hi everyone, I have started a thread to list the swaps in NH. I wanted to invite everybody in Maine to add your swaps to the list. You never know, someone might be willing to drive for just the right animal. here is the link

I believe there will be another swap in Augusta in October, this one is going to have a fun match, not a chicken show, just for the regular backyard breed, and a possible pumpkin carving contest. It should be a fun event. Of course its Free Range's event! I'm just babbling about it!

cant wait either!

I do not do any announcing anymore.
Reading online here is all we really need to know the whats what isn't it. I put ads in Uncle Henry's and Craigs list, the store its at and a few posters around town, and ask others to post a sign in their favorite business place.

I'll have to ask Chickn, or anyone of you, but do you advertise only online or do you place dates in just email? Either way, its great, and I do want to say that if folks want to add the dates, between each other - New England, it is a great idea, especially when your looking for good breeding stock.
Personally I have advertised online, phone, clubs including yahoo clubs and never a single taker for birds. So eh, I figure if someone else eats them, don't tell me ;0) and I just give them to someone that would probably do so.

On a greater note, wasn't today a beautiful day!

I have advertised the chicken swaps on craigslist under farm and garden usually 1 week prior to the event.
