OR, you can use a Goose for showmanship!! This is what my daughter and another friend of ours did last year and they got Grand and Reserve!! I think the judge was impressed with not only their skills and knowledge but that they used a goose!! Also, you can let your goose stand, you don't have to hold them the whole time. Oh and waterfowl have less steps than chickens in showmanship.
Don't forget to learn about your bird AND other breeds too, as the judge can and often does (at least our fair), ask questions about other breeds, especially those on the table, and ask the kids to switch birds with the other kids, to see how they do handling other birds.
