Showing and breeding season?

[L&Schickens]

I am bringing call ducks to a show tomorrow and I put them in the tub to clean them selves up. Well, my best white hen has a lump on her head and I know it if from the male duck breeding her. She has a scab and no feathers, but some feathers do cover up the spot a little. It is noticable though. I wish I would have checked her earlier and got her out of the pen with the drake.

Anyway, will this be a big fault at the show tomorrow?

 

[L&Schickens]

No one has the answer? Well, I guess I will find out tomorrow. I will let you know how we do.

the judges do take breeding into consideration, but if you have 2 hens that are the same, the hen in better condition would win....Most of our females stay home during breeding season.

Yes and White Calls are very popular so I doubt that the judges will spend much time on your hen unless she is very special.

Well, she kicked but, lumpy head and all. Mrs. White got best bantam, best duck best waterfowl and reserve in show!!!!!!!!!!!
