So who is going to the Farm Show? I can't wait and I want to pick up a few silkies while I am there if anyone has any for sale

Just be aware that the farm show does not have a sale area like other shows and is against show rules to sell birds before coop out at the end of the week.

My BF always complains about the farm show...but I may drag him this year!

Thanks for the info. I read on other posts that "sales" were made beforehand and taken in the end. I have NEVER been excited about the Farm Show. I live near Harrisburg and it causes traffic hell for a week, but I have my own chickens now and I want to learn more.

As said above, I don't believe they sell any birds until the end, but if you see birds you like you might get the name of breeder off the cage tag, then you can contact them privately and buy birds or eggs. There are always some great birds to look at!

I'm not sure if the other posts you read were people who have show at the Farm Show or not, but it specifically states that no birds can be sold until AFTER coop out on the last day. If they find out that a bird that is in a show cage has been sold, and that bird has won anything, they will lose what they have won and the bird will have to leave the show. Most people put cards on the cages after the judging is over on Saturday, so that people can contact them. Also, they have a paper will all the exhibitors on it that will give you information as to who owns the bird.

Yay! BF says we can go...cause I told him it would be good for the 5 yo and 1 yo to see the chickens before we get ours in March!
