Show Chickens

So Hunter and I entered our first show in Morganton NC October 29th..we got 2 first and a 3rd...not too shabby for first timers....

Alot of time and effort goes into making a chicken "showable"  they eat special food, extra black oil sunflower seeds to help their feathers be shiny, and they have to be kept separate from the other chickens so as to not get into fights and ruin all your efforts.  Then of course you also have to BATHE them...which is the easy part..they just think its a day spa to relax and float around in lol...its the drying off that takes forever...3 chickens took the better part of the afternoon last time...Imagine how long the 9 I am entering this go round will take...At least none of them are white :)

Here is a sneak peek of our show line up:
