Oregon Summer Poultry Swap, Redmond, June 18th

[starchix]

I'm looking for some kind of lightweight yet secure mobile coop, either as a summer-only 'tractor' for my girls, or as a second permanent (though movable) coop for my wee bantam flock. Does anyone know local builders of such? I'm hoping to see a coop builder or two at the swap.

I was just looking at the "wanting" and "bringing" lists and want to clarify that I'm not looking for candles and homemade stuff, I was just encouraging another poster to bring whatever she has! At this point, I'm only actively looking for a nice Silver-Laced Wyandotte pullet. (As if I won't bring home tons of other stuff! *snorts*)

I'm looking forward to it!

Alright!

I just got two more flats of local strawberries! I'll be making up pints ($6) as well as the half pints, and also more of the smaller 4oz "gift" size... Any of you who ordered strawberry in 1/2 pints prefer a pint rather than two half? It'll give me a better idea how many to make of each. And if I have any energy left, I may make a batch of my cinnamon boysenberry - it was really popular at the spring swap.

I'd better get busy! This swap is coming up really fast!!

There's the link to the PDF, if anyone wants to put some flyers up. I will get some put up around Madras and will stop wherever I can next week in Redmond/Bend if I am able to go, I should be able to.

Looking forward to the swap!

WallTenters, you asked about table geese at one point.

I was just offered two very nice Buff American ganders, this year's hatch. They are in Terrebonne. I can't use them. Do you want me to put you in touch with the woman who has them?

I don't know how she feels about having them eaten because she contacted me when I was looking for breeding geese. She was "make an offer" on the price.

I'm sorry I've got no place for them. They look very nice in their photos.

 

[WallTenters]

Yes Oregon Blues put us in touch.

Strawberry-Lemon marmalade!

I was making the extra strawberry jam, and came across this recipe, and of course had to try it. It takes a bit like strawberry lemonade!

I have 6 half pints and 6 4-oz'ers that I'll be bringing to the swap.

WallTenters, I sent you a PM with the contact info for the geese. It didn't seem polite to slap her name and phone number out on the internet.
