CHICKEN SWAPS OF NH SWAP LISTINGS

[Fyremare]

I will be looking for hatching eggs over the spring and summer for the following:

Wish List

Purebred Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucana
Purebred Silver Ameraucana
Silver Laced Wyandotte (preferably non hatchery)

and a shot in the dark for...

Rose Comb Brown Leghorn and maybe some Marans (Cuckoo or Blue Splash would be sweet!)

Will be using broodies to hatch, so unless I find a friend with an incubator I will want only a dozen or less at a time.
Would prefer to pick up at a nearby swap or pick up arrangements. I live in Springfield, VT
Might also be willing to split a chick order with someone close by.
Thanks to anyone who can help me out!

Make sure you send in the all the paperwork to the USDA. I think there are a lot of people who think they are NPIP just by getting tested by the state, that's not the case. Look at this list of NPIP certified farms in NH, it seems much shorter than one would think based on everyone getting tested.

Thanks! I'll be sure to do that. Do I have to wait for more paperwork to come back from the state first?

Yes. Msg me if you need help sorting thru it.

Thanks, I will definitely contact you if I can't figure it out!

I have a handsome fellow available, if anyone is interested in him:



He's a bantam roo. I got him as a chick from nhnanna last July, he's a cross-breed and I'm not sure what his parentage might be. He's got five toes and feathered legs, so I imagine there's some silkie or something similar in there somewhere. His comb is interesting, it's bifurcated at the back, I'll post a pic that tries to show it. He's also super friendly. But he doesn't really fit into any of my breeding programs, so for me he's just one too many roos. Anyone interested? One of the other chicks I got from nhnanna in that same batch was also a bantam and she turned out to be an olive egger, so this fellow might carry that gene too. Here are a couple more pics:
