Moose Jaw - Market Style Poultry and Exotics Sale - August 3rd, 2013

We just had 4 little call ducklings hatch this weekend, maybe if I can slip away I can bring some, but not sure if I can sex them by then...but can try.

I sure hope you're able to make it! *Fingers crossed* I think he'd probably buy them all just to end up (hopefully) with a pair, to be honest.

I'm still trying to convince my family a poultry sale would be a great place to celebrate turning six. Already have the soon to be 6 year old on board, woo!

I don't think acquiring MORE chickens is going to help my cause any.  

DH asked me the dreaded question last night, "just how many birds do you have now?!" Thankfully there was no need to fib or fudge numbers, because I really don't know the answer myself!

Just say what I do: "It goes up during breeding seas, but it'll go back down"

Yep, ebbs and flows. I just happen to be at a high point right now...and unfortunately, the birds are much too hard to count.  hehehe

We're at at least 100 right now. Numbers will drop again come the sale.

we might be there but wont know until day of as it always depends on Darwin as I dont drive and he works certain days
He keeps telling Lou we will be there so we will see

! Will you be selling?

Not sure if so we will pay when we get there like we did last time with Lou
and depends on the hatch coming up

Okay awesome. If you think you will closer to that day, let me know and I can advert for you on facebook.

I am on the fence about getting a table. I will let you or Lou know when I decide. I would have guinea keets, muscovie ducklings, Ameracauna chicks and maybe a few others. Have to see if I can get organized.

You can do it! That would make, potentially, 9 tables!

GUESS WHAT! More booths booked.

I'm proud to say Grant from McMillan poultry will be joining us at the sale and he brings a variety of chickens and turkeys wherever he sells.

In addition, we have a craft table booked. SPREAD THE WORD! Looking for someone to post flyers in the Saskatoon area.

That is awesome Sweetened you are doing a good job. I am trying my best to get stuff organized to come up there too but still have to see how the rest of this month goes for us and if I can get away, so hoping I can...

Have you got many emails/calls from people looking to buy?

I've gotten a few emails, but not a lot of calls. People looking for goats, mostly, and some people looking for call duck pairs.

Another booth booked! 20 bantam chicks, possibly 6-10 week old guinea chicks as well.

HIDDEN WILL BE JOINING US!

YAYYYYY

She is bringing:

Muscovy ducklings

Buff Ducklings

Australian Spotted Ducklings

1 Pair (hopefully) call ducklings

Assorted Chicks (4+ weeks old)

AND MORE

Another booth booked, received payment this morning.

They will be bringing 25 (give or take) birds:

Polish, houdans, speckled Sussex, light brahmas, Plymouth barred rock, and some amerucauna, welsummer, and golden laced wyndotte roosters.

A friend of mine has booked a table dedicated to Magic The Gathering trading cards for the sale as Moose Jaw's supply of affordable cards and packs are limited. I will be running it for him, however. Spread the word to your favorite nerd.

I can say that, because I'm a favorite nerd

Haha, I used to play MTG with a neighbour back in our apartment days before kiddies. Used to drive DH crazy because we'd stay up all hours of the night getting loud and rowdy. lol Fun times.

I play, just suck at it. Built a wurm token deck, and it can be fun if the cards play right. Friday Night Magic at Comic Readers is a whoooole different level of nerd

I'm so outta the loop these days I don't remember/have a clue what a wurm token deck even is. lol For shame I know.  

Bahaha, I can imagine! There used to be this little D&D shop in Nanaimo that DH and I visited a few times looking for certain swag. One time we went there in search of mini figurines to use with LOTR Risk and interrupted some kind of nerd fest of epic proportions. Dead silence greeted our entrance, along with numerous glazed and glaring eyeballs. We got the hint fast and left. lol Funny when I think of it, the guys running that store never seemed to like having customers. It was more like their front for playing games all day.

LOL Lets put it this way. At Tramps here in regina, the guy that runs friday night magic is named Magnus. I didn't realize Magnus also dressed like an anime girl. Eccentric fellow that one. I'm told he makes a really good 'Vulcan' by one of the guys that runs the upstairs section, and looks to be 70 years old and having never touched another person in any type of intimate manner ever.
