I can't believe I decide not to go to the show and they have geese.

The Unifour show is the only show in this area that accepts the large waterfowl and also turkeys in the show. They are the only ones with the larger sized cages.

I'm pretty new to it also. My pop has been on here a few years now. He's gotten alot of info off here.

That is the best laugh I've had in a long time! Perfect!

Does anyone have experience with the Winston Salem show coming up this month or the Southern Hospitality show in April in Greensboro? I really, really wanted to go to the Unifour show but it was a three hour drive for me so couldn't swing it. Now I'm even more anxious for these closer shows! I haven't reached my quota for pretty silkies!

Do you think I'll find some nice silkies there for sale?

Both are very good shows, we attend both of them. Infact the Fall show in Greensboro 2009 was our first...... Go to both, you will have fun!

When are these shows? I've never been to a chicken show! Sounds like fun.

Does anyone else's BO likes to get in the nest to just nap?? Not a quick nap, like a couple hours some times.

What all goes on in these shows?

Mar 31 - Forsyth Fowl Fanciers Show - Winston-Salem, NC at the Dixie Classic fairgrounds. This is normally a fairly large show. This show accepts Bantam and Standard Chickens as well as small ducks. This show normally has a large amount of selling going on outside.

April 14 - Carolina Feather Fanciers Show - Greensboro, NC at the Guilford Extension Service Arena. This has been a small show the last few years, but the people and the concessions are worth the drive. They do accept all breeds of poultry in the APA and ABA standards, but I have not seen turkeys, geese, or guineas there in a couple years. They have a website: http://karlu.hypermart.net/Greensboropage.htm
