I'm also a little late .. but here is Tilly, 10 months, our award-winning Easter Egger enjoying her pre-4H-show bath.

With the late entries (and some really cute ones!) we are going to postpone results until tomorrow - to give time for the 3rd "official" judge

to take a look and vote as well. Thanks to all for entering!!! We had fun looking at the photos! Looks like a lot of happy chickens out there.

It's still August 1st in Michigan. Hope I'm not too late, but here's my entry with a 1/2 hour to spare.

These are our Buff Orpington Hens, Dixie, Daisy and Jasmine. They are 13 1/2 weeks in the photos.

Peeps chillin' the in the pool

Are they seriously swimming like ducks or is the pool very shallow and they are standing? Did they go in of their own accord? If my vote counted, I'd pick yours as winner.

Thank you all for entering the first online poultry show we added! Lots of fun and great photos!!! Very hard to choose winners with all the great entries. Our non-scientific panel of 3 chicken fans voted and the results are....

1st Place: Dixie, Daisy, Jasmine (Keltara)
2nd Place: Lofty Dreams "wet silkies"
3rd Place: Sophie Mae's Silver Laced

This was a fun contest! We really enjoyed seeing all the photos!

I LOVE Keltara's photos. Those birds look so content!

I want to see more! I think Keltara should post a whole album of those floating chickens. Delicious.

Yes they are swimming, and sometimes think they are ducks, but we physically put them in.

BYW...the water is over the heads....

Thank you for voting my girls to first place.

This is the first contest we won on BYC.

Here's a link to one of my posts about our swimming chickens. Feel free to check it out. Also, how amazing that not only did you homeschool your own children to adulthood, but you are also homeschooling your grandson's? That's awesome!!! I looked at your postings hoping to see some photos of your flock. I hope you get some up soon. Here's the link: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=538337
