I'll be attending the swap as a seller. I hope I can resist buying anything! I'm almost 8 months pregnant and I'm trying to get my animal numbers down to a reasonable number before the baby's born.

I'll be bringing:

Welsummer pair- $25
Roo is 18 months old and a great rooster, he's never made any agressive moves to a child or adult, even when I'm chasing his hens around. The pullet is point-of-lay.

Started chicks - 4-8 weeks old at time of the swap and off the heat lamp, broody raised - $3-$5 each (known cockrels free)
Mostly mixed-breds standards, pullets will lay med/dark brown or olive eggs. I have some Standard-sized frizzled chicks, some bantam OEGB/Serama mixes and some others I haven't decided on, yet.

Possibly some Silkie and Showgirl cockrels if I can figure out which are cockrels by the time of the swap.

Hovabator 1582 still-air incubator - $100
Includes: incubator, auto turner with 46 chicken egg cups, 120 quail egg cups, extra wafer thermostat and bottom liner for hatching. It's clean, sanitized and works great, but I won't be hatching for a while seeing as I'm 8 months pregnant and my husband has threatened to leave me if I hatch any more chicks!

Holland Lop rabbits - 5 month old does and bucks - some breeding pairs
$15 doe
$10 buck
$25 pair

My Holland Lops are pedigreed and my breeding stock is ARBA registered. Although I've never shown them, they come from breeders that have shown on a National level. The prices listed are pet prices, but pedigrees are available on some of the rabbits for an additional $25 per rabbit, if anyone is interested.

Tomorrow!!!! Looking forward to it and the response locally has been great. Hope to see everyone out there tomorrow. It is going to be a beautiful day with the leaves changing colors and a cool temp in the 40's.
