i am the founder and president for Lehigh County Pennsylvania's 4-H Poultry club. showing is amazing and you need some skills to master it, you need to be able to talk in front of a crowd, know everything there is to know about the bird your showing. Also your bird needs to meet all the standards for that breed to be show quality
It seems to me like the 4-H is very much about perfection, which at this point all of my birds seem to have a fault or two (though they're still growing). I have no problem with speaking, but it's difficult to know everything without having an APA book, or being able to find adequate sources for my breeds.
Are there any other shows I could enter my chickens in that are less strict? I saw a post awhile ago with a lady saying her daughters wanted to enter in 4-H, she called a judge, and the judge mentioned something about a different show more geared for kids and their pet chickens, making it easier to place better, and less picky?
