Plastic totes form walmart, big lots or any dollar store work GREAT!!

That is something I didn't even think of! We have plenty of those.......was considering using the cardboard boxes from petco until I can get a chance to get DH or someone to build me a transport box

Cat/dog carriers work well too. Just make sure you put something in the bottom for them to stand on for traction.

That is what I was thinking of......but ours are all occupied. Which means a bigger out of pocket cost right now....I just do not want to spend much money! DH saw pink carriers today at petco told me to get some ....I was

at the price and wouldn't get any

My silkies like the color pink

I ordered a 15lb feeder and it is YELLOW. They are scared of it. But they love my pink rubber boots

mix in cayenne pepper, that will turn it pink!

We are setting up tomorrow starting at 2pm. Let's hope the mud isn't too bad and we can get everything out of the storage trailer.

I will post tomorrow night which building we are in.

The show is mostly set up and ready to go. There should be almost 800 birds in the show. The cage tags will be hung Wednesday and I will get final numbers then.

We did get the heated building. I am not sure where I will set the BYC table up at. Whether I set it up inside or out will depend on the temps that are forcasted that day. I will wait till Wednesday to decide.
