Hello,
I had a super day today at the southport and ormskirk poultry show, in Holmeswood. It is mainly unique, with having its own club room, i am guessing the only club with its own club room in Great Britain. With the Poultry Club of Great Britain Championship Show Status, there was plenty of competition! Especially with the Juniors, with the Junior Handeling class, which i took part in, and recieved a 3rd. There was also True Bantam Male and Female classes, Soft and Hard Feather classes, Waterfowl classes and Egg classes, all for the juniors! I also won Best True Bantam Trio. They also had a fantastic raffle, with 1st prize being £150 and 2nd £75, all to raise money for new show pens. I do have to agree that, this is what makes poultry showing in Britain Great! These are the backbone of the Poultry Club Of Great Britain! Well done to the whole committee, and everyone else who made the show possible! Well done to S & G Hodge who won best in show with a stunning Rosecomb Cockeral and P Watkinson who got reserve best in show with a modern game pullet!
While i was at the show, i was approached by Mrs Smith, and she was telling me about this fantastic scheme when they go to schools and Care homes and they go through a hatching programme with the children or the older people, when they have finished with the scheme they have got chicks (isa warrens) and they are giving them away for free! Perfect if you want to start with chickens!
