Well I'm coming with 2 PURE Ameraucana and 1 BCM roosters. All are 6mo old with good attitudes.

This was taken from the Market Bulletin:

Any person engaged in buying live poultry of any kind for resale, or in selling live poultry of any kind bought for the purpose of resale, must be licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture. Possessing such a license does not by itself disqualify an individual from advertising poultry in the Market Bulletin; however, advertisers should note that all livestock (which includes poultry), must have been in possession of the advertiser for a minimum of 90 days or, in the case of chicks, ducklings, etc., must have been raised by the advertiser before offering them for sale in the Market Bulletin. Mallard ducks must be at least three generations from the wild before they can be advertised in the Market Bulletin. Advertisers must include this information in notices submitted for publication.

I don't think that that law will apply to most of us at this swap, we are not poultry dealers... That license- from what I have read- is for those people who are buying and then re-selling birds... Most of us are selling our own personal birds, atleast I am...

Now that makes more sense, that's how I would interpret it too. I mean, how on earth can they possibly expect to police everyone who sells a chicken in the state of Ga?

So what is everyone bringing to display chickens in? right now all I have is 30 gallon totes and a roll of chicken wire. I was thinking of creating a small 2' circle pen for them with deer netting on top so people can actually see them. Also, is anyone bringing a net to catch any runaways?

I had not thought of that, but it would be a good idea if someone had one.
