Sara,
You will have to be there early in the morning and wait till the breeder shows to coop out his birds on the last day (Sat or Sun, not sure which is the last day plus check their program schedule to be sure). Then he may or may not want to sell the bird you might be interested. Harry

One of the cocks I saw there had the longest spurs I had ever seen! They were all twisted and kinky. Last year they had a whole row of silkies....this year there was only ten of all the colors. I wish I could have found someone who bloodtests before the entry deadline was due, then I could have entered my WJG (there were only blacks), my one rosecomb hen, and my silkies.

I wasn't all that thrilled. I thought there were very few birds there in breeds that I wanted to see.

If you want to talk to the exhibitors, you need purchase the Yellow Poultry Entry book for $1.00 at the show. You then can match up the exhibitor's # to their name, and ask around for them. There are no phone numbers in the book, but the exhibitors will be present when the poultry is released on Saturday. Otherwise, the birds will be there all week.

I did buy the book. I doubt I'm going back SAturday, one fun filled day there with my kids is all I can handle.

Well I guess you will have to set a good example and enter the cool breeds yourself next year
