I am not sure when swaps start still new to them.

How about 8 till whenever?

I won't be there that early. I was thinking more 9-10am.

Wheres this swap in delaware? Mite wanna go sometime. Is it open to anyone?

 

[minihorse927]

Mlaff, are you going to the swap at Stevens21?

Just for reference. If you guys figure to go a swap like The Dayton Fancy Feather Club swaps at Eaton, most sellers are set up by dawn, and the quality stuff, and best prices get's picked over pretty quick.

Shew. DH is already complaining about my going. Since he works until the wee hours of the morning, there's no way we'd make it there anywhere close to dawn. 9-10 here also at the earliest.

Any time is good, I personally am early riser =)

If anyone wants to come out early they are more then welcomed, later is fine too.

Looking forward to putting faces with names

I wasn't suggesting you guys should start yours so early, more of a heads up kind of thing for novices on how some swaps tend to operate.

More than a few times I've seen people come strolling in to a swap late morning saying" Shoot, I was hoping to find some (insert breed here)". When there actually had been some rather nice ones there, 4 hours earlier.

Same deal with sale birds at shows, early bird gets the worm, as it were.

Hey all! Sorry about dropping outta sight for awhile...

I just heard from Scott at Champion Feeds in Delaware that the swap date is set for OCT 5TH...WOO-HOO!!

I'm still trying to figure out how to run a swap, so any ideas would be awesome. So far I know to start it early...any other tips from the wise ones??

VERY EXCITED to see some peeps!

 

[cluckitall]

Oh, outstanding, blessedchick! I will definitely be there for that one That's only an hour or so drive for me. YAY!!

I live in Xenia Ohio and I have 6 Delaware Chickens (1 Roo, 5 Hens) that were born on March 2nd, 2013. They just started laying one week ago. Right now we are getting about 4-5 eggs per day. The problem is that now they want to migrate into my neighbors yard and my yard is just too big to fence in. We are looking into Re-homing them for that reason. I would like the chickens and their coop to stay together, but would also think about separating the two if it works out best that way. Is there any local chicken lovers who would like a young beautiful flock of 6 Delaware's? Only $250. The coop, which was more than that, was built for us about 4 months ago.

Thanks,

If you do separate the coop and the Delawares, how much would you sell the coop for?
