What’s a poultry meet up and swap?

[JadeFarms]

I was looking on The Poultry Show Central and saw that we have many of the meet up/swaps in FL. What exactly happens there?

 

[FortCluck]

Usually a lot of breeders and people who hobby farm bring their chicks or chickens sometimes there’s goats and dogs and puppies...

It’s basically a yard sale but with chickens and chicks and other livestock animals.

I actually sometimes go to them to purchase chicks from breeders that I know or to sell some of the chicks that I have.

our swaps are a huge thing and they have food trucks and people who make things for animals like dog cookies, chicken saddles, dog leashes, and all sorts of other things.

It’s a great way to meet local breeders.

Oh wow that’s really interesting, I saw many around fl so I may go because I’m interested in getting some more birds. Are there usually show birds there? How hard is it to get in and sell birds? Is there an age limit for the people that go to them? Sorry for all the questions.

The one I go to, it’s free.

Maybe it's free to go, but if you sell you have a fee? I know some of those events

For the ones I have here, I have seen show quality birds- and also just plain mutts. I don’t think there’s any age limit, I’ve seen five year olds selling goats.

Is can be occasionally, it depends on the meetup.

Yeah, some of those could be like that. The one I go to is at my local feed store, and it’s free to sell stuff.

Yes there are show birds. It’s not hard to sell usually you just show up and set up a table. There is no age limit from what I’ve seen.
