Shirl Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Hi everyone I've only had my chooks 3 weeks but am interested in showing. I showed my Chinese Crested dogs until I got pregnant with my little girl who is 5 months old. The preparation was too much for me. So now I'm thinking maybe chicken showing might be a replacement hobby. Certainly chickens are much cheaper to buy and keep. Does anyone here show and do you know where I could find a list of voucher shows so i can trot along and see what happens? I feel my addictive personality is raising it's ugly head again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Sorry, I don't even know what a voucher show is , but I've been thinking about going along to a show to see whats involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 A voucher show is the entry level show. Start at the bottom and work your way up is best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James H Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 sorry to sound stupid but could you dumb down entry show for somebody who has just heard about one now (thats me!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 If you can get hold of a copy of Practical Poultry, they list all upcoming shows. Keep us posted with your progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Do they Snowy? I didn't realise that - off to look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I don't see a list of shows in my last couple of copies of Practical Poultry - there's a sales and shows section on the forum though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Off to find my copy of . By entry level show I meant that it's less likely to have really high quality chooks attending. It gives you a chance to find out how things work before showing with the experts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James H Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 oooh, thanks shirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Oh, maybe it's not a regular thing then, sorry. I've not had a copy for a while, but my last one definitely had lists of shows. Sorry if I've misled you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 For anyone else that's interested I found a list in Fancy Fowl mag. You don't have to buy it if you go to www.fancyfowl.com you can register a read this months edition for free. It's got a list of shows. It doesn't say which are voucher shows but it does say which are championship level so I know not to enter those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickNic Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I don't think my Daisy would win any prizes she has a wonky beak - top one points one way and bottom the other - bless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 You could try the Practical Poultry forum, there's a section on showing, and people who do show on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
