The Boston Poultry Expo located in North Oxford, MA is a great show for all chicken peeps to attend. I had a wonderful time getting to sit and talk to fellow breeders and friends from here on BYC. I think if you live in the New England Area and can make this show you will love it! The fall show is definitely bigger than the spring show but, both are a great time! I love chatting with Pam B., Jimmythechicken, Little Blue, Celtic Hill, Arielle, Lisafromthenorth, and so many others!!!!
Here are a few pictures of my birds
