except the winston-S show the info on there is wrong.
Poultry shows in the south are going to be mostly bantams. Some shows have stopped taking Large Entries because of the lack of Large Fowl in the south. Just not a lot of LF breeders around this area. The LF numbers have gone up at shows the last few years, but still not a lot...

I will be at Winston-Salem most of the day tomorrow. I am short, very fat, and will be wearing shorts, dark blue t-shirt, and a camo hat. If anyone says hi, please, do not be offended if I don't remember your name/face. I am extremely bad with faces and names. UNLESS it is a chicken. LOL
That is looks like an older QGF model. If is has built in turning system then it is along the lines of a 1200 series. If not then it is a hatcher model. Some have 2 turning trays and the 3rd bottom tray is for hatching. The hatcher(no turner) can be used to incubate, but you will have to...
There is a swap tomorrow morning at Belle Farm west of Morganton off I-40 exit 96. All info is on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1729391047290796/
Belle Farm also got their first large shipment of chicks in this morning.
The Winston-Salem show has also been announced by the Forsyth Fowl Fanciers. It is the last Saturday of March(Mar 26) like every year at the Dixie Classic Fairgrounds. Haven't heard anything about Salisbury or Greensboro.

I don't really have to winterize anymore. Over the years I have replaced most of the older make-shift coops. This the last one I built for the d'Uccles. It houses 6 hens, a cock, and a cockerel. The comets DO NOT sleep in that house, but some do like the nest boxes. It is 3'x4'. The legs...
I use a King Suro 20, which has a similar setup. I use rolled up paper napkins in 'extra' space. I do not put anything between the eggs. I don't think it would hurt anything to do that.
