    Could I get some help from my fellow chicken people?

    Thanks again!! So glad this thing is almost over. Last day is Thursday. I called the radio station last week to clarify something and I was told that the winner will be announced this Friday.

    I haven't shown them myself but the person I purchased the original eggs from last year told me that they were from show parents.
