Michigan Chickenstock 2013 Buy/Sell/Trade

[preciouskitty]

I am looking for a few regular size easter egger pullets and a roo. But I cant spend a lot. Where would I post this to see if anyone has some.

I have an EE cockerel (will b 13 weeks old by CS). Free to good home.
If I can figure out how to post pic, I will.

Ref to location, Google keeps referring me to Hunters Orchard Park on 7242 Old River Trail, is this just up the trail from Delta Mills Park ? It wont recognize Delta Mills Park.

If so then I have directions to get there. 200+ miles one way, but I see some are coming farther.

With google I typed in the actual address "6841 Old River Trail" vs the park name.

I'm not sure who's in charge of the raffle table, or if anyone would be interested, but I have a pair of kids (size 10-12) overalls that I'm willing to donate. I bought them at the last employee sale for my nephew, but he moved to Japan and has no need for them. (Oh yeah, I work for Carhartt....) Would they be of any interest to anyone? If so, I'll donate them for the raffle table.

Quote: I use google.maps.com and typed in 7001 Old River Trail. Is this NOT the address?? On satelite version it looks very wooded and I cannot see what looks like a park, but thats where I'm headed.

On a completely different note, I have decided to gather and bring along some of my White Chantecler eggs. Mine are from Greg Oakes line who is of Ontario. I will be asking only $2 each egg reason being they MAY NOT be fertile. I paid nearly $10 per egg when I got these babies and they are a beautiful bird that was very interesting thru the winter here near Saginaw Bay. However, my only rooster, huge and gorgeous, has hardly not a claw on either foot (lost during fighting) and has a very hard time mounting and staying on the hens. I've seen him mount the same hen up to 3X's in one afternoon. Is he not getting the job done?? Does he have some way of knowing she still needs something?? I don't know. This is a gamble to buy these eggs, but if they are getting fertile you'll have real show stoppers. I love my Chante's and it was nothing for them to set out all night in a snowstorm on a fence instead of going in for the night. Willing to take the risk, $2 per egg.? I'll be bringing along whatever my 3 hens lay from now till Chickenstock, (have 5 already) possibly up to 17 of them. Anybody have thoughts on offering this as long as I'm being straight up honest about the rooster? If I had time to incubate some right now I would, perhaps I'll do some when I get home. Please be honest.

I'd love some aloe vera! My cats destroyed mine the other day.

I will bring some. Do you have anything to trade?

Does anyone have any bantam pullets to sell? I am looking for anything unique. I would be thrilled with something frizzled. Maybe a Polish, Cochin, Sizzle, Sebright, or Brabanter.... Thanks!

I have a pair of EE's - 11 weeks.

I'm bringing Sebrights. 5 pullets and 2 cockerels.
17/18 weeks old this week.

I need to figure out what else I need to bring if anyone is interested (other than what's already been arranged) . . .

I still have for sale or trade:
1 (possibly 2) JG pullet - almost 3 months old
3 RIR pullets - almost 3 months old
1 golden sebright pullet - almost 3 months old
4 FBC marans pullets - 2 1/2 months to 3 1/2 months old (most have little or no leg feathering but came from very dark eggs)
2 Light Brahma pullets - definitely not show quality but very spoiled! Nice leg feathering. Just over 4 months old
7 or 8 newly hatched (June 15tth and 16th) Muscovy ducklings (Dad is a big, gorgeous chocolate, mama white with chocolate angel wings)

I also can bring:
empty feed bags for crafts (Armada brand - layer, starter, and duck)
Red Wigglers (in lots of 100 worms)

plants:
rooted cuttings from my variegated willow
aloe vera
mother of thousands babies
chives
gladiola bulbs (red, blue, white, purple) - I only have a small amount of these left
egg cartons (holds 1 1/2 dz.)


I forgot to mention raspberry plants, too - I have several that I was going to thin. I think they are either Latham or Heritage . . . .
