    The National Poultry Show, UK November 2010

    Hi, All, I've been to the National Poultry show here in the Uk, today. There were over 5,000 exhibits of birds in almost every shape and size and colour imaginable. I've never seen chooks as large or as tiny as some of those seen today. Some were very skinny, some very broad. Some with...
