    Sackman, how is the Greeley swap? I went a few years ago on the fourth of july weekend and there was hardly anyone there. Is it every month and which Saturday is it? Is it usually pretty good? I only have Saturdays off normally, I had to switch days to get the the brighton one this time.

    sent you a e-mail- jdopler, did not realize you were colorado till I checked this thread. I am not at the Stock Show this year, and probably won't be going in the future until they put the show back onto a Saturday like everyone else does. They just make it too difficult for poultry people...

    Quote: Its easy to get home really quick if you sell decent stock. It takes us about an hour to get to brighton from our house, but it takes us 15minutes to sell out of about 30 roosters and 4 hens (basing off the last one we went to) We usually make a day trip into Ft collins afterwards but...

    on the forms that you sign and send back (form vs 9-2 Flock selecting and testing report, your number is located where it says approval number. the state CO and then the number. Colorado is 84 for the state, so my number is 84-60 or CO-60, however you want to list it. Thats how they give you...

    Quote: The swap is mostly a "meat market" for the hispanic and the asian folk, but, if you really do not want them to go that way, just price them out of their range (anything over $10 will usually suffice) The ones after birds for meat will generally do a "3 dolla, I take all) kinda deal...

    The "four ladies" who were there taking samples do that at every swap and show and are with the Colorado State University Avian Surveliance program, or rather, our version of NPIP. They come out to our farm every year and all of them are very nice poeople and are NOT trying to shut things down...

    The Brighton swap is good, but, chickens sell better there than ducks. Try not to think about where they are going or who will do what with them, otherwise, you will set yourself up for a lot of birds you cannot get rid of. President of my club is Eric Fulenwider, (720-629-2939) who just...

    no, but geese can get pretty noisy sometimes. Our did and their water was a MESS. We had to get rid of ours so the goats could have clean drinking water. I would put the plastic or wooden eggs in the nesting boxes for a while and take down the extra wood for privacy (not sure I understood that...

    Yeah, I would look to move, sorry for you. And, this is not helpful as I do not live near you, Northeastern Part of Colorado, however, my property is zoned AG, and the other side of the street from me was considered "In city limits" "Town of Hillrose" now, they all have had livestock over that...

    I just did a listing of pet quality silkies for sale various ages, unknown sexes. These come from my show stock, but do not make the cut for me to keep, foot problems on the black/blue and whites, curled foot, 6 toed, others are odd colored, white from black breedings, buffs are great, too much...

    Quote: Yes, that would be our president Eric. He sells feed and sells LOTS of birds every year (Hatchery ones and others that his kids raise for show.) Silkies do fine here in Colorado, however, mine do not go outside in the winter, mostly because they have such large crests they get lost a...

    Quote: Yep, that was the Feather Fanciers. I want to add to what CityChicker said. Many states have great turn outs at their state shows. I know that when I go to Kansas and New Mexico, their shows are enormous!!!! Wonderful to see what other states do. Colorado has not really been much for...

    Quote: Most of us showers did not attend the stock show this year. They crammed it all into one day, release was late at night, and the show was on the third floor. The stock show people have no idea how hard it is to get all those birds up 3 flights of stairs with only a hour to do it all in...

    Quote: I live out in the eastern plains and last week, we got colder than you, -28°F that night and about that for several more. I do not heat my coop anymore, have not for years. All my birds do fine, I just keep them inside and their doors closed. My silkies even have frost on their backs in...
