How was the Maquoketa swap? We just live down in Clinton and had really wanted to go, but one of the kids got sick. This is our second year w/chickens and really want to get some silkies sometime! I too am having too much fun, and it's a good thing my hubby is the voice of reason, otherwise my chicken coop might just be as big as my house.Oops. In Maquketa.
