Wow! Not just any old ribbon either. Congratulations.

[mollyripkim]

Well done, you must be thrilled.

[snailsandchickens]

Yeah I am! A big RED ribbon! hehe

She was such a good girl even when I cut her nail to short last night and made the poor girl bleed and when I wrapped her up like she was going to a chicken spa hehe

My Chris took a picture I will put it up on Flicker and link it

[jackian]

Well done I bet that's better than an Olympic gold to you .

[mimi5]

Congratulations and very well done!!!

 

I went to the show at Stoneleigh last nov and am hoping to go again this year, but only as a spectator again. Oh but the noise of all the lovely boys!!!! Hubby and my daughter came with me last year.......but not so keen this year!

 

Oh well chicken mummy with no mates!!!! Atleast I can spend as long as I like and go to some of the talks!!!

[daxigirl]

[LottyJ1]

Congratulations!

 

What breed is that?

[snailsandchickens]

Thanks Guys

@ jackian yeah it is better than an Olympic Gold hehe

@ mimi5 I had my three year old daughter with me and all she wanted to do was go and see the horses which usually I would too but all I wanted to do was talk chickens

@ LottyJ1 I am prety sure she is a Marran if that is how it is spelt

It was really good fun I was going to put them into another show this month but as a have now done the Novise class I will wait till next year when their clipped wings have grown back

wont do that again xxx

[abwsco]

Well done

[Redwing]

Well done thats brilliant - be warmed though thats shows are very addictive!

 

Sadly the hen looks like a hybrid and so would be limited to novice or crossbreed classes but its a great way to start and when you have the bug properly its worth considering a pure breed or two

[Looney]

Well done! Great pic too

[craftyhunnypie]

Ahh she is a beauty - very well done, she really deserves her rosette!

Thanks again guys

@ Redwing I do have a pure bread I was really sad she didn't get second or even first she is a Cream Legbar but I think because she is at the bottom of the Pecking order she had a few scabby nic's on her comb and they didn't like it but she has a fab tail and really good coverage of feathers a nice red comb and she had lovely clean feet too :0?

Any tips for getting her looking her best?

[snailsandchickens]

This is her the one behind the black one she is really sweet a bit flighty maybe that is why she didm;t get anything?

[Redwing]

She isnt a great example of a Cream Legbar unfortunately, they arent popular with judges at the best of times either so you are doubly struggling. I think her comb is very big - she should have a crest behind a small comb. To give her the best chance if you want to show her its worth massaging some gentle handcream or Vaseline in to her comb to heal the scabby bits, also use a small dog crate (or similar) at home to get her used to being in a small space and handle her a lot

 

Sorry to be negative! I dont mean to be honestly. Small local shows are an ideal way to build up some experience, keep at it
