I will see what I can do. Will be in the midst of a semester of school. Maybe I will try and make it though. 

That would be GREAT!!  :)

...OK, I went to the site and can not find any info regarding entries. I want to know when I need to enter, what class my bird would have to be in, and how much/deadline for the entry check/form to be sent HELP

You need to call the show contact person, David Adkins  740-259-2852 for a copy of the show catalog when it comes out.  :)  What birds are you thinking of entering?  When it's time, I can help you fill out the entry forms.

I just called and left a message, so when I get more info, I will pass it along. :)

I have a few that are growing out nicely... and a nice roo how old can a bird be and still considered a cockerel? I always assumed it had to be less than a year, in which case i would not show him because he would be 13 months old and not stand a chance against the older boys i would think... but I do have 3 real nice pullets Vice sired before he disappeared, one is a bit too dark unless she lightens up some but the other 2 are quite nice. I mostly want to show to learn anyway, so this year will not be about trying to win so much as getting my feet wet.

Yep, at 13 months, he's a cock. If the darker one has great type, show her anyway, type always comes first...well, it's supposed to... ;)

Speaking of type...this is an awful picture, and has wire in the way, but she kept either facing away from me, or running all the way up to me so I couldn't get any other pics of her...also, her beard got plucked out...so ignore all that (LOL)...what do you guys think of her otherwise? I showed pics of her from when she was still a pullet, and had good response on her.  I'm partial to her because I bred her, AND she happens to be the hen in the newer version of the club logo....

"Peaches"...

You can see her beard size in her pullet pics:

nice lookin girly... I know type before color but I figure at that level it would matter so why bother with her
