My daughter and nephew just got red pyles and took them to a show today. This is our first show and have not had many dealings with chickens. This is a 4-H project. Ok the rooster got 3rd place and there was quite a few there. Now the hens did not place. Judge wrote a note that said their legs were the wrong color. What color legs should a red pyle have?
Next, I will have to think long and hard before letting them enter a chicken show again. It was probably 100 degrees in the barn. The judge took forever and would not release the ones that had been judged already when they took a break. Now, it was hot the chickens looked miserable and had been pecked by other chickens in other pens.
This was our first time am I wrong for worrying, is this how all shows are or what. Can anyone give me some ideas please. I am very upset and discouraged. We had to deal with rudeness last night and my daughter had been showing at this show for 5 or 6 years. Then people wonder why participation is dropping. A person who is a newcomer to something will get easily discouraged.
Thank you so much for letting me vent and helping me with these problems,
