Gower's Feed Eastern Panhandle ChIcKeNsToCk Sat. July 9th Ranson, WV

I'll be there with bells on

I put up the billboard sign last week but haven't had much time to advertise online. Feel free to post a few ads this week to drum up some more business. I've been getting emails at least once a day and a few phone calls but haven't had much action on the website. I think it will be the same as TSC

Let's hope, lol. I do remember you being worried that no one would show up at TSC this spring. I sold out as did some others.

your right, Tammy. I think everyone knows when it is and that's that. I ran into a few poultry people getting feed the other day and mentioned it and they said, "we know. we'll be there"

we will be coming up on saturday. i too was wandering why the topic sort of died out for a few days. we are looking for a couple young layers to add to our small flock of 5 pullets. we want something to start laying for us. not real particular on breed as long as they get along with the ones we have!

We'll be there. We've been getting everything cleaned and ready to bring. Tomorrow is our "dry-run" to Ranson, WV to know exactly where we're going. Don't want to get lost and be late for setting up. See everyone there. Slkymom1-4 & Husband

I'm making the two hour drive hoping to find a couple nice birds. I hope I can get there by the time the selling starts.

I am worried also. We won't be setting up but I want everyone else to have a great turnout! It is important to the WV folks to be able to keep some events in WV. Getting our State Vets office to come AI every time we want to go accross state lines is a hardship.

I will be going to Gowers and setting up but feel the same way. For those of us WVers that don't want to be NPIP yet, going across state lines isn't possible if we want to stay legal. I'm not against our wonderful MD swaps, but maybe we could space the swaps better so turnout would be good for all.​

Anyone bringing anything besides what's on 'the list'

I always have money burning a hole in my pocket for new NPIPed Chickens.

We are trying to figure out a good schedule. I wanted this swap to be more than a month after but, with things cooking like they are... no one wanted to be standing out there in August and it just seemed better to hurry it up and do it at the end of chick season.

A spring swap at TSC, late spring/summer at Green Hill Farm and a fall at Gower's seems like a good option for next year.
