He says he wants to, but we'll see. Turbo just turned 3 months old today, she's way too young. If Dave doesn't bring his boy, then I'll pack up somebody else for a last minute entry.
thank you very much. she had practiced so much and this was her first year. When the judge (who was an APA judge) set the giant purple ribbon in front of her....she had this look on her face of "what the heck is that for"....I have a photo of that too...so funny.
She also did a great big poster from her research on the Seramas. This was her first year. I am very proud of her. No one in our small county had seen/heard of Seramas so they were a big hit.
Infact...there was a tiny (3 year old) little girl who was trying to fit and show a giant duck. It was not cooperating. The judge finally took the duck away, handed it to dad, turned to the cages behind him, grabbed Adam (our serama - the one in the photo) and handed it to her.
The judge had shown in a bit of a "how to" before the fitting and showing competition how big a bird a kid should have. Adam (our serama) did really well for the little girl. We had 2 chicks that we had hatched out and this little girl and her dad came up just this last Saturday and took home a little cockerel. I told him that the bird was only pet quality, but would be perfect for the little girl. Sounds like it is going to be a house bird - even better. We did not sell it, we said the only payment we wanted was a photo of her working with her bird. I am excited to see her next year at the fair.
It was funny, in the audience some woman snided off making a comment (when the judged grabbed Adam and gave to this little girl) "Oh, great, he gave her a rooster...this is going to be a disaster". I spoke up, "of all the birds in this barn....that was the best bird he could have given her". The judge knew we would not mind. She shut up.
