Wow, he's close to perfect!
It should be a great event and lots of good birds to be purchased. However, you want to get there on the Friday as I think half of all birds will be gone the first day. When you show up on sat am you may be disappointed unless you have made plans to pick up birds from a breeders.
Sometimes they may part with some birds in the show coops ask the breeders to mate them up for you their skills will be much better than yours. Even a good breeding pair is a great find.
Also, this will give you a good chance to look at the different rare breeds for the future or you can remember these breeds and help a beginner next year who wants a breed that we can not figure out who has them.
I often wonder how many of you who got started might get the urge or courage to start showing. Its a great time and fun event and a monster challenge for a back yard former chicken owner to take on. However, many do and its a blessing to our hobby when they just at least attend a show and see how much fun and how others will help them if they just ask.
However, if you have no desire to go to a show but just own a Standard of Perfection and try to keep you head above water with favorite breed that's a accomplishment from what you started. Its a hobby we want to have fun and not make it into a job. If that happens and you end up with to many chickens then you start to slip form having fun to getting out of the hobby. Does this happen? All the time.
Keep up the good work this tread has been very successful with some great looking fowl.
I plan on bringing some Buckeyes to get rid of
I am unsure I will wash all of them thoroughly. Some I do not expect to do as well as others. They will be spot cleaned to cut back on poo and the sort. A few will get a good washing ahead of time, some will be just before the show. I know which ones I like the most, they will get the best care at the best time. But in no way am I up to washing 14 birds in one day.
All of the birds look great, although young. But I really only want to take so many to increase numbers for the show. No reason not to.
