Oregon folks (Washington too) - Chicken Swap in Salem on June 13!

Date sort Score sort
Hi,

I am not a chicken owner yet, but plan on getting 3-4 in July when I move to Arizona. Would it be OK if I stopped by and just checked things out?
Thinking about getting two easter eggers, RIR and a black sex-link when I get to Tucson. Maybe there will be breeds at the swap that would change my mind. Have had little interaction with all of the different breeds. I just like the idea of having blue and brown speckeled eggs for meals!
Thanks,
Bosque
 
Oooh Oooo I wanna go, but do I want to drive 7 hours one way... Hmmm, Plus Hubby works on the weekends, so I'd be doing it alone Hmmm....

I'll talk to hubby and see what I can work out, he could visit his brother in Yakama, WA, if he could get the day off?

What time are we looking at?

If I can make it, I'll have

3 week old Button Quail Chicks
Three 5 week old Cochin Chicks
One 5 week old OEGB Chick
and Several chicks under a week old that will be mix breed.
Also maybe a few Button Chicks under a week old.

Maybe some Chicken Art, we'll see how well my experimentations with Chicken Photography go, LOL.

I can't imagine that anyone would have an issue of you coming to drool over their chickens. I certainly wouldn't. My only concern is that someone might show up with a sick bird and I'd have to destroy my new, expensive birds (I'm buying some show line Welsummers from PinkChick). I plan to park a little ways away and whisk my new birds off to the truck as soon as I can. Then I'll come back and socialize and check out all the other birds and goodies.

Oh, if anyone really wants mint starts let me know. I have some volunteers this year and I can pot up a few in exchange for good wishes and friendship.

Does anybody have and Speckled Sussex pullets or hens? Lost our one SS this week and we miss her!

We are just looking for 1 or 2 at the most.

Thanks!

Bil, I just got my shipment from Welp this morning with Speckled Sussex pullets. Shall I save one or two for you?
 
I love mint and and I have a natural garden I cant use pest control or anything in and was thinking mint makes a mild natrual pest repplent if I remmber and if its tenacios I can plant it in unlikely spots
