This last week we went to the
Winter Brisk (put on by the Washington Feather Fanciers ) to enter, sell, and look at poultry.The weather outside was cold but nice and warm inside the barn with lots of sounds of different poultry. This was an impressive Bourbon Red turkey displaying for us.
This little Modern game bantam looked like he was walking on stilts.
.
There were lots of different kinds of poultry there this year and some that I have never seen, including these frizzled Belgian D'anvers .
I entered some birds as well, although I didn't manage to get photos of them at the show. ( I took some pictures afterwards.) Overall my birds did good. They got Reserve of Breed , Reserve of Variety and some firsts, pretty good considering there was a lot of good competition this year.
One of the Mille Fleur pullets I entered.
Her dad Copper.
My Black Mottled hen . I managed to sell almost all my chicks at the show, and also picked up a new bird from the breeder with the winning Porcelains to add a new bloodline to my birds. Overall my birds did good. I sold 12 birds ,got a new one and met some other good breeders, and I look forward to going next year !
