Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

Hello PA, Im located in Sharpsburg, MD... about 35 min. from the line below Greencastle. This year will be my 5th year organizing a poultry swap and the 3rd year doing it at my farm cause it just took off. We are expecting 1500+ shoppers and over 100 vendors on June 8th from 8-2pm. ...would love to have more vendors. We accept anything farm related, handcrafted, homegrown, homemade or recycled so it doesn't have to be just chickens at The Maryland Poultry Swap & Farmer's Market. We typically see many different breeds and varieties of layers and lots of exotics. We also see homemade soaps and lotions, salves and candles, local honey and produce, flowers and veggie plants, horse tack, used and new tools, basically anything you'd find in the country :)

Here's our website: http://mdpoultryswap.blogspot.com/

We are located at

5329 Mondell Rd.
Sharpsburg, MD. 21782

Hey guys, this is Omelette, one of the seven two month old chicks I finally got yesterday! She seems to be a RIR mixed with something, but I cannot be sure. I now have one black australorp, a couple of RIRs, one RIR mixed with americauna, and a few unknowns. Any guesses about her gender?

That large red comb is a dead giveaway at ten weeks.
 
Hi everyone! Hope you all had a nice memorial day weekend. :) My efforts to break my broody silkie have been in vien.... So I think I am going to shove some eggs under her. If she won't get off the nest i might as well let her hatch out some chicks for me. :)
 
Vineyards at Grandview. Only opened a couple months ago.


We were there in February....they have rather dry wines...and I like sweet...so wasn't fond of them.

Sounds like a plan!
 
Wait, sorry, would it make a difference if I told you she/he was 10 weeks old? I literally just opened an email from the woman I got her from.

Omelet, is Omelman. Its a rooster. Even at 10 weeks, that is a huge comb. The wattles not only are they growing, but they are red. The comb on a hen, won't get that red until right before she start to lay.

I am sorry you are disappointed. It happens to everyone, and the person you got him from might not of known either, or they did??????
