Can I show them...?

[paigeandclyde]

Hey guys, I got some chicks about a week ago. i'd say they're about 2-3 weeks old right now, and i want to enter them in the Orange County Fair in the beginning of August.
Will it be okay (and safe) for me to bring them and show them there, as they'll only be about 2-3 months old? I believe that qualifies them as pullets, but i don't know if it's a good idea to expose them to new chickens and who knows what at this age.

Would you guys say it's okay to show the little guys then? I have to sign up tonight, but i just don't know!

~~~Resolved, i'm not bringing them ~~~

Those would be waaayyy to young to compete at all. I have always been told to bring chickens that have just started laying or are close to. Also if they are hatchery birds you have zero chance of winning against SQ birds. It would be safe to bring them as long as you treat them after words. I just recently realized you had to quarantine after shows. Wish I could tell you what to treat with but zi can't remember what I was told.
