I've heard rumor that there will be a show around here next month.

Wish I knew when and where, I'd be taking our BW roo and a couple BW hens.

Just found your thread. Your chicks are quite lovely. I know nothing about showing either. But, they are a fine looking bunch.

My Mother-in-law grew up on a chicken ranch in Cotati, CA almost 70 years ago. The property is still owned by the family, and some of the old chicken barns are still standing. I went to the property and scrounged around and found two of thoes cages, but only one porcelin bowl. They were very rusty. I took a wire brush to them and coated them with rust converter. They came out pretty good. They do work well keeping the chickens out of the water, except I have one hen, I call the circus chicken, that keeps jumping up there and perching on it with her two feet on top of each other. I also used the wood off one of the barns that had fallen to give my coop that rustic look. You can see my coop on my personal page.
I don't know if they made those cages any more, but they are very effective.
