Fair Week: Friday

Oh, my aching head. I won't go into it, but I'll just say if you ever want to do poultry with 4-H, talk to me first.

Anyway. Today Peter showed his blue silkie and then his meat chickens. Tomorrow's the auction, then we're done! :)

 Ready to go at 12:00!

 Finally up to show at 4:30 (waiting since 1:00)

 You have to hold your bird in all sorts of undignified positions when showing (see the girl next to Peter; the guy in the stripes in the judge)

 Done with a blue ribbon (though all novice showers got blue...)

 And the fryer pen judging at 6:00!

Though Peter placed last here because his chickens weren't close enough in weight, they were definitely the most active! Probably due to free-ranging- they didn't want to sit still like the others! My guess is they're a lot healthier. Anyway. Time to sleep up for tomorrow!
