WHAT YA GOT SWAP Chat Thread

[meepitqueenie]

thanks crossgirl , my daughter is the only one i got so she gets lonely. when she was young and changed for barbies at age 3-4 to pokemon... i decided i had a choice learn about what she is interested or not. so i chose to and my hubby didnt. so glad i did cause to this day it gives us something to talk about. i learned all about pokemon, have my favorites (i like grass types) and have my own deck when we play and i'm pretty good at pokemon. even had a ds game etc and played for a long while (now im not sure were my pearl game is) i'm a little rusty on it now.
the neopets i played with her online and the card game is new to me. we need more cards i guess cause its played differently than pokemon. so i got creamed but she had fun. and for once not hiding on her computer. so it does give us bonding time.

thanks crossgirl and b-hep for the waterbottle help. i cant wait for emvic's eggs to hatch and my ee i was setting that cage up last night and hubby was like why are you putting bedding in it.... im like cause i told you the eggs hatch next thursday.... and he looks at me funny. lol. i was like i told you hatch date was the 8th. oh i know you told me that. I guess he didn't realize so soon.

I am so excted i look at everyones chick pictures and want to scoop them up.

oh so question for the peeps that have seramas. i know they have 3 different weight classes. but what about colors? cause like they seem to be all mixed colors. does color matter? does anyone breed for a specific color. i know i should run to go read my SOP but wanted a simple answer i guess.

so do BLRWs lay a light brown egg???????

i know i'm full of questions this am. like a kid... LOL.

Meepit.... Yes BLRW lay light brown eggs
as far a Serama...... Yes all colors and yes some breed for specific colors. I think White & Black due to APA standards, not sure which color is recognized or both. Tons of info here on the Serama thread of SCNA website. I breed mine for pretty colors or feather type. I have 2 frizzled hens and 1 just started laying. Also have a silked rooster.

Speaking of serama's we took some out to the show yesterday here in NC. Between my friend and I we had 11. She took Best of Breed with a very small pullet and one of my small young cockerels took Reserve of Breed!

Not a pic from the show but this is my little guy.

Ok so now i want seramas... i will put them on my want list i looked up the breed website, very informative. i also like that you can keep mixed pens.

so japs have a leathal gene- do seramas do as well or that's not an issue with them? japs when you get the 2 short legged genes the chicks wont hatch its sad to see them develop and not hatch. so looking for an additional banty breed.

so looking for bantams in:
seramas,
ees
marans
barred rocks
rirs
of course japs

oh and congrats on your win

UPDATE:

Ok yesterday 2 eggs quit and 1 hatched. The one that hatched was one of the sizzles and didn't absorb the yolk and didn't look completely formed, then it died after an hour . The last egg is a GLC and is in the bator and should hatch today. I went and saw the goats again yesterday and they have grown so much since the lady sent me the picture. I get to pick them up next saturday.

Good Grief I had to read up on a lot of pages. My internet has been down for days.

Well went to the craft show yesterday. Didn't do too bad. I sold some soap and some canned goods. I sold 4 of the tote bags and sold the most of the Hand Towels I had. I was shocked. Everybody wanted the hand towels. I got my table fee back and made some money. Also handed out some business cards. So hopefully I will get some business. Took pictures of what I have left now just need to list them.

No one bought the aprons though. I made 4 more of them so I took 7 and not 1 sold. Everybody looked at them but they wanted full Aprons. Where as most people usually wants half aprons. Can't win for loosing.

Here are the new aprons I made.

 

[kimisfishing]

anyone know what kind of chicken this is?

 

[RHRanch]

Reese, Maybe sell the half-aprons with say some matching towels or potholders all bound together with a nice ribbon? Like make a apron set to get them to move at the next craft show?
