other than the date and time, and locaction, each site is $10 to park and sell birds (a space slightly larger than a parking spot).

there were probably over 100 people selling things last fall, I think. never saw an exact count. but the place is total chaos. it was great. 8)

quoted from pcov website from last fall's swap...
Quote: I and a friend will be there. 8) i'll be bringing whatever i can hatch between now and then.

possibly including any of the following, depending on what i have available to hatch...
red and silver grey dorkings, lf and bantam blue laced red wyandottes, bantam cochins - mille fleur, blue/splash, red, buff, buff columbian, mottled and possibly blue mottled, possibly some swedish flower hens, and Easter eggers (unique, possibly feather footed or crested, or both).

I haven't decided if i'll bring and sell my 3 buff orpington girls. they're sweet but just kind of hanging around without much reason (except eggs).


swap...

I have nevver actually been to one but someone told me it would be easy to get rid of a rooster if i had too, would i have to get a spot to do that?

Joel said there were over 200 slots at the last one. Without a space you would have to carry your bird around until you were able to make a deal. From what I saw last year, folks of varying ethnic persuasions would come around towards the end of the event, with boxes in hand looking for cheap roosters...

sweet im not sure yet but i think i got one, i am gonna check this out for sure. Do they advertise at all?

 

[lori stetson]

Going off subject here, but has anyone ever ordered from Stromberg's? I was looking on their site and came across the "Show Quality Bantams" and I wanted to give it a try if they are actually worth it.

pretty sure their 'show quality' birds are coming from duane urch. and it's cheaper to order from him directly, even with express shipping.

their 'show quality' birds match what's on his list, and i know the dorkings come from him.
