If Kelly decides not to have the swap at her house because of her sick babies, I understand totally. Their health is more important. There is the other swap in Jacksonville at Christy's that is scheduled for the same day. Maybe we can have it there this month instead of Kelly's. Would take some pressure off of Kelly too!
Well if you guys need a place to have it this month let me know we can do it at my place in ocala. We can have it down at the barn. We call it the boar's nest after the duke's of hazzard. We have redone part of the inside of the barn. We have a kitchen, bar,pool table, bathroom etc. I have plenty of room just need to know ahead of time if you guys want to hold it there or not. So I can make sure to come up that weekend.

An old friend of my dad's use to live on the farm for a while. He decided to remodel the inside one year. He had people give him all kinds of decorations for it. It looks great they even made him a sign for the outside that says Boar's Nest. He was so pround of that place. Sadly he died about 6 year's ago of a heart attack. But we keep his cowboy hat and stuff on display.
Roger always loved a party so a chicken swap would be up his alley. He was the one to get my daughter her first chicken. He ask her once when she was real little what she wanted santa to bring her. She said a spotted chicken he said let me see if I can get a hold of santa for you. So come christmas day she had a barred rock hen said Santa left it at the barn for her.
That could be interesting. We could probably pick up people further south that werent able to make Gainesville...not that Gainesville is that much further, but if your driving an hour or 2, another hour could make or break. Should there be make a new thread so we can make that announcement?
If everyone wants to pass on the swap this month that is fine. Maybe they can just go to the northern one in Jacksonville? I can host one later at my place. I haven't heard from anyone about it.
I would love to come but that's a drive for me. I drive up from Fort Lauderdale on friday evenings to Ocala and then to drive up to Jacksonville on saturday would be a lot for me then have to drive back down to Fort Lauderdale sunday. I'd need a vacation!
