It's from 7-11. This is big time chicken country so I would assume this is a pretty big shin-dig. Krypto and I are making the road trip from the eastern panhandle of WV... about 2 hrs... if we're lucky

Im bringing a mille fluer cochin roo, some rosecomb youngsters and a mottled cochin pair.

Is anyone else coming? If so, what are you bringing?

So it's only a $1 per vehicle?No fee for bringing birds?


If so, gosh I'll probably be able to bring coturnix quails, maybe a silkie chick or two.....mostly interested in seeing what others have!

msbear, what are you selling your millie cochin roo and your mottled pair for? Or are you strictly swapping them!?

 

[Msbear]

The mille roo came all the way from California but I have another nice roo and have a good looking cockerel so Im cutting down on the roos. I'll take a pic of him tonight. He's already showing good looking type for mille fleur but he has a lot of black in him. He's F2 generation ...F1 being birds out of mille cochin roo over Tom Roebuck's buff columbian hens. I may have a pullet to go with if I can sex them in time... hatching a few now.

I was thinking $20 a bird .. they are rare but still need work.

My mottleds are bred by Jamie Matts. I had them sold a couple times but I live in BFE and couldn't hook up with anyone. Im asking $30 a bird.. what I paid. You can see pics of them on my page and also on the cochin breed page https://www.backyardchickens.com/breeds/breed-chart

I would love to keep them but I don't have the room. I hatched out a pullet to work on type with my milles but now need their coop Warning: Jamie AI's all of his birds and you will need to do that or trim them heavily. I trimmed early this year and hatched a couple eggs I have some in the bator right now but haven't trimmed in a while so Im not very hopeful.

Im going to call Ed or Steve and see what the regulations are... if we need npip or Avian Influenza testing. See ya there!

that i know of you wont need to be tested now if you're showing you do least so far that i've read no one seems to worry about that for swaps least not that i've heard of for the uniontown swap meet thing

I am VERY interested in your cochins!!! I havent seen them yet but will here in asec!

Please let me know if you do find out we need Npiped because if we do i can't go LOL! well ican go i just cant bring anything lol



I think im going to be buying your mottled pair if you're deffinatly going and going to bring them! If so would you perfer me send you money already? If so I can send you $60 next week for them and pick them up at the show!

As for AI i know how to do it so im not concerned at all i if I have to i have to

 

[Msbear]

I just spoke with the guy who does the swap and it is $2 per vehicle charge to sell all the birds and poultry parafinelia you have and no testing requirements for in-state birds!!

Im already having a minor anxiety attack thinking of selling these birds.

I've been going round and round with these guys but they need to go. I can get some more when I have the land. I'll hold them for you. ... and just pay me at the swap.

btw- what are the biggest variety of quail that you have... I've been really considering starting up a pen on my fathers farm for some good eats.

well if you can't sell them just let me know dear I wouldnt be able to buy them if you had doubts. BUT if you are sure about selling them holding them for me is awesome of you!

$2 eh boy that's gonna break the bank

LOL good i assumed they didnt need testing so that's great!!!

Looks like I'll be bringing a pigeon pair or two iwth me as well then

My biggest ones are my jumbo goldens and browns (they are in the same pen so most of the offspring will be golden). ANYWHO if you are interested let me know and I'll hold some for you for the swap

No prob!

 

[Msbear]

Oh, great. I tell my hubby Im going to these things so I can get rid of birds ...and now I'll be coming home with birds

but at least we can eat these ...not much meat on a rosecomb cockerel
