This seems the biggest secret of the poultry world. :-( I hear people talk about shows in a general way but finding specifics of what show on what day at what time in what location is difficult, making it impossible to go to any. Am in northwest AL - when I've asked previously the answer was...
I saw a link for a National show in late October in Indianapolis and am wondering if anyone's shown there before? Are there birds for sale or exhibitors who would bring birds for sale? Is there an admission fee? Any details/info appreciated.
Is this worth trying to fix? Have a Seabright chick hatched that isn't extending the feet/legs. Toes are curled, legs under body (not splayed out) and is navigating but penguin like. I could straighten/tape the toes but any idea if it's reasonably possible to work? I hate to cull it as just lost...
Pick up only - northwest Alabama. Mostly white, August 2010 birds - I have more males than I need or have females for. Will sell or trade for Speckled Sussex, Dominique, Delaware, Cornish (dark preferred) standard chicks or eggs. Also interested in Welsh Harlequin, Khaki Campbell or Ancona...

What are the most/least shown (especially in the south)? Where does one find them other than fairs?
Have a trio of silver and a trio of gold - have liked them and had a chance to pick some up at auction. Probably last year's hatch (fully mature) - one of the silvers laid a few days after but hasn't in about 3 weeks. I understand they aren't known for laying production but it takes eggs to...
Have an assortment that's a couple months old - three of 8 remaining that look alike. They started white with black backs, very energetic (ok Leghorn type spazzes :-) ) - they've turned into black with white splotches. I have a short video but can't post anything to link it at youtube (name is...
