Bringing
-Serama Hatching Eggs
-Serama chicks, about 6-8 weeks old by swap time so they will be sexed. I will be selling most of them as pairs or trios (if I have that many hatch), but will know better once I have an accurate count of pullets/cockerels. They will be from my lines. I have a frizzled roo and a silkied roo and several roosters 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

- 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!

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.

What do you all think- would anyone be interested in mutt pullets at the swap?
I have never been to a swap so I am not sure if its worth bringing them along if no one on this thread wants them. I have 3? 4? broodies now sitting on eggs. And this is in addition to my Aloha project culls who are turning into very pretty birds- even the ones that don't look right. All the birds will be old enough to sort by the time the swap gets here, and I assume the cockerals aren't worth bringing. Likely, the broodies' chicks will all end up black as my dominant roo is a (black) Blue Andalusian. I DO NOT WANT more black chickens! The possible mothers include a variety of dual purpose hens (wyandottes, orpingtons, barred rock) So they are probably going to be largish birds that lay pretty well. I get large light brown eggs from all the girls, but Andalusians are said to be prolific white egg layers. I wouldn't know, since the only one I managed to hatch was a boy. So I will have a bunch of extra mixed breed dual purpose pullets in a variety of colors available for the swap... should I bring them all?
I am also considering bringing my silver penciled wyandotte and one of my columbian wyandotte hens. It isn't that I dislike them, but with me collecting so many more chickens, I should really rehome some of the ones I don't feel attached to. They'll be 2 1/2 when the swap comes around, but they still lay very well. The reason I am not sure about bringing them is that they are older and hatchery quality, so neither trait is particularly desireable. But they are healthy mature laying hens who are great dog-savvy free rangers. Maybe I could donate them to the raffle? I don't really want to get money out of them as much as I want them to have a good home. They are not particularly sociable (my others are much friendlier and these two stay behind them) but they would be great if someone just wanted a few hens to lay eggs, maybe while their new babies grew up? Can we have chickens in the raffle? And how would this work if I don't want my cage to go with them?

My mutt pullets - bantams at that - went like crazy at the spring swap. I could have rehomed at least a dozen more if I had them
I think a lot of people just like a variety of chickens, doesn't need to be a specific breed or quality.
Oregonjen was looking for wyandottes....you might want to PM her.
And yes, we can raffle off chickens at the swap - minus the cage. Everyone will be able to enter tickets for the items they want to win, so it won't just be a random "you've won this!" type of thing. I think that would be a great idea.
Is this thing on??
I have an announcement to make...
You can now insert a banner or button on your personal webpage or blog to link to the Oregon Poultry Swap website! They are FREEEE (and everyone likes free stuff).
Go check it out under the Publicity tab at http://oregonpoultryswap.com
Thanks everyone for your enthusiasm about the website, it's been fun
