And then I drove up when you were leaving and got the rest of his lav Orps. I loved his huge Silver Sussex roos. So tempting. And the Lemon Cuckoos. and him. What a lovely gent. We started talking chicken, and he ended up asking for my phone number...for recipes!

I let him know about the swap at FFS and the WCA, so may see him at one or the other.

I am not sure.... but I think you will need some kind of permit or license or something. I know you can not just set one up anywhere you please, even your own property. I think the reason they have them at the feed store is because they go under the stores license to sell. You may want to make some phone calls to the town, county or maybe someone here can jump in.

At least in our area there are NO special permits needed to hold a swap. The only recommendation is that those selling have their green card from the state to sell. Again, one of those things I cannot enforce but if a state officer were to come and ask to see it and you don't have one you could get a fine?
