I went to the Hutchinson Swap, it was the first one I have ever been to so I don't know what to expect. I was hoping to see more different types of birds there, but, there were an awful lot of pigeons, there were also some quail, peafowl, some call ducks ( not a lot), one Cayuga female ( looked like a blue to my untrained eye, but, they called her a black). Like 2 Salmon Favorelles, some Marans ( maybe 4) a couple of Buff Orp roosters, an Australorp pair, couple of Brahmas, someone brought a load of Sex-link hens and pullets (when I say load, I mean load had to have been 100 birds stuffed in there!
That was about it for chickens though, I didn't see a single Cochin, or Wyandotte, or Silkie...
There were several people with non bird critters though, a couple of ferrets that were the cutest things! Couple of goats, several kennels of dogs ( pups) many rabbits, rats, hamsters, and guinea pigs.
I bought nothing, I didn 't think there were any terrific deals for me.

Just made it back from New Ulm. All I got was another serama hen.

They were selling a pair but my niece wanted the rooster, which was just fine with me. She ended up with that rooster, some oegs and some sebrights. My one sister got another trio of peafowl (young ones again), a call duck and a couple of chickens. My other sister didn't buy anything, we all had a blast though.

Lots and lots of laughs.
