Thats NO fun. Not really a win if there is no competition.

True. That's what I have to deal with all the time though. Every year at fair I go in and beat everyone. Kind of got used to it. I have won the fancy showmanship every year for the last six years. I KNOW I will have some competition though with the silkie. She's the only one I have and the plan is for her to not come back home after the show. I found a good saying on this website though. Don't remember where but it said to always go into a show and expect to lose and hope to win. There might have been more to it but that was the important part. Kind of think it's a good idea to follow that, that way I don't get to full of my self and then when I lose be a sore loser.

Do those Leghorns make you appreciate your Brahma's temperment ?

YES! My Leghorns used to not let me get within ten feet of them without flipping out. They have gotten better but I still have to catch them by surprise. Otherwise they run to the back of the pen and then I have to crawl to the back to get them. They are only staying so I can have a few eggs to eat when I am hatching the Brahma eggs. Might start breeding them if the two I am bringing to this show place well.

Good attitude. Shows are just plain FUN, win or lose. A win is just icing on the cake.

P.S. Always remember to congratulate the winner no matter if you agree or disagree with the judge's choice.

My leghorns are actually calmer than the Brahma's.

Wow, what variety of Brahma do you raise ?
