I dont know if I can make it there by 10. If it were JUST me I could, but getting the dh out of the house early is hard.

But, I will be wearing my usual jacket. Red satin, with stains (vintage) Marine Corp. with my lighter green and gray stable jacket under it.

What colors?

I'll be bringing some partridge, and maybe some white, buff, and black, and some PQ self blues.

tykris99, there are usually people who bring young chicks.

chickenpiedpiper, if the bird is already laying, the seller will usually know what color egg the bird lays. You may not be able to find any EEs that lay blue eggs and may need to go with an ameraucana or an araucana. I have an EE x silkie that lays a silkie-sized blue egg, but I haven't decided whether or not I want to sell her yet.

Rhett&SarahsMom, most of the birds at the show are very healthy and it's unlikely that you'll risk bringing anything back to your flock. That being said, it's always best to quarantine any new birds, as well as any brought to exhibit at a show, just to be on the safe side.

Do you sell any buff hatching eggs in the spring?

Unfortunately, I will not be breeding buffs in the spring.

no, im going to be hatching lots this spring so that I can build up the breeding flock. I will be selling hatching eggs though.

Since this is a Poultry show, I assume there will be more than just chickens. Is there a lot of other fowl speices there, as well?

I am going to try to get there after work on Sat morning, getting me ther by 1 or 1:30. Is this too late? Would it be better to go on Sunday?

Update:

By the time we pick up PP and get to Springfield it may be 10 AM.

I look forward to seeing many BYC members there.

The show hall will still be open. There will also be turkeys, ducks, geese, and guineas exhibited in addition to chickens. Sunday mainly consists of awards.

 

[what was i thinking]

looks like it is 3 and 1/2 hours from me. might give me something to do that weekend.
i would love to me some other BYCers
