These are two orp girls that I picked up from Tsagirl (Theresa)...they are doing well and have adapted nicely into my flock...except they haven't laid an egg yet! LOL

 

[SamuelMcF]

I SO SO SO wish I could come but I think its too far

its over six hours for me

Quote:
Wow - that IS a long way! I probably wouldn't go if I had a 6 hour drive either! It WILL rotate up and down the state though, so hang in there - maybe you can make it to another one!

 

[ZooMummzy]

I agree, 6 hours is a long drive. I'm sorry you won't make it though. I know there has been talk of organizing one on the Eastern side of the state. Maybe someone will pick up the ball and run with that soon!

 

[Tsagirl]

Non....those girls look like they have a happy home!! don't worry they will soon lay for you and there will be HUGE eggs.
LOL!

enjoy!

 

[ZooMummzy]

I wanted to share off my happy girls from Theresa too!

They are all spoiled rotten and loved very much by us and their new "Cage Mom", Gwynne my BL Polish I got at the spring swap in April.

 

[Tsagirl]

WOW Laura they are beautiful!!!!!!

All I can say is, I must be giving pullets to you know after that one roo. hahaha!!!! I felt so bad that I blessed these chicks with henness. LOL! Those silke/millie crosses are sure beautiful!!! I sure wish I could have kept them, but they are in a great home!

Thank you for giving them a wonderful place at your house!

Take care!
Theresa

 

[ZooMummzy]

Lol Karma I guess

Thank you and thank you! Yes, they are gorgeous little creatures and feisty as can be! I am very pleased with all of them and of course, spoiling them rotten

ZooMummzy -

Have -
**if all goes as planned, I will have a few Serema's available - approx 4 months old by that point (or you can have them earlier if pick up is arranged)
standard Crele Polish chicks (I just ordered hatching eggs to be delivered in Feb/March)
bantam mutt chicks from my chickens - Birchen/Black Sizzle X Dark Brahma; Black Tailed Jap x Barred OEGB and Blue Silkie mix x Blue Naked Neck Frizzle

**my guys at Del's here in Philomath (I keep them well fed with cheesecakes, pies, cakes, etc) have graciously allowed me to place an order for LF chicks (25 minimum) through their spring chick program with Privett. I can choose any breed I want, mix and match, from Privett's list (I'm getting it emailed to me) and delivered whenever I want. I'm going to go ahead and pay for pullets and for all the chicks to be vaccinated for Marek's. I was thinking of having them delivered a couple weeks before the swap. Any that aren't spoken for will go back to Del's to sell. If there is a breed you are wanting but don't want to place a large order, let me know by January 1st. I'm sure we can make a trade - cheesecake or pie for chicks I will post the available breeds when I get the list.

**Baked Cheesecakes $15 each (and worth every cent per Cloverleaf!); will come frozen and wrapped. Cut off date for ordering will be 2 weeks prior to the swap. See available flavors below.

(Cheesecakes ordered: Cloverleaf - Buckeye and Sunshine)

**Pies with real lard crust (Nana's recipe). They will be $7 each and I can make any fruit pie (double crust or dutch crunch topping) or pecan pie. Sorry, no cream pies or meringues for the swap.

Potluck: I will be bringing both a cheesecake and a pie for the pot luck and probably some sort of dip.

silkiechicken -
Want: Extra roo's for meat or spent hens. Two turkey hatching eggs

Another watermelon goat milk soap!

Have:
Plant Starts if all goes well:
Tomato: Roma, sweetie, gold nugget, early girl, Siberia. Gold Nugget is my personal favorite for bucket growing, sweetie is better for soil as it is not as crack resistant.

Herbs: Basil, chive, nasturtium

Other: Morning glory-turns out my blue with yellow throat of last year were not as labeled! They really are darker blue with white throats.

Seeds: Nasturtium and Morning glory if you chose to direct sow

we have some chickens that might need to go to new homes or 'camps' by April. I have hens who have been laying well for years but I'm starting to see egg quality problems in the last month or so. They're at the end of the egg laying career. I think I have 2 roos in my new batch of babies (cain't have roos). One is a silkie (from SQ stock, but don't know about him) and the other is a barnyard mix hatched by my broody 'lorp. (The aquisition of the silkies and hatching are long stories!) It's only 2 weeks old, but I see legs happening already, compared to the other one. I would dispatch them to 'camp' myself if I knew how to do it. I only hope I can keep the roos quiet until April! If I take care of these 4, I'm good for getting a few more pullets. Hmmm, now, lets see.......

want - silkie pullet/hen

jzarabs
I am planning a spring order of BLRW chicks from Paul's in the spring and would be happy to add anyone elses order on to mine to split shipping costs. Minimum order is 12 chicks, I haven't decided yet how many I'm getting but we can work out details if anyone is interested. Depending on quantities I should be able to hold onto them until the spring swap unless an earlier pickup is arranged!

Want - a polish

Celiandy
Wants - Hatching eggs, chicks or hens - polish, cochins (frizzled or straight feathered standard or frizzled bantam), silkies, turkeys, or anything else that is kind of interesting. a nice buff silkie roo and a cuckoo one if anyone has one

Haves - I will hopefully have a bunch of nice silkies available, maybe some polish and various cochins.

Zoomummzy - I also ordered some of those crele polish eggs, I really hope mine hatch, but if not, maybe I can get some of yours. I'll probably also need to get a cheesecake again, they were delicious, I'm just not sure what kind yet.

I'm looking forward to coming to my first Poultry Swap. Can hardly wait to see the different breeds. I'll have no chickens to swap but may possibly have some fertile Narragansett Turkey eggs if any one is interested. I'm looking for BLRW eggs or chickens
