Hi everyone...I plan on being there Sat. but we may be somewhat late. My son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on Mon. and we just came home from the hospital last night!

Tell your son, not to worry. My wife has had type 1 diabetes for over 45 years, and it hasn't slowed her down. Many celebrities and sports figures have diabetes and you wouldn't know if they didn't tell.
Hope the rain holds off till after noon, but as I recall, the chickenstocks at Central Tractor have been a little "damp" before and they were still well attended.​

I have been worse than under the weather. I am now on proper medicine and plan on being there tomorrow. I don't have enough energy to load up and pick out birds so I guess I will just be there as a tester and a buyer. I refuse to miss it! See ya'all in the morning.

I am debating on going, I have alot of tests to study for. Is it supposed to rain a whole lot?

It looks like we will have clear skies until tomorrow afternoon. Hope you can make it.

I got all my testing done tonight. So I'm free and clear of that.
I have everything loaded and ready to go.
I will not be selling till after I get all my birds unloaded and Set up and will be selling first come first severed.
People can just get mad!
I have one unrated pair of turkeys for breeding only. They are just to friendly for someone to eat and I have made up my mind they will be sold as a pair or not sold at all.
I to have had some health issues come up so I understand how you feel about packing up Tammy.
If I did not have to cut back so much I would not even mess with it.
See y'all there.

I'm looking for 2 or so Wyandottes, Cochins, or Orps. Hens only. Have enough Roos! We plan on getting there at 8 on the dot! Hope there are still some left!

 

[nursecat9]

We are planning on being there between 8 and 8:30....already loaded up! Hopefully closer to 8! See you all there!

We are loaded and will be there early to help answer questions and such. I think we do have a no sales till 8am policy set to allow vendors time to get set up. We didn't even get our canopy set up last swap. We were just swarmed and sold out of the back of our van. Ronnie set up the Chickenstock, so he'd be the one to ask. I think it's back on the first post and on our websites, FaceBook, flyers, etc. I have Guineas in 3 colors and sizes, Bantam Millie Fleur Cochins, Frizzles, Silkies, a couple broody hens, Russian Orloffs, BLRW, Bantams, a Sulkie, eggs, and a bunch more packed. Some pre-sales in the van too. I just couldn't get everything squeezed in.

From all the phone calls, emails and pms, we are gonna have a huge crowd though. If anyone needs help, just hollar at us. Gonna be a GOOD TIME!!!

I'd really appreciate if everyone would hold off till 8 am to start selling. I have told everyone who has called and e-mailed we wouldn't start before the scheduled time and there have been complaints in the past of customers showing up right at 8 and seeing birds already leaving the sale. I would like please as many of our shared customers as possible. Not even sure anyone will read this as the swap starts in 7 hours. I've been super busy all day got a TON of calls from buyers and sellers I think we'll have a great day tomorrow. Here is wishing everyone the best. If anyone has any questions I' m still loading and will be up for another hour or so. I'll check back on BYC before I pass out... If I get sleep.
