much ado about VA

[bishopschickens]

I have heard of a few of them but wouldn't recommend them. The big swap at Gilmanor is good and they have the state vet out there. Some of those smaller swaps do not have the state vets and many sick birds have been sold. We even used to attend them but to many problems. I would recommend finding someone on craigslist or asking around and find a breeder locally. We breed marans, blrw, polish and other breeds as well! you can check us out at www.bishopschickens.com

the swap at Gilmans is typically the first saturday in May. There were some changes last year in the fall, so I am not sure of the date yet. You can try checking that Virginia Poultry Breeders site. They usually list it.

that is a fantastic swap meet. As anywhere, know what you are looking for and decide for yourself if the bird meets the standard that you want. There are birds of all qualities there!
