Oregon Spring Chicken Swap!! SAT, April 24!! Albany OR **UPDATED MAP*

Date sort Score sort
Two more weeks!

I might have some mystery tomato starts to bring along with the handful of morning glory. They should be the gold nugget variety, but I lost their ID tag along the way so can't be 100% sure. They will not be hardened off yet, and may be smaller (ie younger) than the average transplant you can find at the stores already, as I've seeded them for transplant back home in Everett WA, which doesn't happen till mid to late May. It's cooler up there and freak April snow tends to happen every few years. LOL
 
will anyone else be interested in the black orp with lavender gene? I need to know how many to bring.

I might be interested. I will know in a couple of days. I'm thinking of adding Lavender Orps to my stock.

I'll be bringing a half a dozen Cali rabbit kits and the items ordered by people from my list. I still only have request for a couple EE and a couple WS chicks. If you want something else I need to know in advance as any chickens I bring I can't take back with me.

I'm not sure how long it will hang on though. I had good sales up until two weeks before Easter, when the feed stores started getting their chicks in. Since then I have had multiple people setup appointments to buy chicks and never show. One lady even called me and said she would be here in a hour, she just had to stop by the feed store to get a bag of chick starter first. She never showed. I guess cute & easy trumps quality.

I'm going to leave last week's weekly special up for another day or two but I'm out of room and when the hatch that is currently going needs to move to brooders, those older girls will be going to freezer camp. Everyone will move up a brooder/cage/pen but those are daughters of my current roo so I don't want to put them in the breeding pen. They will be nice and tender eating if nothing else.

OMG, if you have kits there... I am so tempted. How awesome would it be to walk a pet rabbit bigger than my neighbors micro dogs. LOL

For the birds headed to freezer camp... how old are they and what are you asking for them?

I'd be interested in some of those tomato starts if you bring them. I can only have pots again this summer but I'd like to get an early start on them. Looking forward to seeing you!

Not only would it be bigger, but you'd have to tell them to keep their yippie dogs back or the rabbit will literally kick their dog's butt (or head).

Calis are usually a really calm breed but if it comes to the fight or flight response, they make a quick hit (chest ram and a kick) then a short dash and then depending on how effective the quick hit was, either come back and finish the job or run for cover.

When I was a kid I tried to teach a couple of my rabbits to heel and it just wasn't going to happen. Walking a rabbit consists of either following it around or dragging it behind you. Rabbits are solitary animals and the concept of walking next to another "creature" is just not in their genetics.

It would be the 13 birds in the "ready made flock" special. An 11 month old Black Sexlink, two 3 month old Barred Rocks and ten 3 month old Rhode Island Red pullets for $75. A little expensive for a couple of dinners.
 
Len I would love some of your wellsummers(chicks or whatever) and we can trade for my orps?

let me know if that would work.

Are your wellies show quality?
