Hello all.
Today, our sweetest hen sadly passed away. No warning that we could see. We assume she may had a problem with her reproductive track.
She was also our show bird, and had an orange metal band with her number that was around her foot. If I can find a picture of either her band or a...
Hi guys I wanted to know what the best crossbreed chickens you think are and what are the parents, i am after looks more then there egg laying or meat if you have any please tell me the combo.
Hi all,
I'm struggling to find Silkie hens for sale in central NY. I would really like some nice show quality birds but would be willing to purchase pet quality as well! Please let me know if you have any resources.
Thanks!!
Is anyone here knowledgeable about Cochins and can tell me if these 10 week old pullets could have any potential for 4h and possibly state fair? One is mottled and one is black. They both have yellow feet. Also they are being lent to me from a local breeder.
This is my 12-week old langshan chicken (unsur of sex) that I purchased from Murray mcmurray hatchery. I was wondering if anyone thinks this bird could be show quality?
My next show will be the Canfield fair, which is the whole labor day week! If you can, stop down at the 4-H small animal barn, go on the chicken side, and look for the "Country Kids and Kritters" sign. Then look for the exhibitor name "Isabelle Ciavarella". They're building a new barn so it...
We are showing a polish pullet at our local stock show. It’s the end of the first day, and we went to check on our beloved pullet, and there was a green, circled “1” on her tag. We’re completely new to showing chickens, so we have no idea what this means. Is this a good thing?
Attached should be...

Curious about shows and interested in how people started getting evolved with them. Not sure if any of my gals are show worthy but would like to see what kind of chickens 'qualify'!
Hello! I currently have a mixed flock of ducks and I'm looking to sell all of my larger breeds and buy more calls so I can just focus on them. I'm having a hard time trying to find any call ducks. They don't have to be perfect show quality, but I would prefer small ones with tiny beaks. I am...
Hi everyone, this is my embden gander. I'm not going to exhibit him (stressful for the both of us) but I've always wanted to know how well he'd do.
PS he barely scratches the minimum height/weight requirements of a girl goose at 2'2" and 20 lbs, so we joke that he'll be a winner if we register...
Hi All! I just found a broody hen and I was wondering if I put chicks under her if she will still lay eggs? The only reason i am worried about this is because she is a show bird and i want to hatch more of her eggs.
Thanks!
Not an online show, just introduce your handsome fellas or pretty ladies to us! I love seeing what other people have and the crazy names people come up with! If a rescue horse, wanna give us a backstory if you know? I love learning backgrounds on what things horses go through and still learn to...
