Billy and I took 6 chickens to the fair this year...On Thursday I saw 4 blues 1 red and 1 white on the cages.. Sweet I thought, it was fun and I was happy. I heard them talking they had not picked a grand in one class and did not think about it. Friday I went back to check on them and the Blue was gone from my sexlink and there was a Grand rosette hanging on the cage. My First thought was some kids played a joke and moved ribbons since there was no notation on the card on her cage.. All weekend I waited for the owner to collect the ribbon and put it back were it belonged... Sunday I sold two Roo's. one being Haystacks son and one a banty that Billy and I hatched beautiful holland. The boy wanted to join 4H so I pointed him in the direction of a club by him, and charged him 5 Bucks for both birds... He was a happy camper. I loaded up the chickens, and well 2 more that I had bought, and grabbed all the ribbons even the grand. I am waiting for the results to come out in the newspaper and if it is not mine, I will make sure they get the ribbon back... BUT if it is mine I will so do the chicken dance.
I could not have done so good with out the help of ALL my friends here at DG... I have been so lucky over the years to have such good advise... Billy and I are truly blessed...
The girl in the middle is the one with the Rosette ribbon, and Haystacks son is to the right.. The girl on the left I bought at the fair.
OH And I learned about the feed and water cups here on DG as well, worked wonderful..
