I am usually up there showing other livestock (goats and cattle) and wanted to try some poultry this year. Has anyone ever showed there and have some advice? Or does anyone know how to show poultry in general? Any help would be appreciated.

IT hatched last night, It lifts it's head but will not stand up. Is this normal? This is the first emu chick I have ever hatched. It does not look like splay-leg. Is it just weak? Does it need time to get some sturdiness in those HUGE legs? Any help will be apppreciated.
