Jarvis?? Any comment?

They will show in the "Production" class at the fair.. this is where all the heavy egg layer hybrids are show cased. This is also one of the heavy comp. areas for teh county fairs as there are more of those birds than most others.

Amy,
That Black Wyandotte rooster, will show as Bantam Wyandotte, (variety Black) Rose Comb Clean leg. out of the two hens, one has better yellow legs than the other. the yellow legged hen will show same as Bantam Wyandotte (Variety Blue) Rose Comb Clean leg. You should walk away with Best Wyandotte Male, Best Wyandotte Female, best of Variety Black, Best of Variety Blue, Champion Rosecomb Clean Leg Male, Champion Rosecomb Clean leg female, I woul dbe very surprised if you get anything less than that from those two birds. The other one's only fault is smutty leg color.

1 oz of fast maturing Cherry Tomatoe seeds, should plant at least 5 acres.
1/2 Lb of fast maturing Sweet Corn
1/2 Lb of fast maturing stringless Green Bean
1/2 Lb of Fast maturing Stringless sweet pea with edible pods.

Hope you have enough dirt if not you have seeds for next spring and next fall too.

hey guys, im trying to come up with an automatic watering system and have some ideas but not sure which i would like to try and what will be best for my set up. I would like to use a 55 g barrel so i dnt have to water as often but im also thinkin ahead to winter and dont want to be bustin alot of ice. I plan on gettn a tank heater but not sure which is better floating or sinkable. If anybody has any ideas or pics of what you are doing please post. thanx. Right now im using the 55 g barrel tipped upside down into a hot water pan with a spigot for filling and after its done filling i turn the spigot off creating a suction and it chugs out as they drink it down.

Thanks Carl, I wrote all that down so I get them entered right. I can't remember ever having to name what class to put the chickens in that we took to county. I wonder if they classify them themselves?

I'm already getting excited. I'm thinking Champ Bantam and Best of Show too, yup.. that's what I'm thinking.

I know our county chicken bar took a direct hit during recent storms and they are going to be housed in a different barn. The barn they will be in isn't as well ventilated as the old barn. Is there any tricks you have to keeping your chickens cool at the shows? If they were cattle we'd put fans on them, but our cattle fans would blow the feathers off those little sweeties. I'm hoping the fair officials have taken steps to insure the animals are kept cool, but just in case I want to be prepared.
