Actually it was Tom Roebuck's black cochin hen that won super grand champion of the show.

I had a great time. i got their before 9am on saturday and birds were already sold! i was able to get my hands on a silkie hen and a nice polish hen that used to be showed. I dont know much about showing at all and found out that the reason why the polish hen was sold was because of too many black feathers on her crest! And they pluck them out for the show! never knew that happens. I was also able to meet the chicken chick which i just LOVE her blog i was so excited to meet her.

horrible picture but this is my new polish hen


my silkie hen lol she looks evil in this picture

Expected Tom to win with bantam cochin. So much more easy to tame and make a bantam look alot more nice then a large fowl bird. If you have a big large fowl breed the rooster this will make the girls back feathers look like crap cause of the weight of the rooster during mating.

Somebody stole my two chicken carriers, a 3-hole and a 4-hole wire carrier from the show hall. Really not impressive.
