OK, here are a few pics from the show...I couldn't get these birds to pose for me for anything!

Here's BB / Champion Faverolles of open show / Reserve Champion Continental by Tamsen Polley:



Here's my pullet that went RB / Reserve Champion Faverolles of open show: (she isn't really that flat..)

WOW!! What a show! I ran around that place like a mad woman all weekend (OK, truth be told I usually do that anyway LOL) but I had a blast!!

Numbers of birds shown still weren't as high as I would've liked to see, BUT were UP for our area!! YAY!!! And yes, the pair of LF chicks that were auctioned off were high bid, at for $160 for the pair. They were from Riddle / Patterson breeding.

There were 8 LF Salmons shown in the open show - 1 cockerel, 5 hens, 2 pullets Tamsen Polley took Champion Faverolles, and Reserve Continental with her salmon hen, and I took Reserve Faverolles of open show with a salmon pullet.

There were 5 bantams shown in the open show - 2 blue hens, 1 blue salmon cock, 2 salmon cocks. BB went to Karen Carpenter's salmon cock, and RB went to O'Neal Chicks salmon cock.

In the youth show, there were 2 LF salmon hens shown - BB and Reserve Continental to Jonah Hart, RB to Zack Markell
There were 7 bantams shown in the youth show - 4 blacks, and 3 salmons - BB and Champion Faverolles Junior to Jonah Hart, RB and Reserve Faverolles Junior to Mackenzie Graham.

Congratulations to all the exhibitors!!!

Thank you so much to everyone who made a donation - the host club, the Pacific Northwest Poultry Association, donated $100 in cash awards, Laurel Zepp, Karen & Tamsen Polley donated silent auction items, Elizabeth Martin donated special youth awards, and Andrew Hamilton made a cash donation toward awards.

I will post pics after I go to the store and get them onto a CD off of my camera!

Thank you for all your hard work, Jeanine...and congratulations on your win! I wish I could have gone. I hope my market tote brought in some money for the club.

Pretty sure #1 is a pullet, possibly #4 also. I'm not going to commit on the others - difficult to tell. Could you post a side view of them just standing without wings spread out? Are any of them sprouting any tail feathers yet?

What do you look for in the wing feathers to tell?

they are hard to get pics of, since mama broody is horrendus! i finally crated her to get these, will go through my pics and see if i can find a group pic- mama is a cochin and the sweetest natured girl until she goes broody...she can really bite hard...
