Yep. I was astounded. There were also quite a few Easter Eggers entered as Ameraucana and even Araucana. It was pretty clear that no one actually knew anything about breeds.

Ive had many 4H friends take their EE's in as Amerarucanas but never actually won. And I guess where i'm at is a bit stricter than where you are xD I couldnt imaging someone mistaking a Wyandotte as a Plymouth xD
 
We've done 4h for awhile. Chicks last two years. We have isa browns from Townline this year. We always buy from our local feed store.
Feed the starter feed all the way up until they lay. Last year we switched to layer feed I think to soon. Birds looked sort of immature at the
Fair. Lesson learned.
The week before the fair we wash birds in 5 gallon bucket a few times. Dawn works well. We put a cage out on lawn on a nice sunny day
And let them air dry. Chickens were/are presentable this way.
 
I'm not trying to brag or anything, but if you want to see a good RIR check out the bird in my avatar. I think she is at the very least a decent example of a good red.
