Does anyone go to the Agusta Expoland swaps? I just ran across it and can't wait to go

but was curious what all they normally have set up? Animals other than chickens? Thanks!

just thought I'd pass it along, if anyone hasn't come across it yet... I went 4 places looking for pine shavings! apparently the distributor or manufacturer (don't remember which) burned down, so at least in the Roanoke area, the only place I've found ANY shavings was at Southern States in Roanoke. and they only had 1 pallet left when I was there.

TSC (Roanoke and c'burg) were both out, as was southern states in c'burg and another local feed store I tried... with no idea when they'd get more. so that 5 bales of shavings I bought cost me almost 100 miles of gas.. should have just gone to my regular place (rke SS) but thought I'd save some miles since c'burg is closer... LOL yeah right!

oh also, Roanoke SS is taking orders for day old chicks (asst breeds) ducklings & 16-18 week old pullets (sexlinks) for delivery (in store) early april.

I'll have to check out the local SS here and maybe tractor supply tomorrow and see what they have left. Hopefully they have some, although if my wife knows they are taking orders on chicks / ducks she may not let me go un-supervised.

Clearbrook Feed and Supply north of Winchester already has chicks for sale.

I was in Winchester and thought I would drop by to check them out. They were selling black Jersey Giants, buff orpingtons, and RIRs.

debating ordering some chicks, but I think i'll pass for now. I've got enough hatching to keep me busy for a while. LOL

btw, re: another thread, I wasn't arguing about the npip thing... nor was I ignoring your post just because I didn't reply - only so many posts in me tonight and that wasn't one. sorry. LOL

looking forward to seeing you (and everyone else!) at Gilmanor this spring tho. someone needs to make Virginia smaller so it's easier for us all to get together more often! or maybe invent a star trek transporter thingy-whatsit.

Tractor Supply said they would be having chicks and ducklings starting the first of next week here in Spotsylvania/Fredericksburg.
