Title: The Fed (pix of chix)
Post by: Melbourne12 on December 30, 2011, 17:05:18
I finally got around to doing a write-up of our visit to the National Federation of Poultry Clubs Championship Show, or "The Fed" for short.

It's mainly in pictures here http://bit.ly/vLPLN0 (http://bit.ly/vLPLN0)

It's brilliant.  The large platform and wide spacious feed area are much easier for large birds to use.  I'll see if I can get some pictures of them using it.

Lovely pics, nice to see the Ixworths and Lincolnshire Buffs, both breeds deserve to be more popular

One of my birds was on champ row last year, not as lucky this year though!  ::)

Barred Wyandotte bantams. One of mine got best soft feather bantam overall at the National in 2010  ;D We had a heck of a good season with prize after prize. This season is proving harder but i guess thats just the way it goes!  :P

OOOOOh beautiful.
Love a bit of chicken envy. The bloke behind me shows wyandottes not the gorgeous barred ones though what a lovely photo.
£120 for a trio of sussex's PHEW!
I'll stick to hatching a few eggs and growing my own.

I allowed the middle age to begin this year by joining the sussex club. Next stop false teeth and werthers filled pockets- oh no my pockets already have werthers and the odd egg. Its just the teeth to go then
