Heading to the Chicken Swap

Published by Tom at 11:54 am under Family, Homestead

I am pretty excited because we are heading to a chicken swap in Madrid, NY on Sunday. This should be fun to see what other poultry farmers are raising. I was hoping to take a few of my little rooster but I have yet to determine the sex of the chicks. I have read a bunch but I can not determine for sure the cockerels from the pullets.

The swap is put on by the Northern New York Poultry Fanciers and what I hear from our cousins, it is a fun time. There is also an auction on the 18th of May and I am hoping to know the sex of the roosters by then so I can sell some.

Has anyone every been to a chicken swap? Did you buy or swap anything? Share with us by leaving a comment.

    How did you come out at the chicken swap? I have never heard of or been to one myself.

    It was a lot of fun. They had all different kinds of chickens and some goats and rabbits.

    I ended up getting some cages for a cheap price. I did not buy any chickens since I have 27 babies at home and 10 more on there way.

    Thanks for stopping in! Great to see fellow chicken peeps (people). :)
