[COLOR=008000]The shows usually run most of the day. As long as you get to them by[/COLOR]
[COLOR=008000]noon or so, you can see most all the birds. The judging is usually over[/COLOR]
[COLOR=008000]by 2 or so.....depending on the size of the show. Owners can not take[/COLOR]
[COLOR=008000]home the birds until judging is over so if you can get there by early[/COLOR]
[COLOR=008000]afternoon you should be able to see the birds. Hope you can go see[/COLOR]
[COLOR=008000]the show and enjoy it.[/COLOR]

I would realistically get there around 1:00. Optimistically around noon...
We will see...

My wife and I are planning to go. If anyone wants to shoot the breeze just look for two folks that look like they don't have a clue. That will be us!

I would not expect much at Greensboro after Noon.

:/ I was hoping to go to the Gboro Show, but I came down with the crud this week. Ahh well... Maybe next time.

I'll be at the Greensboro show! I'll be in the camo Garth brooks cap with two kids in tow!

How is the area?

It's very nice and quiet. Lots of farm land around. It's in the country , but close enough to archdale or randleman when you need things. It's also close to Randleman Lake

I know when they're older and you process you can tell by the organs, can you tell on young birds if they're male or female? My husband does the gutting/skinning and I break down the meat so I've never seen the organs.

If you know where to look, you should be able to see the testicles at a pretty young age on butchered birds. I caponize around 8-10 weeks, they're plenty developed by then.

I'll quite happily take unwanted free/cheap dual-purpose cockerels up to about 3 months or so. I'm just south of Charlotte in the rural part of Matthews, hi y'all.

Okay thanks, I wasn't sure how early you could tell

I'm a 3hr drive from Charlotte so I doubt it'd be worth the drive for a few roosters :/
