There were several raffles. One was for this handmade quilt.
..and there were over a thousand birds!
..and not just chickens, but unique and beautiful pigeons..
..geese and quite a few types of ducks too.
..but I do have to say that the real show was with the many different breeds and colors of chickens!
..and here are a few pictures of our farm hens.. Last year we purchased 6 chicks that were suppose to be 6 Barred Rock pullets. Turns out one of the six was a black sex link pullet.
..and the other 5 did turn out to be nice big Plymouth Barred Rock's that lay exceptional eggs!
..and here are the 2 new girls. They are Light Brahma pullets and will get larger than the Barred Rocks!
I just love the new little girls. They look like they have little ruffled panties on!

Those new girls are definitely cute and so is the crate!
Light Brahma's are amazing. I have 7 of them and they are the sweetest, gentlest, most loving birds and they lay wonderful eggs!
I believe the ducks are Indian runner ducks, who can lay nearly an egg and day, and do not waddle. They RUN.
The long legged chicken is a Modern Game Cock. The bantams have bodies so small they can fit in the palm of your hand.
But, they have never forgotten they are relatives of dinosaurs. My dad raised show fowl and I lived in fear of the game cocks.
I swear that one tall leggy chick had black spandex on lol!
Thank you for the tour; they are all so unique!
