Hey! Just wondering since I'm new here and idk where else to look. I know there was supposed to be a thread (I thought) for buying/selling/swapping birds according to your state. Can any of you awesome people direct me to the right thread by chance? Pleeeeeeease?

when I was in Florida, my nephew came to visit . he brought along two kayaks.
took me out for my first lesson. the surf was too wild on the Gulf, so we opted for the calmer waters of the canals.. the alligator lying on the shore , canals.. let me tell you, I did not tip over even once.
Later on this nephew started out in Portage Wisc, paddled down the river to Florida, cut across Florida and paddled up the Ocean to the Great lakes. came through the Lakes, and made his way back to Portage..
He was all alone and the trip took several months.. He can wipe that off of his bucket list.. He and his brother started at the head waters of the Wisconsin River late in the fall of 1999.. the went all the way to the Mississippi River.. by starting that late, they can safely say they were the last ones to do it in the 20th Century..

yep, he was mugged near New Orleans, and also robbed of lots of stuff out of his kayak along the Mississippi river, too.. the police did recover most of the items, but not before he had to replace them..
all was not bad, though. many people along his route were watching his daily email posts. and he was invited in to many homes along the way. those nights he didn't have to camp out..
when he started in Portage, he had to slide the kayak over the ice to reach open water.
It was after Thanksgiving..

Today, Annie helped my locate the over grown grapes. the weeds and raspberries were over six feet tall.
I managed to mow all around the grape roots. still have a lot of hand weeding to do. while I was at it, I mowed all of that raspberry patch down, too.. long overdue.
that Cub Cadet is one awesome mower..
there is a maple tree growing in there with a 2 1/2" trunk and about 10 feet tall.
another smaller box alder too large to mow over. I will jerk that one out with the tractor..
in two minutes I have to go take the meat loaf out of the oven..

Howdy, neighbor! I think you could ask on this thread, or you can check out the Buy/Sell/Trade forum: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/#buy-sell-trade.67 That forum is grouped by type (hatching eggs, different ages of chickens, etc) instead of location.

There's also the swaps forum: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/swaps.16186/
