Sorry, that is it. I didn't even see the mottleds, but if they were on the back rows I did not go that way. They were judging that section and I only went through once. That was all I could take of that building.

They were the same bottom row as the black cochins, just way at the back. There were only 3. I can't believe i forgot to take a picture! what a dork I am.....

Had a great time.

Didn't take a single picture.

Meant to get one of the BYC peeps while we were there, but before I got around to it we just all kind dispersed. Enjoyed meeting some new peeps and seeing some other peeps again

Beaner, on first run-through it looks like there are few shows nearby June-August. Will have to look in more detail. That makes sense, though, because it will be HOT out and a lot of birds start to molt then, too.

Sept is the TVA fair show, but that one they want the birds to stay for the whole 9 days. (9/9-9/18) Any fair shows are this way, to entertain crowds. I'll still enter a few birds in the TVA show. $2 per bird and they feed them for the week. Its a good place to sell birds too, and you can if you show some.

Oct 15 is the new show in Sevier Co.

Oct 28-30 is the Indiana show. You could ride up with DH and I if you want. You will NEVER have seen so many birds in one place in your LIFE....

Nov. 12th is the next Cocke County "Something to Crow About" show.

Nov 26th I have a Carpet City show on my calender (GA)

I'll have to look again for shows in GA and KY this fall.

Emily and I learned a LOT. It was great to meet some BYC peeps and others. We even managed not to bring home anything live. We bought one of those cool green foldup pens and a show box from Mr. Treadway and we won the silent auction for the little Silkie statue.

Everyone was soooo helpful.
