On a side question, do you guys have any suggestions about dealing with sick or unhealthy birds that are brought to the flock swap? I've been talking to the NPIP guys about getting our flock certified and he suggested that, as the organizer, I ask people who bring birds in really bad shape to leave or set up away from everyone else. Not sure that I'd be okay with asking people to leave, but I could politely request, as people show up, that they set up off to the side if they suspect their birds are sick or know they have cocci in their coop/what have you. What do you guys think? Or, should I just let it run its course?
If anyone sets out an unhealthy bird they should be asked to leave immediately. This is for the safety of all the other birds there. There are alot of respiratory problems that can spread by air over miles. Moving to the other side of a parking lot is not going to cut it. As the organizer I am afraid you have taken on the responisibility of visual healthy checker and have taken on the responsibility of pretecting everyone else's birds as best as you can.
The main thing I have always advised is that if you are talking to a potential seller make sure they know that no birds that are unhealthy or have been around unhealthy birds can be brought to the sell/swap. Since you have talked to the NPIP guys there is a good chance that a State Vet will stop by. If in your advertisement you have a place that welcomes any dealers, add in that only healthy birds from healthy flocks can be brought.
Another thing is to make sure everyone that is selling has their lincense to sell poultry(greencard). It is free, but is an absolute for selling any birds in a location off your private property. http://www.ncagr.gov/vet/forms/BlankPoultryDealerApplication.pdf
