Anyone going to be at the Heart of the Ozark poultry show 2024? We recently recieved 5 quality cayugas from MT. My daughter (8) will show 3 and I will show 2. This will be our first big show. She won Grand Champion waterfowl with our hatchery pekin at our county fair. My son won 1st with his pekin at the fair.

I am but nervous. The fair is super laid back. I know I have good birds. Luckily, my husband made a acquaintance that lives close that helped us get these birds and plans to help us cull when it is time.

Any tips?

Here are some articles about showing chickens:

There are probably duck ones too but I didn't see any off the bat, and besides, I'm sure they are basically the same thing.

I wish you the best!! Good luck!
