what sells better at the swaps do you guys find, little babies, 4 weeks,or 8 weeks up?

I'm not knowledgable in this as I have not been a seller. But I do know that when I went to the swaps last year looking for chicks, I was happy to get 6 wk old ones that were off heat. I bet with the new law in place, not having to buy 12 at a time, that the babies will be popular this year.

Glad swaps are restarting for everyone! Really gonna miss it this year! I am happily hatching a little chick of my own around May 22nd! I will definitely be back next year! Can't wait to see what everyone has this year though! YAY SWAPS!!!!!!!

congrats on the new little chick. boy or girl?

everything sells as long as they are healthy.
I will say that it is difficult from a vendors point of view to have 7 day olds.
they need to be under a brooder light.
that means you either need a portable generator or a power invertor that runs off your car battery.
Chicks of any age need to be kept warm. this is difficult to do on a cold windy or rainy day.
Now is the time to think ahead and make preperations for those conditions.

Is there someone in the southern NH who will take blood tests for NPIP? I would like to have that done but don't know who to call.

so glad you are thinking about getting your flock tested.

I have the blue mottled D'Uccles but would love some of the Cochins also. I have black Mottled D'Uccles also and a few black Mottled Cochin bantams too.
