Anybody heard anything about how they are handling the swaps at Chillicothe scheduled for this weekend and Lucasville next ? Obviously no birds, but still going forward with them ? I hate to think of the number of folks who haven't yet heard of the ban and get turned away with birds at the gate.

No idea. I was wondering this myself. Hopefully no one travels too far with birds in tow.

Might be an opportunity for an enterprising meat buyer if they would allow it..

Mt Hope has flyers posted everywhere. I watched them turn away 1 guy with chickens & heard about a bunch more. They did the rabbit & livestock sale yesterday, but no birds.

Any Northern Ohioans use sand in their coop? I think it sounds like a great idea but I have concerns. Is it gonna be to cold on chicken feet in winter? Will the poo just freeze to little sand covered rocks? How about wet weather? Yes the coop is dry inside but if the girls come in wet will they just be sand covered?

i live in north east Ohio and do a sand / wood chip combo. It works great for us. Winter time I just use a bit more chips then sand.
