Chicken Swap April 4th Merrimack NH

[chickn]

this is all nice and all, but i am feeling ill, its 730 am and talk of eating mice, frozen or not is just too much.

lets talk chickens! they eat mice too if they can LOL so ya, that doesnt work

 

[gypsy2621]

yeah not an overly pleasant conversation to wake to lol.

good change of subject
got 15 scovie eggs and 9 sebbi eggs in 2 bators.

 

[chickn]

do ducks eat mice?

 

[gypsy2621]

usually scovies will eat anything they can chase down, but bugs are the prefered choice of proteins.

now guinia hens on the other hand.
edit to add , scovies do a number on mosquito eggs, larvea and adults

Usual start time is 9am, but people

like me, get there earlier to set up.
I got cookies, fudge, hot fudge sauce and some other goodies coming.
I wont have chicks, unless Twinlights is holding back on me until the April Milford event. Those I am just bringing and selling for her, if she gets a good hatch rate

 

[saddlefairy]

frizzles!!
what color are your silkies?

 

[twinlights]

No, not holding back on you!

I will hopefully

have a good hatch for the milford one. But, the girls are not co-operating right now. Hmmmm, they need to get laying quick!

The idea is to have some Mille Fluer d'Uccle, some white d'Uccle and some white rosecomb chicks. Also may throw in some EE just to make it worth my while. They will be sr.

 

[Rhett&SarahsMom]

I didnt think you were.
I think the weather is messing with them laying.
Warm one day, rainy and cool the next. BLECH!
