There will be a large area set aside for the breeders to sell their birds. but I would recommend getting there as early as possible for the better ones.

How much do the chickens normally sell for?

Truer words were never spoken!

It's easy to get caught up in the action and leave there with an empty pocket.

There is no easy way to answer that. It depends on the breed, then the variety, and the quality, and the notoriety of the seller, etc. etc. etc.

Remember, this is the Nationals so expect better quality and higher prices.

Nothing I take there will be less than 50 per bird and I don't know if I will have any that low or it isn't worth hauling them a days drive.

How early should you get there if you plan to buy?

For the best birds plan on being there when the sale aisle opens.

Do you know when that is?

Your best bet really is to contact the sellers that are going and have them bring birds just for you, reserved in your name. Of course, you should bring extra cages for the birds you didn't even know you wanted!
