I want Scovies, but don't want to travel that far! Sorry.

Hey if anyone is interested in what mothergoose has I'm going out on saturday to pick up my ducklings. I will gladly pick up what you want. They still have to be small because my mil has agreed to let the ducklings in her garage( I'm supplying the light and container) for saturday and sunday.

We almost went to Burlington. I thought it was going to be raining and snowing this morning. Then we decided against it because it would be after ten before we got there. Plus I was only going for a male call duck. Wren did you go?

Wanted to go to Burlington...but figured the weather would be cruddy. Slept in and had already made plans for the morning...and then it was nice (minus wind, at least in Davenport) until 10am! Oh well.

You didn't miss anything at Burlington. We didn't take anything to sale but went ahead and went to look. There were very few animals there and it was cold and nasty. The antique dealers were there along with toy, clothes, tools, and misc. items. They outnumbered the people there with animals to sale. Everyone was looking forward to the May swap.

Hi nope I did not go. Had to work because a person got drunk and I had to fill his shift.

Wanted to go though. Won't be going to many this year I think.

I understand getting attached,

no hard feelings.

I didn't get the second thing you said, lol do you anticipate having Ameracauna's in May possibly? I'm sure I have not quite followed the whole convo!! lol

 

[FlashPointFarm]

It's possible I'll have extras in May, a few anyway. I'll post what I plan on bringing.

The 2 that I had in the pen that I was going to take with me to the swap are so friendly, my husband wanted to keep them, I can't argue with that! I've never come across chickens that friendly before.

Can anyone post what Swaps and Meets are around Iowa and what dates? Does anyone know of anything around Ames/Des Moines?

Thanks.

I have a couple Scovie eggs in the 'bator. My fingers are crossed for them to hatch in about a week. I should have more eggs to hatch if I ever find the new place the girls are hiding their eggs.
