about your rooster, Lavmom.

Thanks, this really helps a lot. I'm still pretty new to all this--at least, selling chicks and chickens and doing it as the adult! You have given me the backbone I need. I'll modify the flyer/posting to remind people only healthy birds will be allowed to stay, and enforce it. I'd rather have fewer people come but leave pleased than have everyone go home with a brand new disease for their coop.

I've already put in a note that people should bring their poultry license (often called a greed card, right?) and sent off for mine. I'm also advertizing that people can sell goodies (home baked treats) if they like, but now I'm wondering if I'll tangle with a regulation by doing that. I'm planning on bringing a Costco size bottle of germex, do you think that's enough of a precaution or should I nix the baked goods? I confess, my kids were hoping to sell some cookies and brownies to raise money for the birds they're hoping to buy at the next show.

Schemers, that they are!

From what I remember baked goods are fine as long as each item is individually wrapped, but that would be appreciated by customers too and easier to sell. There may be something about labeling, but I think that was more for an actual business.

Good luck with the swap.

Thanks! And thanks for all of your patience while I obsess!

What's silly is, I really don't have that many birds I'll be able to bring. But, I want it to go off well cause that's the only way I roll!

Well my middle son helped me put plastic eggs in the nestboxes for the chickens. Maybe they will figure out what is supposed to go in the nest soon!

I did notice some redder combs on my EE hens. I'm just ready for some fresh eggs! Plus I want to see what color eggs I get from the EEs!

You are very welcome. You can't know answers if you never ask questions.
