..

Yes. Every bird that comes onto the grounds is tested.

 

[chickenlady]

Every bird must be tested and have a negative pullorum certificate to enter. Each bird is visually/physically inspected upon entering the show hall by the dept of Ag. It is one of the best shows I have ever been to.

To answer the photo question, yes, you may take photos of any bird you like. There are some beauties.

How do you get to go their before it opens? Also, what time does the sale area open?

 

[LilPeeps]

Technically the sales area opens Saturday morning when the show hall opens. Early coop in is on Friday and some exhibitors may place birds in the sales coops at this time.

 

[Rhett&SarahsMom]

I can only go Saturday. But it's coming FAST!
Hopefully we wont get a blizzard that weekend.

 

[chickenpiedpiper]

What can we expect for prices on these birds? Ballpark?
