and SO much more! 

There is no admission fee. 

At this time, there is no vendor fee either. 

If you've got a hankering to attend this most fantastic event as a vendor, keep in mind it's got some extra excitement! Unlike the Fall Swap, this is an OUTDOOR mostly-self-contained swap venue. This means there will be no electricity available, no tables or chairs, and no building for shade. You must contain yourself, and your entire set-up. (Or constrain yourself? Nah! Not a chance!) See? It's exciting. It's adventurous. It's.... well, just know that it's gonna be great. 


Do come prepared with other options for heat if you have small chicks, such as hand warmers or battery operated heat. Bring shade or rain protection depending on the weather, as well as everything else you may need to set up your swap area. There will be plenty of empty green space for you to fill with your pretty poultry, cuddly critters, and handsome handiwork. 

Restrooms are available at the park. Thank goodness. 

VERY IMPORTANT NOTES
Do not look away now

1.  We take the welfare of your animals, and the health and well-being of those around you very seriously.
 If you have an animal that is displaying any signs of illness 
DO NOT BRING THEM NO MATTER WHAT. 
If you don't know what we're talking about, then take a few minutes to read up on our Sick Chicken page. 


2. I know it seems silly to have to say this here, but for the entire duration of the swap, you must have water available for your caged animals. Furthermore, if your animals are overcrowded in cages, it is highly probable that this swap will be your last swap with us. Seeing animals in distress often causes humans to go into distress. This makes swaps ugly. We only want happy, healthy and beautiful swaps.


Ok, enough about that. Let's get on with the fun!
If you're interested in swapping, selling or buying with us, you can either jump on to the Spring Poultry Swap forum at BackyardChickens.com, or send an email with what you have to offer or what you may be looking for.


Hope to see you in May!

Swap Meet Origins

This Oregon Poultry Swap site is brought to you by several group members who organize Poultry Swaps around the state of Oregon. We have more than one thing in common besides owning poultry; we all "met" through BackyardChickens.com! Through the joint efforts of many talented, creative and organized (and even not-so-organized) people, we are able to come together and buy, sell and trade our poultry, our homemade goodies, and handmade gifts. Check out the events tabs for upcoming (and recently ended) swaps and meet-ups coming to an area near you. If you don't see one in your area, then it's a good indicator that we need you to start one!
