I need some affordable show quality birds, just a trio I think. I read an article in Practicle Poultry about a 5 yr old girl showing her first chicken and winning big.... so now my 5 year old daughter thinks she wants to do it lol. I wanted to get her into 4-H when she is old enough anyway so it is a good step to that. I live in the city of agricultural and animal shows anyway. We always have something going on though I have to admit... I have never heard of a chicken show.... I KNOW we have them lol. I contacted the 4-H lady here to find out if they have a cloverbud program....of course it is the weekend so... lol
Thanks for the compliments Coop Scoop, yeah the stakes are HIGH. But I have to be accepted into the contest first. They have a vote whether you are good enough to be in the show before they let you in. Then once you are in the artwork can be bought, and there are literally thousands of dollars in merit prizes. Also, if you place, 1st is 200 and 2nd is 150 and 3rd is 100 (i think... it is a lot though). Would definately help my feed bill... LOL. Actually I need the money to buy a roll of hog wire it is EXPENSIVE! lol. Besides who doesnt like to know that what they do is actually good enough that someone would want it... and its willing to pay for it lol.
Jim, you're welcome. Glad ya got em.
