Last Chicken Swap - 2012 Season

In spite of the chilly morning, we packed up the trailer and trucked on over to the Powhatan Tractor Supply Store for the last PCOV swap of 2012.   We didn't anticipate large crowds like we see at the beginning of the year, but it was a surprisingly busy morning for such a cold and windy one.   We brought three silkie chickens who all found a new home, four roosters who will be a nice Christmas meal after some fattening, a Serama hen who lost her mate who also found a new home.   Our Rhinelander doe, Tatianna will have a new Flemish boyfriend but the dwarf bunnies all came home with us along with two new rain barrels and one metal barrel that will be turned into a compost tumbler from our friend Stanley.   All in all it was a very nice morning.    We're already planning our breeding pens and anticipating a nice flock for 2013.
