Nothing was canceled, and we learned A LOT! For example the availability of non shedding vaccine. We are planning on having more educational events at Three Old Hens events and at CHB events.
CHB went through the cages bird by bird looking for sick animals all weekend. Sadly the birds can seem absolutely fine when they leave the farm, and great the first day of the show, but the stress of moving them etc can have things flair by day two or three. We do our best, and I dont think that anyone would intentionally bring an ill birds. Consider that of the 2000+, yes that is TWOTHOUSAND PLUS birds that were in the building, it would only take one to be ill to affect at least a couple other birds, possibly more.

If I keep my VERY BEST birds at home, they will be safe then. And should something bad happen, I can go on.
Also I will me much more careful about the isolation of birds after a show.

My very best BREEDING birds will stay at home producing great babies. If my birds get sick because of a show, then I will still have my very best at home. I can use the show to learn more about what I have and how my breeding selection is doing.

I think that people are responsible for their own livestock and have their own beliefs on vaccinating and not vaccinating. I wouldnt say my statement was complete bologna. I was simply stating that unvaccinated, EXPOSED birds, will pass on the virus.Mentioned earlier that the ones who do not vaccinate will put everyone elses chickens at risk during a show, this is a total bologna thing to say really. You are putting only your own birds at risk by having them not vaccinated for ILT.
