I transport all my birds with big, old, thick towels in the carrier - WAY less messy than shavings. Also helps give them something to grip as they ride, and they're warm.

Not a bad idea!

Karen, I may just need to send you some lav eggs. DD isn't ready to part w/ her boys yet.

Oh yeah, your boys are GREAT! I'm telling ya, Muggs, you are gonna love these guys ... they are so beautiful!

BTW ... your puppies are absolutely da bomb.

Can't wait for my girl to come in season.

Haven't had a litter for a year now and I miss my puppy-breath fix.

Ya, Lovins, you are SOOOOO outnumbered here! But, we luv ya anyway, gurl.

Great news...thanks! Don't mention Min Pins to my husband...it is one of his favorite dogs!

Okay...this is where I'm stuck. I am after a few more silkies (have 36 in the bator from Catdance/Karen

hoping for a decent hatch)...was going to the swap with the intention of picking up a few more from sq lines/breeder stock. Gretchen, Acid, Sportster Jer...you guys are bringing some of your own and from infamous Bob? I would like to focus on solid colors and BEARDED...I'm after white, black, blue, buff...but still open to any other color set before my eyes. I'm easy!

I remember pictures from way long ago...this thread is so long I might get lost trying to find it. (Gabby-num-nums all of us.) What are you guys bringing...how many, etc., etc. If you want to PM me prices, that would be fine. I want to be prepared and not have to hock my wedding rings on swap day!

(Edited to add...BEARDED silkies)

Thanks,

Meagan

I need to add...Nat...great job on those eggs!

LOL thank you folks I hand paint some-I use rub ons for most-but I do have to paint a few coats of clear coating with the gloss to give it that crispy new look Im home sick today as well as DD and when Im sick I cook-and craft as much as possible .. I have 50 eggs blown out as of this am-DD helping to the duck eggs-wow those suckers are think-I also just got done cooking a 30 eggs quish-with all the egg yolks-sauteed onions-green peppers-bacon yummy!!!!! Also cooking more of the chili-I start from scratch with chili and cook a pot of sauce all day with kidney beans-then day 2 cook beef and drain then add to sauce to thicken all day-then it will be frozen--I think its 5 gallons of chili??

Ah, we can always count on Jer to liven things up around here!

Yeah, but I think Lovins was thinking of a 3 letter word and Jer is thinkin' of a 4 or 5 letter word.

I use a 1 ounce needleless syringe-I poke holes on bottom and top-suck out all contents and then blow out the rest if needed ( those are kept in seperate bowl si my germs dont get in the food!) LOL I dont have photos of the finished ones but will get some when they are done??? at some point in time-like I said It tales me a full week to make these with all the drying time and such:-(
