Lensters
Have - Week old chicks: Black Sexlinks, Red Sexlinks, Rhode Island Reds, Welsummers, blue egg Easter Eggers, olive green egg Easter Eggers, Marans
Started chicks: Black Sexlinks, Red Sexlinks, Barred Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Welsummers, olive green egg Easter Eggers
I always have one or two pullets that don't get sold with their hatchmates so lots of misc one and two pullets of the above breeds. My Welsummers and blue egg Easter Eggers are selling really well, the waiting list is into April for both, so PM soon if you want more than one or two of these. The Marans aren't consistent layers yet so I can't guarantee that I'll have them.
Rabbits: Californian kits, hanging cages for smaller breeds
Plant starts: PM me now and I'll add what you want to the green house

I'm gonna try to make it - I have to work around Saturday Market here in Eugene...I have to set up at least once a month and will be up in Seattle for a show on Easter weekend so hopefully one of the other Saturdays will be dry so I can set up there and still get to this one. So lets say I"m at 80-90% sure to be there... will know more closer to the date.

As for wants... Len, I still want some EE's and at least one bale of that grass hay (maybe 2) and if anyone has any I would love to get a couple buff brahma pullets.

I still haven't tried hatching anything but can trade art again or baked goods, or use nasty old cash...hopefully will have some chicken paintings done by then along with the cat stuff.

Are we still at 11 am, and how long will it run (will need to stop in and sell my eggs on my way out of town) so might not get there until noonish, and are we potluck picnicing again? (that looks weird no matter how I spell it??)

anyhow hope to see ya there. Leslie (thekla on the forum)
 
Anyone have two pygmy goats, either kids or young adults, that they want to sell? I'm not adding chickens right now, but would be interested in the plant starts someone said they had. What are they? Veggies, flowers, shrubs? April 24 is a good day for me and I'd love to meet some of the BYC names to put faces with them.

I look forward to meeting both of you as well and glad that you will be able to make it!

Leslie, yes, 11am till whenever really. I'm thinking last year it went till at least 3pm, didn't it? I think it's basically when everyone wants to start breaking up but I would say everyone will be there till at least 2pm. Art and baked goods sound wonderful

and I know cash is always loved, lol. The pot luck picnicing is what I was thinking and I was going to make a post about it so thanks for mentioning it! I was going to try and bring a couple different "share items" like a dessert and snack item and maybe a cooler full of water. I was also thinking that maybe this year I would bring name tags (I don't think we had them last year? maybe we did and I didn't see them) for everyone so we can put faces to names. Keep the ideas, requests and wants coming!

Oh and Carol, thanks for asking about the plant starts...I was wondering what they were as well.
 
Wanted to update my bringing list: Black Silkie rooster (HQ), 7 months old Not bringing: Barred OEGB pullets - daughter wants to keep them

I have created a set with all the photos of the birds I will be bringing/available as of now. I will update the photos every couple weeks. This is the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zoomommy/sets/72157623606904450/

Also going to place the first ad on Craigslist today to get it in people's minds even though it's early.

I know! He is even more beautiful in person. I really hope he finds a home. The barred OEGBs are the greatest little roosters. They have such sweet personalities!

Great bunch of stuff!!! I'm so looking forward to the day.
