Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

We went to the show last year, and plan on attending again this year. It was great.

We also went to a butterfly "garden" not too far away... called Magic Wings, I think. It was definitely a day for taking photos!

As a spectator, I am really excited about this show. I just attended my first show in November and was BLOWN AWAY by all the lovely birds.

You do realize, at this age, the sex can't be guaranteed. Too youg, I'm sorry.

But I will bring a bunch, you can pick as early as you get there.

I will be there Friday afternoon (as long as there isn't a blizzard) Or PM me your number so we know where each other will be.

Does any one know what the entrance fee is?? I expect only exhibitors get in for free.

I seem to remember a parking fee last year.

Exhibitors were given a pass...

THere has been a fee when attending other events so you are probably right.

Which buildings are used for this event? It is at the complex where the Big E is held, right?
