Augusta Maine swap-Saturdays Oct 15th & 22nd

[Orcae]

Will anyone be there with a white silkie pullet, that's old enough to tell for sure that its a pullet??

I'm ready for the swap.
made chocolate brownies to sell and bringing a pumpkin pudding pie for one door prize. I believe there is a 2nd item coming as well.
of course I will bring some of my new pendants and some stained glass items, oh and a few chickens too.

I jsut got a pm, the swapper that was bringing the other door prize is sick and won't make it tomorrow so if anyone else would like to bring some thing, great, if not then we still have pie.

I'll be there if it turns out to not be a nice day to send 7 roosters to their maker. I have some Christmas/Winter egg ornaments I'd like to sell.

those are really nice. I have to say, it was pretty windy, thankfully I dressed warm. seems everyone did pretty well dispite the wind. the door prize was won by a new swapper- Diane.

if it's green, then you have an easter egger not an amercauna. they lay blue eggs. oliver usually means it is crossed with a brown egg layer. still pretty eggs.
