Oregon Fall Poultry Swap! 9/25/10 11am **all details on first post!*

[Cloverleaf Farm]

Wow - that list is REALLY getting long!!

List update: I no longer have the Golden Polish Crested pullets (Chickboss has them!)

I've never been to a swap--what do people transport and display the birds in? Cages? Boxes with wire lids or just holes cut for ventilation? Are there escapees?

Yay! I bet the girls are excited!!

I brought all mine in dog crates, and had a poster board that listed out everything I had, and how much I wanted for it. Then I just crossed off as things sold. Others had wire cages/crates. I didn't see anyone escape last time...

I will be copying what you did because I really liked the board with everything listed. It was nice!

Cloverleaf, I like the posterboard idea too. It's going to take me 3 days to catch these buggers--they're running around in the woods like feral cats, and their coop doesn't lend itself to easy nighttime capture. The Hamburgs are very canny. If nobody has expressed any interest in my Hamburgs, should I bother to catch and bring them?

 

[Cloverleaf Farm]

If you want, I can edit your list to say that you will only bring them if someone says they definitely want them. Last time I only brought adults that people had said they wanted ahead of time. On the other hand, I sold alot of young birds as "impulse buys"...so aside from the black bantam Ameraucanas (which I have specified on my list that I would only bring if someone wants them) I will be bringing everything that I have available...hmm...I might need to rent a minivan! LOL

1 Bantam Buff Brahma hen(SOLD)

1 Olive Egger roo...FREE

1 Blue Andlusian Hen(SOLD)

and I might be selling 1 lavender orp rooster

there might be more added...but that is it so far.

Ooohhhh I'd really like the Blue Andalusian and the Bantam Buff Brahma! How old are they? Not that it matters lol. Let me know if they are still available.

 

[Tsagirl]

The bantam buff is about 8 months and the Blue Andalusian is about 4-5 months. They come from good stock(not hatchery) and will be $30 for both.

Let me know if you still want them and I will make sure they go to you when I get there.
