I like the plastic crate idea, but am just wondering how I could modify them so I can get the eggs from the top, since the crates would be next to each other in the nesting box which will be accessed from outside my coop....

Are there rules for bringing chickens to a swap? I'd like to go to a few and look around.
This will be the paperwork that is filled out... So every bird entering a public swap gets a tiny drop of blood drawn and mixed with a drop of antigen for testing. The numbered band is on there to prove that it was that particular bird and breed on the paperwork filed. It can be done in advance and sometimes there is a testor present that will charge a fee for doing this. If not, you'll have to check with the MPTL for a certified testor in your area. I believe this paperwork is good for 90 days, so you don't have to have them retested in that time frame if you have multiple venues. Now also note, there are 3 boxes...1 is for our annual breeder flock test, 1 is for just sale birds, and 3rd is for exhibition. So like in fall if you are showing and want to bring along a few extras to sell, you have 2 separate slips.Thank you - can you explain more about the leg/wing ban
d?
I hope it was a good sale day for you!I'm not really coherent at this point (haven't slept since Thursday night yet). The swap in Hutchinson today was larger than I've ever seen it. Buyers and sellers were out in full force. It was absolutely everything... game birds, ornamental pheasants/ducks, small pets, house type birds, and tons of poultry finally. I saw a ton of people that I know from the fall poultry shows I have to give my friend Jean a HUGE thank you. She reserved some sale space for me on Friday night already. Otherwise that whole coliseum was packed to the brim and anyone that rolled in Saturday morning had no space to set up until some left. Thank you Doug Randall and the whole crew with Game Breeders for all the work into hosting this event! TY to all the buyers and sorry I couldn't be in 100 places at once. The minute you walk in there, you absolutely get bombarded.
