I might also be looking for some SLW and NH eggs... I am just looking for some pretty birds and good layers. Some I could breed but not for showing.

MIGHT consider chicks or birds but my car space is limited.

Wish I could beef up my pens they keep crewing through the chicken wire. Took out all my neighbors chickens.
Theres 5 of them.

Oh Freya,
I am so sorry. Beef up those pens girl! Was this at the farm? I saw a really big racoon on my front porch the other night. The possums don't scare me as much as those racoons. The hens are perfect...every time I try to touch them they squat! I can't wait till they get out of quarantine! and neither can the roos.

I booked a room for Friday and Saturday nights. See post #1 for hotels and rates.I got the impression that several have already booked rooms. I was planning on leaving for home Saturday after the show but the last time I had a flat tire on my trailer I was towing and I was changing the tire in the dark.

Yeah that chicken wire won't stop anything. I have a little bit of 6' 2x4 and a bit more of 3' 2x4 (section of old fence we pulled up building new pen) that you can have if it will help any.

I put electric wire around the outside of my fence. If anything touches the wire or fence you will know it. I have heard critters come in contact with mine. I use chicken wire. There have been times when I have forgotten to turn the electricity off and got zapped myself. It made my heart skip a few beats. I'm sure a critter that weighs far less than I do really feels it too. I guarantee they don't come back for seconds.

I have never shown before, I'd like to show some ducks maybe at the Calhoun and Newnan show. It seems the web information is geared for people who may know something about showing. Should I just call random peoples phone numbers to find the answers to my questions like: My birds came from pullorum free flocks, are ducks tested for this? They mention testers going to be there, can I bring my birds , have them tested and show them at that show? Do we bring our birds in our carriers and then they provide show cages, or do I have to make, buy, rent some? What kind of security measures should I take?

 

[Sugar Sand Farm]

You can have your birds tested when you check in. They supply the show cages you only need carriers to bring them in. They also supply food but it is up to you to feed your own birds I usually bring food from home as it is what they are used too. They do have security at the show so dont worry about that. If you are afraid you can always get those tiny locks for the cages but they have to be removed before judging. Hope this helps IF you have any other questions call the show secretary Beth Smith she will give you all the info you need Hope to see ya there Micki
