question, tayfray, do you have the permit for pheasants???? remember, swaps are for legal sales only and and both buyer or seller need to have the permits.
i contacted tayfray and she does NOT have the permit yet,and is only looking for info at this time even though that's not what she has posted.

Hi guys just thought I would let everybody know that I am looking for:

•Pheasants
•Quail
•Californian Rabbits
•Silver Spangled Hamburg Chickens
•Chicks (both bantam and standard)
•Fertile Eggs (I want to load my incubator, I have a 42 egg lg, and it works really good, I have 14 in it now and it has been about 10 days and every single one is developing)
•Runner ducks
•Bantam chickens
•Standard Chickens
•Mini Rex Rabbits
•Rabbit coops or cages or dividers.
And a lot of other things So if you have stuff like this, Just wanted to let you know that there will be a buyer at some of the swaps and stuff!
I will be attending the Wilton, and Augusta this weekend (31st, 1st) as well as a few like the 15th of april, and the 28th.

update on scrape info on sheep and goats.

all goats or sheep leaving their farm (going to a swap, show, walk around the neighborhood or sale of any kind in or out of state) need to have a scrape number. this number is on a tag or can be tattooed on the animal. tags are free and so is the applicator. the person needs to call Gail at the fed USDA 866-873-2824 and she will send out tags for the farm and the applicator. the tag is a way to trace back to the farm of origin if there is a problem. so if a person has a goat that was bought elsewhere and it has a scrape tag, it doesn't need a new tag as long as that tag is still attached to the animal. if the tag comes off, the current owner needs to put on their scrape tag. if they go the tattoo route, it's placed on the ear, thigh, or tail fold.
I will also place this info on page one.

I know where you can buy a sportsman incubator (the big kind) in really good shape. I don't think it will be at this swap but it will fairly close by.. price is $450, maybe you saw my earlier post regarding it.

I am off to the bank to get some cash for the swap tomorrow

I am looking forward to seeing what there is that I did not know I needed until I saw it, LOL

Does anyone ever bring fresh eggs to sell at the swap? I mean table eggs to sell to the public.

I've brought them but only sold 6. hatching eggs might sell better this time of yr. I think at the skowhegan swap someone was selling eggs (was that gordon hill??) it was before I knew anybody on byc.

I haven't ever brought eggs to a swap, but I always have extra, and I will probably bring some to the Lewiston swaps....
