Mollie333 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) Been reading online and in my book about showing. I have Pekins, will these be ok in the shows or do you think i would be wasting my time on this.. Frizzle Mottled Pekin Wheaten/Salmon Pekin.

bevmatt Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I am sorry I don;t know one end of a pekin from another but i would say..... You have probably chosen the hardest breed for showing - and that's because there is loads of competition in the pekin classes! I started showing last year and was really nervous but after my first show I was hooked. The best thing to do is have a go and if nothing else you can have a word with the judge afterwards to find out what they think about your birds. Showing is a great way to meet new poultry people and i have found on the whole everyone is lovely and friendly - thats so long as you wait until after they have finished preparing their birds for the pen! (beforehand you are likely to get a grunt as stress levels can be high!) Have a go - you have nothing to loose and you never know you may come home with a prize! Good luck.

joza2210 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Thanks Bev,What breeds are easy to show please? There is a few breeds moll The hardest competition is pekins and games i would say ... And It can sometimes range to orpingtons and belgian bantams ... I would say rhode island reds and stuff like that would have less competition ... BUT ... If there is a rare breeds section at your show i would enter frizz into that ... You can only try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
