definatley working to get the waterville swaps going. good luck with the bantams, I think you are the first person I have heard looking for bantams, so many times they are passed over. I had 2 bantams I just sold that laid eggs as large as my large fowl.

If anyone has roosters that they just want to get rid of, please let me know! I will take any and all roosters and could meet and pick up at swaps or other plans, Please PM me or email at [email protected]. P.S They will most likely not be eaten but used for other purposes like fish ties or hair extensions! Thanks!

Wow! I wouldn't have thought of that!! That is a wonderful idea!

I sell feathers naturally molted for fly tying, so you don't need to kill the roosters to use their hackle and saddle feathers.

Excellent plan!

Take a look at the fly tie feather market too.

Folks sell hackles and saddles on Ebay, but there's a method to remove the skin and feathers together that brings the top dollars. Certain breeds bring high prices.

 

[mychookschick]

Yes, I would definitely do it naturally! I wouldn't want to kill them just for feathers! Or even hurt them!

well both young and old, but I am not sure when I am going to see the people again, I will figure it out, thanks!

I have a rooster I am willing to sell. I know at the auction what I can get for him. I'd like him to have a nice home.
he is a blue laced wyandotte, big boy but nice, not aggressive. I'll find a picture and post it later.

they only get about 3-5 dollars for roosters at the auction unless they are like really huge and long tail feathers! But other then a few that is what they go for, I have someone else who is going to give me some for free, so I may not be able to buy, but thanks!
