I hope you all have been enjoying the warmer weather and green grass as much as we have. We are preparing for the summer months by adding many more APA/ABA Sanctioned fairs to our list. Fairs are a great place to earn premium money and a fun way to pass the time until the fall show season. While we have listed a few fairs that are not sanctioned, we will be focusing on the ones that are. We have added 23 shows and fairs this month! Just for fun, we're going to keep a running total of the shows and swaps we have in our database on our homepage. You'll be surprised how many there are out there! I know we have been.

It has been another record-breaking month with just under 15,000 unique visitors this month. If you like to see stats like I do, (I was a math major, I can't help it) you can see them on our Advertisers page(CLICK HERE). While you're there, consider a breeder directory ad or if you have a blog or business that would be of interest to poultry fanciers, I'd love to talk with you.

We did some reorganizing and have a new Recommended Books page with tons of great poultry showing and raising books you can browse and buy. Find some Summer Reading here!

There are 20 new Trivia Questions posted on the website. We're done with Avian Bowl questions for the year so we're back to questions my 9-year-old comes up with. She loves the chance to try to stump you. You may be surprised!

We are excited to finally have our new and improved bumper stickers available. The cool thing about them, besides the sharp, new design, is that this is an ultra sticky but completely removable bumper sticker! Now you can enjoy the sticker without the concern how how to remove it when you sell your car. It sticks to anything: glass, bumper, plastic, paint. Purchase it at our Homepage or on our Recommended Products page.
