I just wanted to remind everyone that our club “The Gulf Coast Poultry Fanciers Association” is hosting our first large Poultry Show November 9th at the LSU Parker Coliseum in Baton Rouge, La on the campus of LSU. The deadline to enter this event is October 29th. For more information please...
I have heard both that you can show with wing bands and that you cannot show with wing bands on your birds. I have shown with them on before and have never had a bird DQed for it but have only been to a few small shows. Can one of the Judges reading this thread please clear this up for me once...
Bob,
I do both wing band and toe punch. If you go on you tube you can find a bunch of vids that explain how to do it...it's really no big deal. If you have not moved on this by the time your next show comes around I'll bring my tool and some bands and show you how to apply them and remove them...
Vickie,
How do you have this door set up? I was thinking about doing something along the same lines with a door but with Juveniles that are of different ages but that are in one big grow out pen together. I want the younger birds to be able to retreat to a safe zone with food and water in there...

I have lights!!!!
Not the best pic I know but....I was able to get all my lights up and running last night and I took this pic this morning as I was leaving for work!! I ended up putting a light in each pen, on a switch with an outlet. Last night when I was checking everything I noticed...
My 3yr old is a little girl...she is awesome!.
(This was our first show, the birds were entered in her name)
We did not find out when my wife was pregnant for her but with the new baby we found out early (it's a girl also) so we could start preparing Bug for the new baby's arrival. We even...
