How many did you bring home?

[SunshineChins]

We are getting ready to go to the Empress show at the end of the month. I keep asking myself what are the chances I come home with more than 2 chins? :rofl:

What has been the largest amount of chins that you brought home?

 

[DaphnesandFreddysmom]

Well I brought home 2 within a month of each other and I'm getting my 4th in 2 weeks so I got 3 of the 4 less than a month apart. Does that count?

From shows, I generally try to limit myself to one or two "at show" purchases...but I also bring home 1-5 that were "pick up at show" purchases that had been made prior to the show.

i believe it was 9 when i started. my foundation animals from shoots (standard and one black) and my foundation animals from danko (violet and white including one pnwc that danko gave up on)

My first year of getting into chinchillas, I came home from Ryerson w/ 4 chinchillas, but they were all prior purchases, just picking them up there. The most bought at once though was 7 from Kim in the same day.

The largest amount I ever brought home was 35ish but they were planned.

The most ever not planned was when going to our first show we bought 4 there and then talked to a rancher who was on our way home and stopped at their place and bought another 10 or so older breeders. Not a one of those was planned, lol.

 

[tunes]

42 I think? All planned and one extra, not planned.

 

[mishalaa]

I don't think I've gone above 3 at once yet, most times just one or two though.

 

[SunshineChins]

I keep thinking about where they can sit along side us in the truck and the supplies I am getting. LOL I guess I can only bring home as many as I have the cash for.

 

[starleomach]

I may be picking up 1 at empress,
MCBA 12 picking up. I usually only bring home who I originally plan, most extra ever was 3. But I still am figuring out cages for the planned ones......

[Silverrose]

Wow if only I could bring home 50 or so in one shot lol. We do always end up bringing home unplanned chins from shows. The most we have taken home is only 4...so far...

 

[SunshineChins]

I have two that I am planning on bringing so far, but am bringing cash to get those ones that just need to come home with me.

I honestly would love to go to the Empress show and bring home 3-4 next weekend. I just don't see paying $150 in gas and paying out the butt for a motel when I can wait for the York show and drive home without paying to stay overnight I picked up 2 at the MCBA SEC show though, only hoping to get one.

I wish there were more shows that were closer to FL. Now that we are going to spend the time & gas to get to the show I want to make sure I get everything I want. :clap:

 

[threewingedfury]

Just wait for the MCBA SEC one in SC this November. Shouldn't be too far for you. Hopefully I'll have some babies to show by then.

I think the most I ever brought back from a SHOW were 25-26 chins. Tho they were not all for me! There were 3 of us total. Now coming back from Dave Woods! Holy cow! I couldn't always fit as many chins as I got from him! I think the most at one time tho was 10 or 12....

Takes a lot of prep time and a lot of empty cages or presold at times. Of course I always sort through any herd I purchase and save the best for me!!! Selfish, hum greedy, or something like that....

[aznmexaggie]

Hmm, the most I've ever purchased at one time was 4. Three from a show, and one from a rancher after the show.
