Mr. T would take best of show for the whole works. IMHO.

I may have 2 vets helping me with testing on Sunday, one being mom, and the other a curious state veterinarian who is rather curious and a good family friend.

I have to agree... When I saw him the other day he was fantastic. The subtle colors in him are amazing.

Here, we don't have animal swaps. We have sale yards. But then again, no small animal goes through the sale ring. Your swap meets sound interesting, yet a bit dangerous for the uninitiated.

They are like a crap roll, if you have the right bird you do ok, if not you waste a day.

People at the swap meets really are not looking for quality, so hatchery quality birds do better than the show ones...(Boy, that sounds snobbish)

Mother is already annoyed enough doing a full NPIP certification for my entire flock just for me to go, so getting free mycoplasma testing might push her buttons more than I want XD

I utilize Craigslist. Not much other choice besides message boards.

Wow, your going full NPIP,,,wow!!

Good luck on it all. I thought you were just testing a few birds.

I bet if Esther puts a slice of bread over and under her turkey and called it a turkey sandwich....She would get it here...
