Hey all, I really want to enter a couple of my boys in the Bolton Fair this year, but the entry form is freaking me out! Maybe some of you seasoned entrants could help me a bit? I just have a few questions...
1. How do I get state leg bands? (Massachusetts)
2. How do I get my birds tested for Avian Influenza and Pullorum Typhoid?
3. How am I supposed to get "Proof of Ownership" when I didn't buy these 2 particular birds?
4. I don't know of any poultry veterinarians around here, so I don't know how to go about obtaining a "health certificate"....the same goes for any kind of registration, I'm not a member of the ABA or anything like that...
I'm figuring most of my answers will confirm that I really can't enter the show, but I'd like to try....
This is the link to the Bolton Fair's page, all the requirements I've questioned are under the "Exhibitors" tab in the "Livestock Entry pdf"

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me!
