I haven't been following this go 'round, but the Jefferson State thing just before the Pearl Harbor included some southern Oregon counties, as well http://h2g2.com/edited_entry/A81024428 so if this time includes the entire area that it did then...

I will! Hopefully there will be some Oriental games for sale there this year... closest I could find last year was a pair of Cornish. There were some beautiful Shamo there, but none for sale!

hope you find some

I want to go. Still new in the chicken hobby. I want to go and check it all out before I start buying.

You should definitely go! It's amazing to walk into a 200' long (maybe bigger?) warehouse type building and be greeted by literally thousands of roosters crowing and hens cackling. Last year there were probably 2000 birds... this year I think the APA has a meet going on so there will likely be even more! I know this show has seen 3000-4000 in the past.

Just beware of the for sale section. Last year I went there telling myself I was only gonna buy an oriental pair of they had them and nothing else and ended up coming home with a pair of Cornish, a trio of Silkies, and a very lovely Mille Fleur (Spangled? Speckled? Jubilee? No one breed agrees on what the color is called) Bantam Cochin cockerel. Funny enough, the cockerel was the most "just for fun" but I got, I actually had plans for the Silkies and Cornish, but as it turns out he's been the best purchase from that show. Besides him I only have the Cornish and Silkie hens from the show left; it turns out two of the Silkies were boys (bratty boys!) and the Cornish cockerel was a jerk of a whole 'nother level. But my little Carlos has been the lead roo in the bantam pen since I got him, he's produced many sound and healthy babies and is very sweet and gentle with his hens.

You will very seldom see Orientals in the sales area, but some times people will sell them out of the show cages. There will be some Ko Shamo's for sale.

Will they be your Kos? I've seen pictures of your stock, amazing birds. I'm a big Ko fan but in bad need of a cockbird, I have only three hens at the moment. In all honesty I am in bad need of a hen as well, as my hens consist of one decent and two less than good quality hens - they were largely purchased as pets.

I will be showing some Ko's in Modesto, but I had not thought about bringing any for sale. If you are interested contact me a bit before the show and I will see what I have that I will let go.
We are looking at an entry of 3500 to 4000 birds at the PPBA Show.

Is anyone going to the ppba winter show in modesto on January 30th?

I will be going, my daughter is doing 4H showmanship and showing her buff brahma bantams in the youth division. I don't get my birds until next weekend at the the Gold Coast show near Holister so they won't be eligible to show.
