    There is people who travel to these shows who go out of their way to pick up livestock for money and transport them to these shows. IF you are not already a member of the APA, this would be the time to join and look up who does that.

    I think I wound up paying $150 for everything including the box (lost money). Eggs if the jet goes too high will pop the egg's air sack. I find it is just better if you want them you come and get them.

    I am in Indy. Have had these since 2010. Made them on my own. They are inherent in my White Orp line. Recessive White covers all. My line had the Belgium Buffs in them. So, IF you have Euro lines these would work.
