Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure clipped wings are an automatic disqualification.

You do not have to be NPIP to show. If you are not NPIP, your birds will have a blood drop test done after judging Saturday evening. It's no big deal, you won't even be able to tell where the drop is taken from.
On leg bands...You do not have to have leg bands to send in your entry form, you can write band numbers on your coop cards when you coop in. I like the plastic numbered bandettes from www.cutlersupply.com For large fowl birds, you want size 11 probably, it's a pretty good LF size.
If there are still clipped feathers on them, yes, it's an automatic DQ. If your birds are missing any primary wing feathers they will not place. You could still get a judges opinion on them, but you will need to track down the judge when he's finished judging and ask him specifically what he thought about your birds. I think that both of the judges that will be at this show would be more than happy to talk with you about your birds when they are done judging for the day.

About half of the clipped feathers are still there.
Is there a fee for the blood test?

Nope, no fee But you also do not get any kind of paperwork, or anything. It's just for their knowledge. You would only hear something if it was bad...
