DS dropped one of his Tech Decks outside the coop last night, and I left my camera inside -

The skateboard was just the perfect size for my Bantam Cochin chicks! I couldn't help but introduce the chicks to the new set of wheels!

Whee! This one got it moving!

and I also had this of my 3 boys I left in Winlock - ran to the fence when they saw me

Those pics are so adorable. i really had to tie my hands when I went to the feed store this morning. NO more Chicks, NO more Chicks, NO more Chicks, NO more Chicks, NO more Chicks! Just had to say it over and over.
Ok, Whew, made it out alive or alone anyways.

I'm so excited!!!!!!!! Finally got a place for our Poultry Swap in June. We will be doing it on Maine St. in Spirit Lake. YAY!!!!!!! We'll be including a farmers market of sorts, so if you want to do any crafts or bring fruits or vegies, just let me know. Here are the details.

What: Meet/Greet/Swap/Sell/Potluck- this may change to a local food vendor who has a great sandwich/catering business in S.L.

When: Saturday, June 25, 10:00 a.m. - ?

Where: Maine St. Spirit Lake, ID

What can you bring to swap or sell? Chickens, hatching eggs, other poultry, supplies, crafts…
For those bringing poultry, please make sure to bring a tarp for caged birds, or bring a folding table (no contact with the ground). We want to keep the ground clean and keep the birds from picking up anything off the ground to carry home. All birds should be checked several weeks ahead of time for evidence of mites/lice, and treated appropriately. (Our intention is not to offend…we just want this to be as clean as possible for all involved.) If you plan to swap/buy, bring extra boxes or crates. (we’ll try to bring a few extra boxes.). Also, we recommend that you bring a bottle of hand sanitizer for use between handling birds – again, just a safety precaution. Also if you have a tent cover, it would be advantageous if it gets hot.
If you would like to ell some crafts, that's fine, just need to know what so that I can list on the emails and keep all updated.

Please list what you will be bringing to sell or swap so that I can update the list.

I will supply name tags; please check with me upon arrival.

Potluck: I’ll bring a large folding table for potluck items. I'll make sure to supply the grill so we can have hot food as well and I’ll bring hot dogs and buns. I'll create categories so we don't have too much of one food group.


If you don't have anything to actually swap or sell, thats okay, it would still be fun to have people come and participate.

One thing I do ask, is that you leave all four legged critters at home. Especially with not knowing a specific swap site right this moment, it will be easier to keep the drama down.

I am going to organize a raffle, please bring an item under $20 if you would like to participate.

Call Melissa at 208-659-7594 or email [email protected]

And we have a Hamburg egg! I really need to get the nest box in to the cage, but I was so excited about getting the egg out I forgot to put the laying box in until the gate was closed!

mixed feelings there - it's sweet they recognize me, but it made me feel all that more guilty because they trusted me and I betrayed them. I got rid of 2 more cockerals earlier this week, but since they were not friendly, it did not bother me. They had a good (short) life

My 2 Exhibition Black Orpingtons are definitely boys, It will be hard getting rid of them unless I know they will be going as pets.
