There will be a Poultry and Small Animal Swap meet in Garfield on Saturday, May 5th, and then every first Saturday of the month after that from 8am until noon. NO COST! There are rules, but you can bring your cages and pens with critters and meet like minded people. It will be at the FLYING RF...
All poultry transferred from one person to another, unless on the sellers own property, must have a NPIP blood test or face a $1200 fine or up to a year in jail.... Needless to say, I'm not a fan of being put in jail and I don't profit off of the swap, so I really didn't wanna start $1200 in the...

Just over 2 weeks from now. I will be bringing lop and lionhead dwarf rabbits, young white leghorn mix roosters, white leghorn and golden comet pullets, and farm fresh eggs and fertile eggs for hatching. I've had emails from people saying they are coming and bringing turkeys and chicks. Another...
Hey I wanted to pass on a new thread for a POULTRY AND SMALL ANIMAL SWAP MEET in NW Arkansas. This is what my wife and I have been working toward. I couldn't find a local swap meet to get fresh blood in our small flock, so we started our own with the help of our local feed store. Here's the...
