Tooootally off subject but you guys give great advice/ideas so - do any of you have advice on what kind of home milk pasteurizer you would buy? Want it for goats milk in the spring (stove top pasteurizing does not fit into my life). Any ideas welcome.

Zoomummy - had your first grandegg today out of the girls. Sooo glad I've ordered hatching eggs (LF) to arrive next week, too many cute ones would be tempting. I willlllll be strong (just send them to you).

For Spring Swap, here're what I might have

Have:
Call Ducklings (5 months old by swap time)
Pair of 1 year old call duck for free (black drake, blue hen), this is the pair that I got for my in-law but they changed their mind and got Teal Duck instead
Mandarin Duck eggs or duckling?
Pair of 1 year old black mottled D'anver
Pair of Lavender Ameraucana Bantam. I got these chicks for free from a very nice breeder in Vancouver, WA back in Sept

Want:
D'anver chicks or pullet any color
white Mandarin drake

Will only bring what I have to the swap if someone want them.

Adding to WANT list....

1-2 bantam pullets. Would not mind Ameracaunas, Welsummers or other colored eggers. Will be flock fillers to keep the little roosters company while the show hens are separated out, so personality and health are more important than breed standard.

Ducks need a ride to Washington.

I'm hoping that someone plans to be going from Central Oregon to Eastern Washington and could carry a pair of ducks.

Granny Carol (you all know her from BYC) and I have decided that a pair of my Appleyards should migrate from my house to her house to give her some new bloodlines.

I'm near Redmond/ Terrebonne, she says anywhere near the TriCities would be perfect (Richland, Pasco, Kennewick) and she could go to Hermiston too.

Sending them through the mail is out of the question. There is too much risk.

Nice mannered tame ducks. No panic or hysteria.

I have posted for sale a Wyandotte cock that I traded for from Christine (she raises and shows SLW, Buff silkies, etc) from Oregon. I have found another cock that is more closely related to my flock for line breeding. This bird came from the Foleys originally. He is about 1.5 years I believe, and his fertility is very high.
I wanted to let you guys know because it would be nice for him to stay in the NW.
