I may want to buy more cages. I have been building a few but it is hard for me and they look like crap. Don;t laugh when you see them Sat.

I have so much to do before we leave Sat! Ack! I can't imagine how busy you are, Tricia!

Don't bet on it, Allison! There will be some in the raffle!

I'm the one that helped you get the Silkie roo out of the cage back in Feb. at the Morganton show when you all won it in the raffle.

Maybe it's a dumb question, but what should be used for transporting the birds to the location and what should be used to keep the birds in so people can buy them. We have the plastic dog crates and the fold up dog crates. Thought about using the plastic crate for transport and the fold up crate for showing. Would this be ok? I've never sold chickens before or transported anything bigger than baby chicks. Sorry, totally new to all this. Only bringing 3 to sell and if all goes well likely leaving with 3-4 we buy.

I am bringing some in plastic dog crates in a few sizes and a cat crate and a wire dog crate, several old Guinea Pig cages (plastic bottoms, wire tops) and am covering them up with a tarp in the back of the truck. Chicks and youngsters are going behind the seat of the truck in Guinea Pig carrying cages. I have lots of those.

Some people may use those wooden produce crates to haul theirs in or have some neat well made hardware cloth cages.

You should like you have some good stuff to haul them in.

I think Debra is hauling her Ameraucanas up in a goat crate and I am not sure what we are going to put my ducks in. I am hoping Kimberly is going to bring a big crate over in the back of her truck when she picks them up tomorrow night.

It looks like it may be a bit windy on Sat. but that should keep the temps from feeling so bad. Just be careful not to let chicks get chilled that morning.
