Meet Wally! I am entering her as a Novice entry under the subcategory of Hen.
We believe this is is RSL/Orpington cross gal- unsure of age but going to say 3 - 6 years maybe?
I know crosses may not be allowed in the show, but hey even dog shows have a rescue category sometimes!
The caption is simple: Wally has found her forever home.
(Rescued from being stranded in the middle of a huge parking lot on a sweltering day, we are celebrating two weeks with her today! This photo was taken the day after her rescue, when she was still not so sociable. She's become so loving and friendly, and enjoys beak rubs at bed time. LOL - my description is long, sorry! First time trying this out.)

Even though I entered my boy in this- I honestly hope you win! I live this story. Thanks for rescuing her. People can be so shitty when they dump them like that. I have a roo with a Old healed broken leg that we found when passing a March filled with predators and no houses for miles and miles. Took him a long time but he’s a sweetie today. Lives with a pet turkeys.

Hey everyone, today I saw an online poultry show and I thought I wanted to host one so here are the requirements:
-pick one of three categories to enter as Novice (it is your first show), Advanced (you have done a few but not much), Competitive (you do shows all the time and you're practically a pro)
- after that you will enter the picture as one of three subcategories based off of what you're doing:
- hen (over 6 months old)
- pullet (under 6 months old)
- rooster (over 6 months old)
- cockerels (under 6 months old)
- hatchlings (under 4 weeks old)
- chick (between 4 and 8 weeks old)

-the chick category does not have to be sexed as well as the hatchlings. If you have a chicken that is unsexed but you know the age we will put it in whatever category we need some in.
-you can caption your photo for bonus points
-you MUST put the name of the chicken, the age, your category (novice, advanced, and competitive), your subcategory (hen, rooster, pullet, etc.), and the breed example down below:

Novice- Hen- This is Cashew my 10-month-old Rhode Island red-
Cashew is looking in the dirt for worms
You can have up to five entries.
The contest ends on October 1st, 2020. To submit photos reply to this thread. The prizes for each category and subcategory will be announced soon!
Thanks and good luck!

I’m certainly a novice at entering any sort of animal show. But I think I’ve got some pretty nice photos of my lovely girls. So I’m entering each of them.
This is Miss Eggysness (aka Agnes) she’s 2.2 years old OEGB. She’s my broody girl and she’s a wonderful momma hen

Next up are her daughters that you see in that last photo (Abigail on the left, Lucie on the right). Miss Eggysness has done a fine job growing her girls into lovely little pullets. Both are just hitting 18 weeks this week. Abby is a Blue Plymouth Rock and Lucie is our Ameraurcana.

and finally in memory of my sweetest girl ever. This is Miss Annie, our lovely little Barred Rock. She passed away in June from pancreatic cancer. She was 3 at the time. We miss her sweet, gentle spirit every day.

So there we have it. Our entire little flock all up as contenders in this show.

@Noellereagan - Thank you so much! :,) I ended up making her a little journal in Pictures and Stories here just to share her story. It’s not a dramatically special one, but gosh she’s been such a great girl. I’m amazed by the ability of animals to move through tough experiences and trust again.

@CA2PTChickenChick - The photo by the keyboard and computer of your little chicken just tickles me! That chook is ready for some online learning!

Since I work from home, they’ve become the quarantine office crew. They are very good at looking over my shoulder to see what I’m doing. Just like nosy human colleagues!

@CA2PTChickenChick - They have to check for spelling errors! That, or they are secret receptionists and answer the phone when you’re away. LOL
