Will there be hatching eggs for sale???

 

[DYNO360]

I plan on being there with my Chicken Crates.

 

[Blarneyeggs]

Wow! Those crates are awesome! I too would be interested in hatching eggs. I wonder if it's too late to register?? Hmmmm.....

 

[DYNO360]

Thanks for the compliments. I take great pride in making my crates. If you just want to attend, I would "google" Mid-Atlantic Poultry Expo and see what info you can get. From the literature that I received there will be seminars on egg incubation, as well as lots of other topics.
If you wanted to be a vendor the deadline for registration is Jan. 27th. If you plan on bringing birds, they must be tested by Jan. 25th. I don't think you have to register if you just want to attend, but check their website for more details. If you decide to go, stop by my table and take a closer look at my wood products.

Looks like there are two threads for the same show. Not much activity on either one. Is anybody going?

We would like to attend. We are members of the Jefferson county 4-H Saddle Club.

Thank you so much for this great program. We learned a lot, the presenters were all knowledgeable, the vendors were great and the cost was perfect.

If you do this again, we'd definitely attend!!!

Great turn out for the first year. The people that ran the show were very accommodating and I met a lot of great poultry fanciers.
