Poultry Show- win PRIZES!

[Juju2773]

Hey all,

I have a feeling no one will reply to this (-!) but I am running a poultry show in this thread.
The prizes are having your winning entry made into art form, drawing or painting!, it will be closed on the 20th and results will come out a couple of days after.

There will be a winner and runner up in each category.
(Thanks so much to those who offered to give prizes!)

RULES:

• Please write your category in the poll, upload a photo and the gender, breed and name of the bird, (if it has a name) in the comments section.
• Can be any poultry, male or female, old or young. It would be great if you want to tell us a bit about your bird but you don't have to!
• You can enter a maximum of 2 birds in each category.
• Mixed breeds are allowed!

So here is a chance to show off your prize beauties of any kind!

Large Chicken, Swedish Flower Rooster. His name is Bjorn. I have two roosters and these two actually get along and both are super friendly. Bjorn is a little shy, but makes up for it with his vibrant display of plumage. A Sweet young rooster.

(I've written his category in the poll)
Here is my young polish cockerel Hektor and his brother Achilles. I've had them since they were 6 days old!

( PLEASE UPLOAD BETTER PHOTOS THAT THE ONE ABOVE... I'm only joking you don't have to. But these aren't the best I admit!)

(Can be landscape or portrait photo. Does not have to be a living bird if you want to enter a photo as a last tribute.)

I just saw your post for the contest. The end date for the photos is that November 20 or December 20. Today is Nov 21 so if November I’m sorry I missed out. Tuanks

THANK YOU to all who entered, and made judging this such a special experience.
I wish you could all have prizes because every bird was unique, from feathering to poise to character. It was a VERY close thing. I loved every entry though (literally) to let you know it was appreciated.
