That's good news Michael - it has been awhile, and you have been missed!   Family coming too?  Your girls will look a little different than this 2008 photo!   Any idea what you might be showing?

[Michael Muenks]

I'm not sure if the kids will come along or not. I'm sure Anastasia will.

I'm thinking my black LF cock will be in a good shape then and possibly one of the black LF hen. I have a bantam wheaten cockerel that I think will be a bit young, but showable. The LF black pullets and cockerels are still growing out. I'm afraid my bantam wheaten pullets are a bit dark to show. The white bantam pullet and cockerel will be too young to show. My bantam white adults are still going to be working in the breeding pen because I've not had much luck with bantam whites hatching this year. I switch to a gamebird grower feed in the last month and I'm hoping to get a few more eggs to hatch.

...Out of state birds should have NPIP, VS-9, or CVI  within 90 days and an entry permit # — Just call 573-751-3377 for permit number...

I just called to get a permit number, but was told they are only good for 15 days so wait until you are within 15 days of taking your birds over the boarder to get a number.

Good information, she did not tell me there was a window of time it is good for. I called a week before the show last year, so was well within the time span. I usually get the person I need to talk to on the line. The few times I needed a call back, it came very quickly. Getting the permit number should go smoothly for everyone.

I just recently got my N.P.I.P. in Wisconsin.   Will I still have any testing requirements for either Michigan or Missouri?
