I'm just south of Beavercreek proper. You should totally come over. Do you need a place to sleep?

I have the dubious honor of being the camp medic for about 600 Boy Scouts that will be descending there for the weekend. I don't get to leave until the event is over, but I've been promised a very nice tent. The theme for the campout is mountain man/rendezvous, lots of sharp objects that are usually good for several owies so I should be busy.

Do Tran is an outside vendor who responded to the craigslist ad. You will see them at the bottom of our bringing/wanting lists. I will add them as they confirm

And I hear you, once my big girls outside are gone, I'm going little outside too. Right now, I already have more bantams than I do big girls so I'm heading in the right direction!

Hello all! I'm Do Tran (new to BYC). I was not able to find any local breeder of rare colours D'anver, so I just bought 15 rare colours D'anver chicks (5-Silver Quail, 5-Black Mottled, 2-Lavender Cuckoo & 4-Porcelain) from Boggy Bottom Bantams in Georgia that were hatched on 5/2, . I'll not be able to keep them all so I will bring them to the fall swap.

My wife & I were there at the spring swap in Canby to look for D'anver & Call Duck, some of you probably saw us there, it think we were the only asian couple walking around there

. We got home with a pullet welsumer.

Hope to meet all of you there. Happy Mother Day to all the Mom!!!!

Hello Do Tran! I will definately be looking at your birds. My d'anvers are 10 weeks old now and I LOOOOVE them so could see expanding in that direction

My dilemma, do I keep my pair of welsh harlequin ducklings and have 3 different duck sizes or do I sell them and get another Saxony hen.

I just can't fathom 3 duck pens in my time budget these days. Oh well, I have to decide if I can deal with craigs list crazies, wait for swap, or just keep them.

Happy Mother's Day to all.

Welcome to BYC and the thread Do Tran! I look forward to meeting you at the swap and seeing your D'anvers. I remember seeing them at the Ohio National last year and they were adorable!

Looks like it is time to update the bringing/wanting list too....I'll get to work on that

Bringing
-Serama Hatching Eggs
-possibly Serama chicks, about 6-8 weeks old by swap time so they will be sexed. I'm still debating on this one - any interest at all? They would be from my lines (my birds have good original bloodlines with no black or green legs in my pairs or trios. I have a frizzled roo and a silkied roo and several roostes with the frizzled gene. Lots of different colors - spangled, tri and mottled colored, penciled in white/black/gray, buff, peach, mille fleur (hen and roo) and one hen that is pretty close to a chocolate with black penciling.
-Asian Pears (if it's a good harvest year)
-Tomatoes, squash, whatever else I can collect from my plants and my neighbor's garden (she always has so much to share) by then
-Cheesecakes - dessert and two new twists, savory (these will be smaller in size) and bars - list forthcoming for all


Wanting
Nothing breathing or food consuming unless it's a Serama pullet or two

-2 avocado trees, chicken garden herb and veggie starts from Tam'ra
-chicken salad bar (if you build them) from Tam'ra
-jam from CathyM
-vanilla from Silkiechicken

Walltenters

Bringing
Dominiques, Orpingtons and Americaunas
- Hatching eggs... These will probably be fall breeding pens by then
- Chicks (I'll hatch them about a month before the swap, I hope, so will be nearly feathered out)
- Started Laying Pullets
- Meat Cockerels.. Eating birds, delicious, free range birds that will be great size for eating by fall swap time!
- Breeding Pullets - we will be hatching more eggs here soon, and should have several extra pullets of each breed to bring to the fall swap.
- Breeding Cockerels - we breed to standard and will have more cockerels than we need for our programs.

BY REQUEST!!!!
I will hatch out chicks of a breed of your choice. I'll try first to find local hatching eggs, but might ship them in if I can't find a breeder to meet me at one of the shows here in the Northwest. Will raise them at least a month before swap, but I have to know way ahead of time to make the connections. I only like to buy show quality/breeder quality eggs, and I prefer hatching American and heritage English birds, but wouldn't mind doing a few other breeds. Please no silkies! Prices will vary - cost of the eggs, age of the chicks by the swap, etc. I do keep track of all my expenses including electric for incubating and brooding, so I know what my bottom line is per day, varying a small amount with feed efficiency of the chicks.


Wanting
- Always want show/breeder quality hatching eggs, I love American and English breeds, heritage is always good
- Food to can/preserve! I will have a first year garden this year, so I'm looking for fruits/veggies to preserve - would like to buy in bulk!
- Might consider a nice B/B/S Orpington pullet or two, nice large show/breeder quality birds
- A nice Blue Americauna pullet with lines to compliment what Rhonda's got already... please email me - my inbox is super full!
- Turkey for Thanksgiving dinner!
- Goose for Christmas dinner!

-I will also be bringing an assortment of chicks/ juveniles and guinea keets, so I will just bring whatever hatches, hopefully quite a few. Sorry, I can not take orders as it is just to difficult with such a large amount of animals here and not knowing what will hatch, how many I can fit in the bators, etc. You are welcome to let me know if you are interested in certain breeds and I will make an extra effort to get them in the incubator, but I can not make guarantees on chicks.

-If I have adult birds come up, I will list them here and I am happy to hold them for up to 3 weeks prior to the swap.

Ok, Ayeupchuck and auntpa-k, my daughter's first match tomorrow is at 9:30. Not making that one for sure! If she wins, she will play again at 12:30 but I'm not going to bank on that (not that she can't win, lol just not a good idea to count those chicks before they hatch lol), so I'm back to thinking Wilsonville around noon or so? I looked at the map and that kind of looks in the middle for all of us (correct me if I'm wrong). What do you think?

Also, if anyone else needs transportation up or down this section of I-5 for eggs or birds, please get in touch with me ASAP so we can make arrangements. I won't be going back up that way (knock on wood) till late June if then, so now is your chance
