I am kinda a newer person to the group, but i really like everyone I have met from this thread. I am sorry to say i will not be able to stay for long on Saturday because i have to get down to Salem to teach a class. i tried to get out of it, but couldnt, cause i would much rather be with my chickenm friends! Anyway, I know there was this tack shop in Brookline NH an the building is now vacant, but it sits on a large piece of land and I am wondering if there would be any interest in holding swaps there during the hotter months because there are trees and grass to set up on. My sister knows the owners and may be able to get permission for us to use it. Any ideas???

Thats sounds nice, Is it in a busy area?

It is on the intersection of rote 13 and 130 on the hollis/brooklin NH line. It is a rally nice grassy area with a large building in the middle. there is a paved area for parking and I think it would make for a nice livestock swap location. I think as long as there is interest and I know that I myself have turned several friends on to free ranging chickens for bug control and eggs, we should keep the swaps going. As for it being hot, I think most of us have tents and we are a smart bunch that know how to keep our animals out of danger. Of course, I could go to a swap every weekend! i am leaving for KY in a couple of weeks and am allready looking into chicken breeders in the area I will be staying.

I would like to see the swaps go through the summer. If everyone uses common sense the chicks and animals should not be in any danger. Most people have cars or SUV.s with AC. I wouldn't put a bunch of birds in crates in the back of a hot pick up with the sun beating on the birds. They have swaps in Florida with no problem. We just need a place with shade and lots of drinking water and common sense. If it is a very hot day and we don't think it would be safe for the birds and animals, I just won't go
