Quarters, eh? Ba ha ha ha! That's hilarious.

I'll bring my "vacation fund" jug...I'm sure there are plenty in there!

Jeremy and I will be bringing some Silkies from Bob, too. B/B/S variety, straight run, as they were just hatched yesterday. (unless someone can tell what they are at a month old)

Also, we will have Mille Fleur d'Uccles, and maybe some Polish chicks.
We will be bringing a WC Chocolate roo, but only if someone wants him. He is about 6-8 months old. Have to ask Gretchen for a better age guess.

Yes! Put me down for silkies! PM me on what they are going for.

I may need to come back to edit pictures in...(Edited to add...)

This is what I'm bringing to the swap: PM me if anyone is interested...

2 sets of breeding trios of Silver Ameraucanas
1 Breeding pair (possibly trio) of Black Jersey Giants
1 Buff Ameraucana roo (I'm still debating on bringing all four 2 hens/2 roos)
1 Blue Copper Marans roo (going to chicken stalker)
1 bantam Buff Cochin roo...though he may be donated to the turkey fryer...he's a pisser! (Napolean complex!!!)
Let me know if you want hatching eggs...(Lav Ameraucana, Wheaten Ameraucana, Split lav (if we need more), Black Ameraucana, BCM/BlueCM, Welsummer, Salmon Faverolles)



These are some of my pics:

precious precious precious!!!!

great photos and that split is so yummy looking!!!

When they are that little I sit with a chair and just watch them for hours! thank goodness my broody's are doing the incubator for me Id be whipped. I have another broody that has been sitting on 4 split lav eggs-1 OE 1 EE and 1 white orp again. I think I would be keeping my white orps if I had a trio or quad but to make more pen space-Im selling them:-( they are onyl 6 motnhs old but so huge and pretty!

Dangit! Sonew...I may just put myself in the ring for your white orps. Can you send me a picture? PM me on what you want for them! And help me "sneak" them into the vehicle before we head home from the swap! DH is going to fly off the handle...he "thinks" I'm dwindling the flock...poor man doesn't fully understand chicken math.

your birds are beautiful!!!

I know right?? Trust me when I say it wont break my heart if these guys dont get sold-they are very sweet and loving If I had a trio or quad I would so keep them!

I waited a year to buy those eggs and have a go at hatching them! I would have had a better hatch too if I didnt rot with incubating on that batch-From HinkJc's birds
She is laying and her eggs are fertile-even better you can hatch out more when you get them I posted them once before when i was thinking about selling them and Ill post here for you to see what I was asking 2 months ago-cant find it ...I have them for 45$ for the pair...a few people told me to sell for 50-60$ for pair but I just cant fathom that much-they are worth more than that to me but Im biased ...LOL

The split is soooo chubby. She is almost as chubby as the BLRW is.

I have a camp chair sitting next to the brooder, so that I can sit and watch them. It is so calming after a day at work. I couldn't wait to get home today and get them out of the bator so that I could play with them.

MUGGS What color Silkies do you want? I don't think we got any blacks, pretty sure they are blue and splash. We have 2 whites, also. We are keeping the split (too precious to give up until we know the gender)

You guys are seriously killing me... you know that right?

acid_chipmunk...I need to go back and edit my earlier post...it looks like my chicken list was made for you. That's what I get for typing tired.
I'm getting worse and worse...I really don't have a preference over any of the silkies. I would take both of the white and at least 1 blue...I am even open to splash! Out of my 9 silkies, I don't have a roo! So I'm hoping for a white roo and a blue roo...I'll cross my fingers after the swap. Let me know how many you may have...I don't want to take them all if you only have a few.

Sonew...they are perfect for me.
