 2 hour drive.

You're welcome. Maybe some day something will come up your way, I have kinfolk around the Batesville area, Cushman.

@ChickEeeDee I think I'm a little further than you into it... a month longer maybe? I have 4 rabbits, 2 ducks, 2 dogs, 4 quail, and 6 more ducks on the way (I only plan on keeping 2 though) then I want 3-4 silkies for my birthday and eventually 2 goats. Two of our rabbits also should be pregnant so more little rabbits next month, then when the quail start laying we will hatch them out too!

Wow!!!! I'm a major newb compared to you! LOL we have 3 dogs, 1 cat, 3 boys (they count as animals!!! Ha ha), and January 31 I saw that TSC had chicks & ducks & the following day the hubby said I could get some chicks (2 barred rocks & 4 brown/white... Not sure of the breed yet). My heart was stuck on getting ducks but the supply of chicks were going quicker.... Less than a week later I went back for my two ducks (they are looking like they'll be pekings)

I love my little funny farm!!! I'd love to grow it in a few years with maybe a few goats or a dairy cow... But I need to take it slow so not to overwhelm the hubby! He he he

Haha nah! We live on 1/3 of an acre. I'm wanting silkies, I'm partial to the white ones =) I know what you mean about overwhelming the hubby... but my husband knows once I"m pregnant there is no saying no to raising organic food for our baby!
