Activity & Contest Details

Youth exhibitors are kindergarten age up to 19 years old. Up to 5 chickens per class may be entered by a youth exhibitor.

 

Adult exhibitors, 20 years old or older. (Post high school) One chicken per class as an entry.

 

The available cages will be assigned by class and breed on a first come basis by the poultry superintendent. Exhibitors are responsible for watering and feeding their animal(s). Birds should be 6 months or older, in good health, clean and proper hygiene maintained.

 

Please try to have breed identified before bring to the fair. Exhibitors can be present during judging to answer questions related to the animal.

 

Birds can be shown as individuals or trios (two hens and a cock of the same breed). Trios will not be included in the individual classes, until the best of show is judged.

Prior to entering any bird into the poultry area, it will need to be checked by an independent tester on site. The tester will take a blood test to detect pullorum-typhoid, a very contagious disease. If the bird has the disease, it will be sent to the state headquarters and will not be returned to the exhibitor.
