This was my first show to go to and I thought it was really great. I was hoping for some blue wheaten ameraucanas but I didn't see any. How common is it for people to sell the birds that were entered in competition? I got a show list and stood by and tried to call people who had birds that I was interested in buying at the show but couldn't get ahold of anyone. I think the ones who had numbers listed( some didn't) were home phones and not cell phones. As this was my first show maybe this is not a common way to do things. I can always try again once they are home and see if they have fertile eggs for sale, but my understanding is that show people don't usually sell fertile eggs. I have alot of questions as I am new to this and although I'm not really interested in showing myself I'd like to buy some show quality(Or atleast a good representation of the breeds that I like) To my own back yard flock. Are there bigger shows that this? I'd like to see a show with more vendors (chicken products and accessories). How are the national shows? Any reccommendations? The last thing is I took some pictures of some nice birds at the show and would love to post some for the people who didn't get to attend, but as they are not my birds I don't know if this is o.k. If anyone knows if it is o.k. let me know and I'll post them. Thanks and it was a great show..
