If it says they can't race if they are showing it is probably because the judges are judging so many birds that they can't wait for all the ducks in different activities to return to their cages to be judged. While clerking before it has caused big issues when youth birds are entered in open but are gone from the cage half the day for showmanship, etc. means whole breeds/varieties can't be judged because not all birds are present.

I bring bug spray ( permectin) the nice organic chrysanthemum kind, and spray the bed, sheets & mattress, then open windows & leave.
When I return hours later, the room should be bug free.
I have heard/seen horror stories about bed bugs & saber-toothed crotch crickets (body crabs) ewwwwwwwww!!!
So now I have the crawlies!!!EWWWWWWWW!!!
Even the best motels can get infestations...OK enough about bugs.....

Last trip to OR the not so cheep hotel we checked into had BED BUGS!!!...Maybe even fleas.
DS woke up with bug bites and we had to wash everything in hot hot water when we came home.

Should have just washed it in the laundromat. YUCK.
Too bad gas prices are so high or I would drag my trailer down there too.
It is old and drafty, but at least I know it doesn't have bed bugs.
DH thinke I should go to the show.

If you want OE eggs, I will start saving them for you & ship Monday?
Don't worry about a trade, someday I will need something, I am sure.
When I ship OEs to you, you can paypal the total, OK ??
So sorry about the explosion, one thing hasn't happened to me YET!!
My FiL had a egg blow up several times a week..do not know why, he always found a nest off under a bush somewhere & stuck them in the incubator...his garage always stunk so bad!
Coming to Stevenson ?

Good thing they don't know how mean ya are they woulda charged ya a lot more.

T HI should get a discount too! She's not tall enough to use the whole bed so they would only have to wash 1/2 of it.

That is why she & her DD AND a duck are sharing 1 queen bed

On dark eggs when I candle I also do a 'sniff test'. Often they will start to smell very off prior to explosion.
