Story and Photographs by NICOLE CARTRETTE Staff Writer
Chicken growers flock to Cerro Gordo on the third Saturday of each month to buy, sell and trade chickens, pi- geons, turkeys and even some small animals that don’t have wings—like rabbits. Poultry enthusiasts from counties across the region – Cumberland, Duplin, New Hanover, Marion and Horry County, S.C. – mingle with Columbus County growers. They share breakfast, conversation and make their swaps on a grassy lot at the Cement Barn. Trucks line up early and some buyers and sellers get there before sunrise. Ricky Bullard’s family has been host- ing the popular chicken swap for a few years. “Some do it as a hobby,” Bullard said. “Some make a little money and we have a lot of young people buying and learning about the different chickens.” The swap has often drawn as many as 100 people. Howard English and grandson Ethan Adams enjoy the monthly chicken swap at the Cement Barn in Cerro Gordo. The Buyers, sellers and lookers range from long-time farm- swap attracts buyers and sellers of all types of chickens and other fowl the third Saturday of every month. ers from the country to young couples who live in town as small-scale chicken farming has become popular. Parents find raising chickens instills responsibility in their children, and 4-H teens reap the rewards of the pro- cess. The movement toward sustainable agriculture and local foods is boosting interest in backyard chickens. Backyardchickens.com is one of the fastest growing agricultural websites and is home to a massive and diverse chicken-growing community. Swaps like the Bullard’s are very welcoming of newcomers, but as one backyardchick- en.com visitor admits in a forum, it can become addictive. “I’m from Columbus County... my dad gave me the chicken curse,” she admitted. “I have a pair of Black Silk- ies, Red Frizzle Cochin Bantam, pair of Wheaten Old Eng- lish Bantams, Mixed Buff Pair, RIR Pair, Standard Blue Cochin, Single Buff Hen, five Mallard Ducks, and six Am- eracaunas all acquired in the last four months. Yeah I’d say they are addictive. “I am a work from home web designer with two dogs, as well, and I have a husband who is a few steps away from admitting his 22 year old wife has lost it.” Poultry swaps are fun, but one should arrive early, and use precaution should he get bitten by the chicken bug. There is room for birds of many varieties and their owners at the monthly chicken swap Brian Wible, of Whiteville, and wife, Jessica started raising chickens about a year ago. in Cerro Gordo. “We do it for the freshness,” Wible said. “We know where our food is coming from.”
