Well, I just got back from the swap at TSC and I have to say, I was very disappointed. Every bird I was interested in had mites! A lot of the, did not look well cared for. My wife says that it seems to her that I just take such great care of mine that I probably have too high of expectations from other people's chickens. I talked to a guy about his silkies and he said they were his breeders from last year and were $6.00 each. He had hens and roo's. I looked them over and they were crawling with mites. When I pointed it out, he said all chickens have mites. Mine don't! If mine had mites, I would treat the, immediately and would not be out there selling the, until they were clear. I didn't look at every chicken at the swap but the ones I did look at closely, didn't look healthy. I'm really disappointed.
