I live in Miami and her teacher (Agriscience) says that is a fact when entering Miami Dade County Fair

Best thing to do then is to go right to the Fair and ask.

This is what you need: http://www.fairexpo.com/thefair/pdf/exhibits/2012/Ag_Handbook/Divisions/12_Poultry.pdf.

WOW !!!! That is exactly what I need. Thank you. You must be local. I need to get my chicken checked and get a tag for chicken do you know where I can get her checked. My local vet is domestic animals only. You are a life saver.

Wow! Now I've heard it all.

Is the chicken bilingual? I heard they have to be to place well in Dade County.

I'm JUST KIDDING, please don't report me. Good luck at the fair.

How about a receipt from the feed store?

Or just make one up & add a couple pics of her as a baby?

I would think the certificate would include the day the chick was hatched. After all, does YOUR birth certificate include the date you were conceived?


I surely hope you took baby chick pictures for its baby scrapbook.


And you did take its little paw print on the day it was born, to make sure that your baby chick wasn't mixed up with any others in the breeder's brooder, right?


LOL

Local only in the sense that I'm in Florida, but the more northern half.

Call the fair people. There's a person in charge of the animal exhibits. Likely one specifically in charge of the poultry. Ask him if they'll be doing testing at the fair site itself which most shows usually do. It's usually a nominal charge. Be a lot less than a vet visit. Talk to the folks and many, many questions will be answered for you.

I don't think you need one. That teacher's a bit... odd. Where would you get one, anyways?
