Liz, I use to sell adult birds at the shows BUT there is a difference between show birds and production birds. Remember that show birds are bred to look correct (aka, "to standard"). There isn't (if any) attention paid to how they lay. Did your library not have any other books to get? Ask about Inter Library Loan. Carolyn

I know they've got the big poultry building with all sorts of different breeds. It sure would be fun, after reading about all these different breeds, to go and see them and it would be a bonus if we could find some birds to start our flock with.
