Erin I'm sure it's nice I just don't do face book.
Carol I just hatched 6 pure white guineas.
I thought at one time (I could be wrong) that y'all wanted some.
Just trying to help you out like you did me.
I still want at least 4 violets and blues when you get them.
I got 12 eggs of the chocolate guineas swap.

Erin the martinsburg PO let me post a flyer buy their drop boxes.
So people hopefully will see it before someone takes it down.
I will try the hedgesville one too.
Got two at Lowes
3 left to post that I have printed out.

Oh no! I'm sorry. What a bummer. I sympathize. I had to put child-proof locks on the door to the room with my incubators because the adjustment bolts and stuff on the sportsman were just too tempting for my kiddo!

Silly kids.

I set my last full tray for the sale this morning. I feel like I'm cutting it close! This last batch will be about 5 days old the day of the sale. Now I have to figure out a good setup to keep a mess of itty bitties happy for the day. I'm used to dragging around adult birds to shows, not traveling with little chicks. It'll be interesting. I'm sure I'll stress about it way more than the chicks will.

It should be sunny

so sticking the babies in some sun usually works but, I will have some extension cords if anyone gets desperate

I am attending the Maryland Poultry Swap on June 18th and was going to sign up for the beginners show clinic, I have four pullets I want to bring but they need NPIP certification. My farm is outside Martinsburg and I have heard of this guy Jonathan who will do it but I can't find his phone number. Help!

 

[Msbear]

Hey Countrygirl, Jonathon is coming up to Martinsburg to test all the others in the area and Im sure he can squeeze you in. Pm either Tammy or Tonya for his number. ,,and Tammy will get you hooked up with your show entry

 

[gootziecat]

Since Jonathon coming, does that mean over 3 mo. birds can be tested at the swap?

 

[Country Girl Wannabe]

Will do. I am so excited about the show and can't wait to meet you and all the other folks who frequent BYC! I work in Fairfax, VA, do you think it would help to put up flyers in this area? You probably already have someone doing this but I thought I would ask.

YES!! post away. There are lots of chicken newbies out that way that will come and shop. Thanks!

There will be NO TESTING on event day. MD state does not want commingled birds so, we will have a testing clinic on June 5th for anyone wishing to get birds testing. Goozie, Jonathon will take care of you if you want NPIP. If you do not.. just bring a handful of breeders to the testing clinic and that should cover all the juvies.
