NJ - Sussex County Poultry Fanciers Annual Fall Show

[mame1616]

Right now - barring any vindictive molting at the word "show"- I have:

3 bantam Faverolles, 1 roo, 1 hen, 1 pullet
3 LF cochins, 1 hen, 2 pullets
2 LF orp pullets
1 JG

See what I mean about the bathing?

Sorry for the newbie show question, but I have never been t a "real show" before. Just tiny fairs! Will there be a sale section? Will anyone be selling any silkies?

Never be sorry for a newbie question - we all started that way, and it's the only way you learn. I can't believe how much I have learned in the past six years! I still pick the brains of every good breeder and show expert I can find at every show - and I definitely sound like a newbie to them! I got over that embarrassment pretty fast after encountering the nicest people on the planet - poultry people! I've never met anyone who wasn't willing to take the time to patiently explain every question I had. Always ALWAYS ask questions!

Every show usually have some sort of sale area - some shows are known for it. Ours comes and goes - some years the cages are packed, with a waiting list. Some years there are a lot of empty spaces. You never know what you're going to find - except a lot of roos. That's a common element in EVERY sale area.

Less than two weeks!!

If you want good birds, come early. The best ones are usually sold out FAST!

Yeah, like 7am, so you can watch as they are unloaded from the carriers.

Can't wait for this show! Mame, thank you so much for inviting us! This is going to be our first show and the kids are so excited. They love their birds so much and have been asking when they are going to start showing them. We are bringing 10 bantams with us.

Jersey you only have one or two......the silkie gods usually let you have the pleasure of hatching 10 boys out of the dozen eggs you set in the bator!
