I found exhibiting in state. Fairs has given me platform to help people get into raising backyard bird when then they previously haven't. I exhibit White Leghorns and Delawares. 2 breeds in Utah that can thrive on pasture and little grain without decreasing egg production. I would feel fantastic...
The cuckoo was never intended for exhibition anyhow. He color is not recognized in the USA. I do want him to fit the standard, but I really want him to produce amazing Lav chicks, that are big, feather fast, and overall sturdy. So far his chick are that. :)
He has been on semi-free range. I watched him and mounted to Delaweres. I was very happy to see. Perhaps he just needs some sunlight. I will still worm him and provide him with with extra vitamins. I need his feathers, size, and coomb to be one were. He gets a lot of attraction at the state...
