It depends on the show, there may be birds for sale/auction, showmanship competitions and lots and lots of poultry talk. It's a lot of fun to see all the birds and meet the exhibitors.

Sorry you guys, its just a joke. Unbelievable to me, because I have truly only been showing about a year, and am really a real greenhorn. I just happened to be lucky enough to have bought some good birds. Paul Kroll hatched and raised the mottled Japanese and was nice enough to sell her to me at the Ohio National in 2009 to help me get stated in Japanese. I hope I have the ability to learn to select the good ones. I have a long journey in front of me.

That painting of the Black Tail Buff Japanese almost made me want Japs again! Where did you hang it....in the barn?

last year several brought birds to sell. There were also birds for sale in the show.

I have been out today banding some birds trying to decide who will be ready in March.We are showing in Pryor Oklahoma 2 weeks before Pine Bluff so I will probably just enter the same birds.

Come on Jen <LOL> You are allowed to take a compliment when it is due - and just who has kept this little hen in such good condition over the last year and a half?? YOU. And this was not a "one-off" as my Brit husband would say! I believe that Mottled hen did pretty well at the District meet in Fayettville also? Didn't she? As I said - good job!

And We ALL have much to learn - that never chnanges. <sigh>

After re-reading posts I need to clarify. I hope no one thought I said the win was a joke. The joke was wanting to show as a novice. Now, that clarified, Jim, I keep telling you, no barn for that pic, it goes in the trophy section of the living room, right next to DH's bear.

Hehe MOM!!! Does anyone else wonder why the cute lil Japanese look so out of place amongst the bears, elk and whatever else wildlife is in that pic.

Guess Jen had to have something in that room. Almost looks like teh bear is stalking the bantams.

It is two hours south of Monticello. Sounds like it would be a lot of fun. Would love to share a ride with someone. We are considering a booth for our carports and coops.
