I have a 9 week GLW roo and a 9 week Black Star pullet that I don't have room for if anyone is interested. I am in the Ames area. I got them both from Ideal in September - due to the minimum order I had to get more than I have room for. So far the roo is a very sweet bird. He is also huge! The black star has a lot of pretty brown coloring around her neck. PM me if you are interested. Thanks!

PS - am I allowed to post this here?

Definitely going! Is it basically chickens only or will there also be ducks, geese pigeons etc.?

Ok got a question for Craig, Trish and any and all others ..... There is the potential for a new show, here in my neck of the woods, at the Clay County Fair in Spencer, IA. Spencer is in Clay County. Spencer is where hwy's 71 & 18 meet. Easy to get to and the fair itself is the largest fair second only to the State Fair. Camping available, many hotels, 12 miles South of me and the Okoboji Lakes area.
Question is... this would I hope involve many folks from NE, and SD and MN, IA and more. It will not conflict with Waverly but, depending on the schedule, may conflict with Mason City-North Iowa Poultry Assn. show. I have not asked Bart, but am kinda thinking of a joint effort with the North Iowa Poultry Assn, for example having one club have a show that alternates its fall show? Or, they may wish to do a late June show up here?? This is a tourist area and something for everyone. I am anxious at the prospect but don't want to step on toes at the same time. If anyone has some input or advice, please share it with me.
Thanks!

Don't know if this will work but google Clay County Fair, IA you will be amazed at the size. I believe it is a two week fair, but not sure. It's a 4-H district fair. They have a midway, fried anything, hundreds of exhibits and vendors.

I am all for another show but not to interferes with anything that is already in place. I see no advantage in that. Adding another one spring or fall that does not conflict is what I would like to see.

I agree, Eric. This would be great to see! Your best bet would be to talk to Bart. Maybe something can be worked out to "join forces", but another show altogether would be ideal. This past fall, the Mason City show was conflicting with the Waverly swap and that was not good. There is also the Avoca show you would want to take into account. That's a pretty decent show. I'm sure a good date can be set to bring in more poultry.

It may have conflicted with Waverly and Portage but still had almost the max # of birds they want to have.

Thats just it Trish and Craig, finding the right time. I thought about May but it was suggested to me that many exhibitors birds are not in condition yet.
Perhaps a show that is the same weekend as the Galesville WI show? Think thats the 1st weekend in June?? Maybe mid-late June.
