The show is on 1/17 from 8am to 5pm or 1/18 from 8am to 12pm.

Now, what is the best day to go? Ive heard that the last day after the juding the people whose birds lose will put them right into the sale cages.

Hopefully at this show their will be some bearded buff silkies for sale.

Yes, it is a large show, it's the largest show in the northeast. The sale coops are full throughout the show.

Although you MAY find some birds that were exhibited for sale after judging, most exhibitors will not sell the birds they are showing, regardless of whether or not they place.
