My advice for Farm Show would be, dress warm enough for standing on the bus stop but not too bulky as you will be carrying your coat with you throughout the show. I usually wear a wool sweater. free admission, $10 parking, bus from parking to show. Pack your beverages and bring them with you as the drinks are pretty pricey, $3.50/Pepsi, if I remember correctly. Check out the website above for what day you want to go. The poultry is there all week, but the other livestock is not always there. Also check the arena schedules to see the shows you're interested in. We like the barrel racing so will shoot for that.

Chickenboy100, & Chippysmom: we may be there on Saturday, I'm not a name tag kinda girl, if I do decide to wear one, it will say something like 'cleopatra' , 'Queen Latifa' or 'Papa Smurf'.

I'm not going this year, hopefully next year.

X2, and Lisa, I love the idea of looking ahead to the projects ahead! I think I'd like a better chick brooder and may work on one of them.

ChippysMom, thanks for the goat link, I have a friend who's been searching for a mini Nubian buck, hope it helps her.

Hope it helps! I saw it and thought: "where have i heard the term nubian before? oh wait! the chicken forum!!!"

Okay I will Do you see any obvious pullets/cockerels? And any of the same color?

I can tell two are obvious cockerels the others are still a toss up. All these guys hatched out all different colors

Which ones are the obvious cockerels? What's the dad's temperment like? I want a roo that will be friendly to people but die for his flock.

Hi everyone. I wanted to know if anyone had any bantam chicks available, under a week old? I just had a chick hatch and he's very lonely. Looking for a buddy or two. His siblings didn't make it. He's the only one who hatched. I'm in the Harrisburg, Lancaster and York area. I'll also be at the farm show too this upcoming week. Let me know! Thanks!

Why do we always have to get a snow storm and arctic conditions for the Farm Show? Not going to take as many birds as we planned-that's just too much stress on them, even if we hope to sell a few down there.

What will you have to sell at the show?
