Posters up at vets office in Needmore, PA...feed store in Warfordsburg, PA...Southern States in Winchester...will do more this coming week. Hedgesville is Tonya's neck of the woods.
 
I'm going to put one up at Lowes and I'll try the peddlers wagon. ( small feed store)
I can get my mom to post some in sterling va.
My granddad has greenhouses down there and I can have them post flyers. I'll also try the little store down the road on rt 9.
Put one up in my subdv.
I have told a few breeders in va and a few in pa that I have talked to.
Will post it on ECC too.
 
My 4 yr old got to my incubator AGAIN and I lost around 80 eggs... AGAIN

He did it about 3 weeks ago... when I went to turn, the eggs were blazing hot and my thermometer said 126 degrees

Of course,,, eveything gone... not just egg laying breeds but, these ridiculously weak wheaten rosecombs I've been babying... like one out of 1 out of 2 are even fertile and then only 30% hatch from there and then some of those are too weak to live. Im dealing with incredibly weak genes and am breeding them to my blacks to improve them but.. I need wheatens to breed back to so I can't just cull them all....

Anyway, I sat down with him and talked to him about how he hurt the eggs and how he's not allowed in there, etc. ...well, he strikes again

right after it's filled back up and I was expecting a hatch this week.. I am so bummed. I still have my cabinet full but, I definitely took a hit.

Thanks all for posting the flyers. I hit Greencastle and Hagerstown and Maugansville yesterday and got to talk with a bunch of folks who said they were definitely coming. Thanks for getting Winchester and parts out in WV and PA and, I think places like Sterling and Leesburg will attract some buyers.

ahhhh.... Im going to count out the days and see how much time I have left to hatch

Good luck!
My hit was almost every hen went broody right after the last swap.
Then a owl and a canine about wiped out my guineas.
So I swaped a lot (guineas and the ones laying) and brought some that some friends sold me really cheap just to get their breeds out there.
I feel like I won't have enough .

what a bummer, Tonya! Ahh!!! how frustrating.

Hey Guys, I started a facebook page where we can try and unite all area farmers/hobbyists outside of BYC. It's slow goings but, I 've seen Moutain State Poultry already has over a thousand members and they are the folks that do the Clarksburg swaps and started after us.. so, we have some catching up to do but, I think we could gain a lot of folks from there. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/...y-Swap-Farmers-Market/131707836905457?sk=wall LIKE ME!! ... please

Guineas~ Chocolate,Pewter,Lav,Coral blue , Royal purple,Buff, plus new blood for pearls,whites.
I also got chocolate call ducks & grey calls
my Jg eggs only got 1 so I wont have any more of these to sell till fall or spring.
Most of what is in the bator now is breeding stock. & orders.
At least there will be breeds that most don't have around here that are breeder Quilty .
I think the Lemon Blue Cochins will do good.
I may keep s trio for myself????????
