[High Roost Ranch]

OK, I've decided to make this one. It will be our one and only we'll do in FL before we move.

I have Serama roos listed on my website (http://www.highroostranch.com/forsale.htm) that I will bring if they haven't sold. Also a pair of Araucana bantams, the hen is direct from Ann Charles (on my website, if they don't sell before hand). Prices on website birds are on the page. I also have several XL brown eggers that I'll bring (only hens, please give them a good layer home, they'll produce well for you), one cute little araucana cross roo that needs new girlfriends (I sold his harem). 2 Bourbon Red turkey poults. Araucana chicks. Two 8 month old BBR Key West Gypsy Chicken pairs. A white dove (think it's a boy) and a harlequin american budgie (white with blue & black markings, he doesn't step up but if you pick him up he's a sweetie). Two muscovy drakes, one a black and one a loud blk/wh pied. Hatching eggs: From my bantam brahmas-dark, light & buff, depending on who lays, they are top quality brahmas, the buffs are our good show line (Champ Featherleggers), the lights and darks are direct Arbuckle & Rust. Bantam Araucana hatching eggs from our rumpless (except a double tufted hen) and some tufted flock. Modern bantam eggs from our show birds in Red Pyle, Black, Splash & Blue if they lay. And maybe call duck eggs from our calls if they lay any between now and Saturday morning. Serama eggs if I have any. Two bunnies-a REW Lionhead buck and a non-lopped mini lop girl. Both are pets. (Will maybe add more as I look at who's left).

I knew I forgot someone. Or several someones... I have BLR Wy bantams, overloaded with boys. They are of course in all shades, BLR, Splash, and in between. You have to take a splash in order to get a better marked boy, that's the catch.

And I have two black cochin bantam cockerels and one black cochin pullet. These are all coming on 4 months old.

Who's bringing Sillystunt's birthday cake?

Debra (Floridamama). I'm going to make a blueberry coffee cake and some banana bread. I do have some hotdogs and drinks and was also going to make some Sloppy Joes. Heather (Sillystunt) is bringing some dip I think. I think I have enough paper plates and plastic utensils. I'll set up a coffee maker for those who would like to have coffee. I have some foam cups too.

Would anyone be interested in very young sprouted Mimosa trees (Powderpuff Tree)?
They are a cold hardy variety. You can see one growing at the Dunnellon recycling center.

I can also bring young green pea plants. I like to copy the Indians and plant them next to corn so they can climb.

We are new to BYC and have been to 2-3 Swaps and had a blast.
I am looking forward to the Hilltop Swap as everyone has said it is the best.
I plan on bringing Coturnix Quail: Chicks fertile eggs and Adult breeders
I will have RIR and Easter Egger Chicks all females with a couple Roosters of each.
We have feather legged Wheaten chicks out of prize winning show stock
and #6-#8 eggs.
Also some Black Copper, Blue ,Splash and Cuckoo Maran Chicks.
If we have time I may bring some dressed quail to go with our own killer Barbeque Sause
Let me know if you want me to hold anything for you.
See ya there,

Can't wait!!

OK, the vital questions. How is this set up? Is it in a building, under cover, out in the sun, in a parking lot or on grass or ??? Should we bring our own table & chairs? Is it still a go if it rains? I'm going to show either way, as long as it won't be postponed. I've let excuses and weather keep me away before but won't this time. I'm trying to think of what I can bring. Not coming up with anything right now, will think about that or take suggestions... hint. OH, the big question. To get the good spot (if there is such a thing) what time should the early bird arrive? It's about 1 1/2 hours up there for me, I want to be there in plenty of time. Is there a seller fee? All these are probably already answered, sorry if I'm redundant. Have to get out and feed for the evening and don't feel like reading.

We have a barn that will be cleaned out and a nice big old oak tree next to the barn for shade. It's a go rain or shine. I think we will have a nice day. We are up on a hill so we most always get a breeze. You can bring a table and chair if you like. I will have a couple of tables and some chairs. No fees. We start at around 9:00am but I will be out there earlier. I will be putting up signs Friday evening. I will pretty much have everything ready on Friday.

I will travel 2 hrs away but that is my limit. Tractor Supply has been handing out flyers for our swap on Sat. Next month we will most likely start having monthly swaps there. It really depends on how our first one goes on Saturday June 26th whether we have the swaps monthly.

Here is a picture of the barn area where we will have our swap.

Looks great!

Off topic question... why aren't there any signatures showing up in posts? I've been meaning to ask that, keep forgetting to.
