It’s a good thing we are going upstate when we are, cause the hurricane is expected to hit nyc and then go up through where we live, but Syracuse won’t get hit I think. Just hope our animals will be ok

These dummies really are entering EEs as Ameraucanas….wtf
There was a few pure ones tho

This seems like a very lackluster show since the birds aren’t fantastic quality and a lot are in poor physical condition. But this isn’t the main fair attraction anyway.

I did see one Danvers
No idea how good his quality is

plus some other cool breeds
Again no idea which of these are actually good quality.

@Amer question, do judges deduct points on poor bird health or ratty/missing feathers? I assume so. On that front alone my hatchery hens could beat out half the birds here

Yeah I am not really surprised by poor quality but it is a state fair so it’s kinda like reallly??? The Jr. birds at my fair were a lot better. The open show birds were better but not as good as the jr bitds.
I like the lacing on that EE tbh

That d’Anvers looks like he’d be a good pullet breeder.

Bird health yes. They shouldn’t emphasize missing feathers as much as they do because it’s summer when birds are at their worst but they still do. Your birds would def beat those examples since they look hatchery quality too and your birds are just gorgeous.
