Walking into the OH Nationals was amazing!!
We got there early, as birds were being checked in. Some were still getting their beauty treatments. Combs were rubbed with vaseline and polished up, some birds were being blown dry, some were being smoothed and soothed and massaged.

We stood on the balcony, overlooking 44 rows of cages stacked double high. 44 rows!

It was amazing, and I was very glad to be there!!

Cetawin had trusted us with her darling daughter, and we took a moment to get a picture of me, my daughter, and Cetawin's daughter:

Some of the BYC-ers, plus Neil Grassbaugh (wearing th tie):

There were a lot of birds for sale, as well as poultry supplies. It was nice getting some items that aren't easy to find in our area. It was great seeing all the sale birds!! Between show birds and sale birds we're guessing there were at least 10,000 birds at the OH Nationals.

I was doing great at resisting bird purchases. There were a lot of pretty birds, but I already am at max capacity. And most of them made me think a smug 'I like my birds better' until I saw these:

A pair of white d'Uccles. The cockeral is gorgeous, and held himself like a champion. The pullet doesn't have as nice foot feathers, but she's a little doll. I love it that he is very well-mannered towards her, too.

So, the whole trip was wonderful, and I would go again in a heartbeat.
But, the hot shower after a day spent indoors with 10,000 birds was a wonderful experience as well

Getting some picks up soon....love my new birds...

I came home with 4 lemon blue bantam pullets and a cockerel and a nice show quality standard black cochin cockerel! He is only 4-5 months old and huge! The parent stock was in the show and had already won some of the categories but the champion had not been decided when we left. So, I'm curious if they won grand champion or not?? I'm not sure if the lady was a BYCer or not, but the tag on the cage said "premiere silkies". I'll have to get pictures later, but I won't be home today to get it done. It was a wonderful show!

This is true...lol but I'm pretty sure my husband would have refused the shipment AND refused to pick me up at the airport

Feel free to chime in on the birds that I forgot to note their breed. Most of them I took a photo of the card but forgot on a couple.
