There is no calling ahead. First Come, First to pick a spot. The swap is done at the front of the feed store - in the parking lot and on the grass. There is overflow parking in the shopping center next door. There is very little shade, so keep that in mind when you are deciding what to...

I will make a suggestion... Since the swap is not for a couple of more weeks, I would take photos of your chicks and post them on craigslist. In the past, I have rarely had any troubles selling my BCM cockerels through craigslist.

Quote: We went to the auction once. It was our last. why? What happened............... I'll tell you why I don't frequent it..... I would worry about the health of the birds I bought from there. I know some of the BYC people sell their extra roos there, but there are other folks who have...

Quote: Forl pox is spread from mosquito bites or from infected bird to infected bird. It comes in two forms - - wet and dry. The dry form is on the outside of the body and the birds have a high chance of survival without any assistance. The wet form is on the inside of the body and leads to...

Quote: I will second this . .. . I had a fowl pox outbreak in my flock this past winter. . . . I took one of the chickens in and he was put on very expensive antibiotics , over $100 for antibiotics and it was only enough for one bird for 14 days. In order to get treatment for the rest of...

Quote: The store is normally closed on Sundays. They open is especially for us once a month. Hens don't really make any noise so I don't understand zoning's issue. Are people only allowed one dog in your county too? CRAZY ZONING! Do they think Hens CROW ? ? ?
