Is anyone going to this that would be willing to swap some eggs (barnyard mixes) for hatching???

 

[stoopid]

I have plenty of mixed eggs, if I go I'll definately bring a bunch.
This just happens to be in my favorite part of PA!

Wow... I would, but I am not selling my cages with my birds. I don't have that many cages. Kind of a silly rule, in my honest opinion.

 

[stoopid]

Yeah, I saw that.... Cardboard boxes a plenty.

You can simply put them in cardboard boxes with wire on the sides and/or boxes with plenty of air holes..... thats what alot of people do.

Hmm....I need to go to this, thing is that I have Langshans. I'd need a half refrigerator box to make them comfortable!

If you box them individually, thereby selling them individually...would that help?

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

Not really, I'd like to get rid of a trio...would duct tape holding the boxes together help?

 

[missydcpc]

I don't know how auctions work...I would think you might get more money by selling them individually..but hmm...yes, duct tape might hold the boxes together more securely. Or post on Freecycle that you are looking for a dog crate... maybe you can pick one up for free to carry/sell the chickens in.
