Where is PDX? I will see if the guy still has the lambs. Thanks!

Well it is sort of on the way. Chehalis is halfway to Seattle... but does only going as far as Olympia do you any good?

This one egg was in the carrier from the way home from the swap!!! I think it is from K7s birds as hers were a little older and had larger eggs.

It is so cute and has a darling personality already! BTW-Tallyho-your girls are so friendly! I have to be careful not to step on them when they are free-ranging as they run up to me! Awwww

Thank you but I don't think that little of a ways makes the lambs worth the trip. I appreciate you trying though!

They got loved on a lot. Many from this line are used as visiting animals at nursing homes in California...cochins are sweet but these might be extra docile. Yeah, my girls didn't really start laying until two weeks ago or so.

I'll tell him nevermind then. I'll just post whenever he goes and we can see if anyone needs anything.

If you dot mind what happens to em she'll gladly take em!

LOL well, I happen to find them pretty tasty myself! Plus there's all those lovely feathers...
I plan to bring only the boys that I feel truly deserve a second chance. I will keep my favorite of each breed (speckled sussx, buff orp, and aloha) and I plan to eat the others (mutts, if they hatch, included) but you know how it goes... some of them are charmers and if I find a young roo I really can't bring myself to eat, I will see if I can find him a new home. I am worried that I may be bringing several Alohas because they are SO pretty I don't know how I will ever choose just ONE. (For anyone who doesn't know what an Aloha is, check out the pics of their parents http://s27.photobucket.com/albums/c181/sommerp/Aloha Pens April 2011/ and believe me that they are even lovlier in person!)

It's good to know that the pullets will be easy to rehome. What would ya'll recommend selling them for? Its a LONG drive to have a car full of chickens, so if the extra girls can help with gas costs it would be great. Of course I love trading too, but I want to have a price in mind if anyone asks.

Oh, and if you want to see pics of some of my past extra roos in their current form, here they are!

And this one is hen feathers that match the silver penciled wyandotte I plan to rehome:

I am really serious about wanting feathers. If any of you have roos you plan to freezer camp before the swap I will buy/trade for feathers!

Those are just GORGEOUS! Thanks for sharing the pics, I was kind of wondering what you did with those feathers!​
 
Tam'ra.... how do we save the feathers for you? We'll be processing a couple of cockerels and hens tomorrow, I could probably save most of the.. um.. hide? for you if you want. I'll just stick them in freezer bags. You'll want to clean them before making a mask. Super cool by the way, I LOVE the one with the barring!!
