Hey! Where've you been? Are you okay?

I'm alright, thanks for asking. I've been lurking elsewhere

Just a quick greeting since I won't have time in the morning! Leaving in a few hours for the livestock sale, bringing along lots of bunnies to sell, some chicks and juvenile chickens, and even one adult hen.

I'm going to need LOTS of tea and/or coffee, lol!

Morning all!

Bird swap today. I'm mostly going just to look. I do have a pair of goslings I'm bringing, because I nabbed them from work for a friend who wanted geese, bigger geese than my Romans, and of course you have to buy six, so the last two need to find a new home, haha. But otherwise I sold everything else I would have brought!

I'm sure I'm gonna come home with stuff. I mean, look what I did yesterday. I found someone local selling guinea eggs and -

I gotta say @Pyxis thats a lot of guineas!!

I won't keep them all, haha. It's a mixed color flock and I really only want the pied, white, royal purple, or lavender keets that hatch. The majority that hatch will likely be pearl, so those will be sold.

What all do you have in poultry and are Emus considered poultry?

 

[Canadian Wind]

Got back from my livestock sale about an hour ago. Haven't slept in over 24 hours, lol! Getting a bit punchy, if you know what I mean!

Sold everything I'd brought: 6 adult rabbits, 6 x 7.5 week old bunnies, two OEGB cockerels, three OEGB chicks, and two Cochin banty chicks. And I have several people interested in my upcoming OEGB hatch!

Everything except one rabbit buck sold within the first hour. That buck took two more hours before someone finally took him...

Should be another sale in September, I'll try to have more available!

Well, I did say I'd do it:

Me? Emus are considered livestock, but not poultry, I don't think. You CAN get them tested for NPIP certification though, so maybe? I don't because my tester is scared of them, LOL.

Otherwise, I've got my ducks, of course, and my geese. Some turkeys, some quail, some pigeons, and now some guineas in 28 days hopefully, haha.

Oh, and chickens. I almost didn't include chickens in my list.

Are the Emus friendly to you @Pyxis?
