I have gotten Grand Champion Poultry at county fair for 2 years the first time was in 2022 with my Barred Plymouth Rock hen from Runnings I got her for egg laying not for show yet she still beat the show birds. and I won in 2023 with my Rhode Island Red bantam rooster. I don't have the picture with the banner for my Rhode Island Red but there is my champion hen and the rooster is my grand champion. He lost all his comb points in the winter and he died this spring.
