WallTenters
Have -
Rhonda and I's purebreds:
Dominique Hatching Eggs, Chicks.
Americauna Hatching Eggs, Chicks, SQ lines.
Orpington Hatching Eggs, BBS SQ lines.
Marans Hatching Eggs, Wheaten and Blue Wheaten.

From our youth - Rhonda's son and my neice:
Japanese Hatching Eggs, Chicks. Blues and Blacks.
Bantam Rose Comb Rhode Island Red Hatching Eggs, Chicks, from show lines.
Mixed bantams - RC RIR, Mille Fleur Cochin, Americauna, Japanese in the pen, hatching eggs and maybe chicks.

Specialty Mixed Breeds:
75% Americauna EE Hatching Eggs, Chicks. Sex-Linked!*
75% Marans Hatching Eggs, possibly some Chicks. These have been crossed out for better production, but will still have much darker than average eggs.
2nd Generation "Walrus" Hatching Eggs, Chicks. 75% SQ Orpington. Sex-Linked!*
Black Sex-Link Hatching Eggs, possibly some Chicks.

Spoken For:
Enough chicks for 2-3 pullets, Jersey Giants for moodlymoo

Can do special hatchings of our breeds and many others - have many great connections for SQ/BQ eggs in a variety of breeds. Want just 5 chicks, healthy with no shipping losses? Get in touch with me, email is best.

By Request -
Heritage meat cockerel chicks, if we aren't sold out - $0.75ea, perfect for pastured poultry and backyard programs. The fastest maturing heritage breed, get the tenderness of a young bird with the flavor of a real chicken.

Capons, Dominique, Walrus and Sex-Links (Dominique cross), *possibly* Jersey Giants. Grow meat birds in town! Capons do not crow, can be grown longer and stay tender, make great adoptive mothers for chicks, and can be housed with hens. All these breeds will make excellent capons, with good feed conversion and rate of growth. We need to know at least 3 months in advance if you want these capons! They need time to incubate, hatch, grow to caponizing size (about 8 weeks) and then have some recovery time before the swap.

See post #62 for more information about WallTenter's birds....

Want -
Honey (several jars)
Plant starts, strawberries if they're on, etc.
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.

*These pens have blue roosters over blue barred hens, if a chick comes out splash it will be harder to see the dot on the head for the sex-linking. About 1/4 of the chicks will be splash.

Done!

 

[Oregon Blues]

[[[[........-NOT bringing cheesecakes for the Spring Swap......]]]]]

I make a darn good cheese cake, but I can't buy the ingredients, take the time to bake them, freeze them, and haul them around for delivery for what Zoomummzy charges, so I am not bringing cheesecakes, either.

 

[ZooMummzy]

I just simply do not have the time this year. I get back from vacation less than 48 hours before the swap

Doesn't need to be added to my haves right now, but I have one Serama rooster on my website who needs a new home if anyone is looking for one. Nothing is "wrong" with him lol he just doesn't like being in a cage.

 

[Sumatra503]

I had a great idea and have been forgetting to mention it, so here goes...

I was thinking that it might be cool to have hourly presentations on chickens and such. I have a few prepared that I could present at the swap.

A Beginning Chicken Care presentation that covers Housing, Feeding, Selecting Breeds, and all the other beginning things. For good information on caring for new chickens for those just starting out or considering chickens.

Gardening With Chickens. Covering Chicken Tractors, Growing your own Chicken Food, Composting with chickens, The benefits of chickens in gardens, and other such gardening with chickens related topics.

Biosecurity. Covers what biosecurity is, why it is important, how it applies to small flocks, common diseases, and why quarantining is important.

The presentations are about 15or 20 minutes in length and I am able and willing to do them for free if you guys are interested in having me do them.

I can also take suggestions for any sort of topic that applies to poultry, rabbits, gardening, or whatever else. I have a vast ammount of knowledge and experience with many things.

We've talked about doing something like this before, and you are welcome to do that at your spot if you'd like. We had decided in the past that the swaps are just too busy and crazy to do anything formal, but if you'd like to come up with a schedule to post on a poster board or something, with topics that will be discussed at each listed time, I think that'd be great.

Sounds great!

Though it'd be cool if there was a formal listing of them and the times on the Swap Website so that those attending the swap will know about them. Also, it would be better to have a central location for them that is away from everyone's tables so I'm not in the way and people can gather there to hear them.

Just a thought and glad I have permission to do them even if it ends up being at my own booth at my own booth.
