Shows around here are 80-90% bantams. The amount of Standard has increased over the years, but still the bantams are more popular for show. They take less space to raise, less food, and easier to work with. The bantams are really good for the kids in the Junior part of the show to get them interested in exhibiting. Alot easy for a kid to handle a 1-2 pound bird then a 8-14 pound show Cochin/Brahma.

I should check my SLW and see if he is pretty enough to enter

There is no fee to setup to sell at a show. The parking lot will have quite a few folks setup to sell.

Healthy birds only. Make sure you have enough cages for your birds so that they are not over crowded. You will need to provide food and water for them. It is a good idea to bring boxes or something for buyers to take birds home in. Not everyone comes with the intent to buy, so they don't always have carriers.

**LEGAL STUFF**
If you want to sell at a Show, Fleamarket, or other site away from your property you are required by NC law to have a Green Card(License to Sell Poultry in NC).

If you sell the bird from your property then you do not need the license. If you arrange the sell and then deliver off your property you also do not need the license.

Here is the link to the PDF Application for the Green Card: http://www.ncagr.gov/vet/forms/BlankPoultryDealerApplication.pdf

REMEMBER
you are applying for a license to sell chickens which is a Poultry/Ratite Dealer. That license is FREE. They run from July 1 through June 30 of each year. It takes less than a week to get the Green Card from the time you stick the Application in the mail.

Just a question......so if I do not live in NC I still need the Green Card?
I won't be selling, just asking for future reference
 
I just gave one a bath to see how she is going to dry out......She still has pin feathers

Right now I am thinking 4 birds for me.....my luck it will be zero by the time I am through sorting them out.

And I have NOTHING to transport to the show in......
