Just found this thread, sorry for all the P.M.s!! Anyone going to have Australorps , buff Orps or any 'regular chicks'

?? Looking for dual purpose chicks or POL pullets that have all their feathers in the place they are supposed to be, and pointed in the right direction

!! Prefer non hatchery birds, looking for breeding flock birds mostly. Thanks . Hope to see you all there........stan

FL Mama.... (deb).... Yes on showgirl chicks. i havent kept up with this thread, and i would love some of them since mine arent making any.

Nava...plz tell me you're bringing some of their babies (the turkens). my son is so in love with that breed, and they are amazing.

I'm looking for some more turken babies, EE's young or laying as long as under a year old, silkies always..(esp if anyone has a laying pullet they can sell), 1 or 2 silver sebright hens, and lakenvelders or barnevelders.

what i'm bringing...
silkie chicks (my lines are bobbi porto and sunshine silkies). perfect feet/toes, really nice vaulted heads.
GLW chicks. these are selling like hotcakes around here...but i'm keeping some back for you guys. if my roo hadnt decided to break his toe, he'd be showing this year.
Redstar chicks.

really cool older chicks that are 3/4 silkie and 1/4 americana, so they should lay a green egg, but they are smooth hard feathered, with tufts on their heads like a polish. really cool, with personalities of a silkie. they are 3-4 months old.
also 3-4 months old, some redstar or RIR babies. cant really tell them apart. was silly to have them both hatch at once.

I do make coops/hutches. a 2 x 4 hutch made out of hardware cloth (raccoon proof) is 125, and a 3 x 6 is 200. a 3 x 6 will easily fit 4-5 adult silkies, and the 2 x 4 easily fits 3-4 sebrights. (to give you an idea how big they are.). i have a pic of one ive made. if interested, pm me. not bringing any unless A) someone stops by here with a truck to pick me up... (dad stole his for the week), or B) i gain super powers and fly there with one on my back

also bringing 11 to 12 inch square nexting boxes... 7.50 each. my birds love them, and they cant keep them in the feed store down here. was only going to bring 5, so if you want them, plz pm me so i know to make more.

OMG, i almost forgot, i gave annika 3 dozen light brama and 2 dozen Black australorp eggs to hatch, and they should be out just days prior to the swap. anyone interested in them? they'll be there.

also, we are looking for BLRW chicks or eggs.

I will be looking for more hatching eggs also. if you have some you're bringing plz pm me, and let me know price. (i dont have a ton of money) and maybe i can prepay them. i am getting just enough to barely fill my bator right now. and would like definately some EE's for egg color around here. brown is such a boring color lol.

how much for the silkies? colors? need more good quality around here. i've weeded out and ended up with 4 out of about 18 babies that i raised from newborn. so not good odds.
