I was able to attend a recent show in March of 2009. I had a great time! And my birds didn't do too shabby either! My Crele pullet took Reserve Old English out of all of the Juniors at the show.
It was so amazing to win at my first ever show down there. I got a lot of, "Congratulations," and "Great jobs!" from my competitor showmen. This Crele pullet went from my least favorite chicken to one of my top two! I had no idea she would do so well! But, unfortunately my other birds didn't do as well as I had hoped. My Crele Cockerel was docked because, he had too much fan in his tail. When you look at a cockerel or cock you do not want to see any space in between the tail when they fan out. Hopefully when he comes out of his moult he won't have so much fan and maybe he will show better. My dad's Blue Reds beat all of the other Blue Reds at the show. Which wasn't very many, but because it was there first show they didn't act as cocky as we had hoped. My sister, Katey, took her pair of Splash Silkies down to the show also.
She and I did awesome for only our first show, because her Silkie pullet took Reserve Feather Leg out of all the Juniors at the show! And her Silkie cockerel took Best of Variety. It was an amazing show for the two of us and we had a ton of fun!
