Oregon Spring Poultry Swap April 23, 2011 in Canby!!!

[ZooMummzy]

Another update...don'tcha just love how crazy it gets in the last few weeks

One more Serama pullet - pet quality (willow legs) - Libby. She is older, hatch date 2/4/11, but can go as a pair with one of the younger ones or with Xander, the older cockerel....or by herself. Same thing, $5 for her, free if she goes as a pair + free cheesecake

And, Bonnie and Blaire - twin Silkie/Cochin X's - have been added to the available list. My broody Silkie is raising them right now. They are the babies of either my blue or black Silkie/Cochin rooster over my Silver Laced Cochin hen (almost 99% sure of this mix). They have 4 toes, feathered legs and light skin - the Cochin genes seemed to dominate. I don't know if I will know their sex by the time of the swap since they are less than a week old so I just ask that they go to a good home. You all know me well enough by now to know what that means

She is also raising a Turken baby, Zora, that I am undecided about keeping or not. I'll decide soon

Steve's Chicken Shuttle will be departing Portland, Oregon on April 6. Any chickens need a ride north?

Are they Banty or LF?

If they're LF then you can add them to my list

I'm past the point of worrying what DHs face is going to look like when I get home from the swap!

Heather, celiandy has LF cochins (I'm getting buff pullets!) and Cloverleaf has Faverolles (I'm getting some too!)! Go through the list. But don't discount the banties! They're sooooo sweet!

Looks like I'd better get my wants down in black and white,before I forget something. I think even my DH is begining to get excited

Zoomumzy - a TripleBerry Cheesecake with the sugar cookie crust ,please

Zanna - some of your Creamed Honey - not sure how you sell that - a pound if that works (do I need to bring a container?)

Sakchickens - 2 motted Java pullets and 2 Americauna pullets

Already talked to

AyeUpChuck - Some Morels and Truffles if you find some - I would love to try them
Also would like to add - several of the Chocolate Truffles and 3 of your cupcakes

Cathy M - 4oz jar of the Tomato Orange Marmalade
Pint of the Boysenberry Apple Jam

jzarabs - getting 8 BLRW chicks

This list is beginning to get scarey

. My Narrangasett Turkeys have finally started laying eggs. In fact 1 hen has already started to set. If anyone is interested in eggs - please let me know.

Do we have any musicians in the crowd? I have a violinist/fiddler. If I pay him $ or in chickens from the swap, I might be able to get him to work on his fiddle tunes. Anyone else with skills out there?

that would be perfect


No, I'm not a musician, but I'm bringing enough roosters that they could probably "sing" for us all
