You can find my page on the left hand side where it says "view my byc page"
I haven't decided on a price. I am open to offers. It works perfect and just hatched a bunch of ducks out of it a couple of months ago. It is a european model with the weird plug that is a 220v but I have the adapter to change it to an american 110. Works perfect and holds temp perfect.

OK I am a ding dong and forgot I took the pictures off my page like 100 yrs ago. Anyhow, here it is....

I have decided to have the entire swap in my south pasture. There are loads of trees for shade and that way
a. no one has to lug their birds from the pasture to the yard
and
b. there is less concern of biosecurity since my birds have never been in that area and never go to that area.

Just trying to make sure everyone feels safe(safer) with all the talks going on lately about biosecurity. This is as far from my coops as I can get. Of course anyone is welcome to look at my birds and use the restroom if necessary. My birds are not ill, have no signs of resp issues and never have. I do use reasonable biosecurity (in my opinion) that I don't go in my coop with my street shoes and only my mucker boots. I do have a seperate area for new birds away from the coop that is used to quarantine for a month on any new birds added. All birds that I have, have been here for over a month and are very healthy.

I do have water out there (hose) and can also supply soap of that would make people feel better so you wouldn't have to walk to the house just to wash your hands if you didn't want to. I just want people to feel welcome

Any suggestions or improvements I am open for any and all

My only suggestion would be to rent a portable toilet for the event. That way people wouldn't be in your house, with their "chicken shoes" on and it would keep all of our "germs" from our birds in one area.

Not saying that we have germs just thinking of the bio security.

We could put a can out for donations to help you pay for it.

I would think you could take your shoes off at the door or find a nice fat tree in the pasture, LOL. We're all farm girls, right?

Not really sure I can make it, Gainesville is already 2 hours, and this is further.
