I have 100+ assorted chicks due for hatch this weekend. I'm located near Cambridge, Oh if anyone is interested. My birds lay all different colors & hatches will be sorted by color of egg hatched from.

How many do you think I can smuggle in a purse undetected by my husband?

If your purse is anything like my wife's... probably quite a few. But then he'd notice the mountain of stuff you dumped out of your purse to make room for eggs and the jig would be up.

What's best to use to ID birds? I want to band the chicks i have at some point. Would wing bands be worth it if i don't show? I am thinking of getting either the spiral bands or numbered zip ties. The regular bands seem like they would be hard to get on a Cochin without messing up the leg feathers.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I just started using the numbered zip ties this year. I really like them.

Picked up a dozen Buckeye chicks from SRHartley on Tuesday. They are in the brooder and doing well so far. Almost forgot how quick little chicks switch from on to off.

My # zip ties came from strombergs. The #'s are already wearing off less than 6 months later.

Hey all! I just found out that Champion Feed in Delaware is having their Poultry Swap on Saturday, May 30th. Still plenty of time to fire up those incubators!

Here is a link to their Facebook page for contact information. They haven't published the flyer yet, but the folks at the store should be able to fill you in.

Let's make this swap a GREAT ONE!!
