More about the Chicken Show Contest

Young people who wish to exhibit their poultry projects at the Southeastern Youth Fair must document the progress of their chickens and describe what they learned by keeping their record book. The judge looks for birds with proper body conformation, sexual maturity, and healthy plumage condition and skin color. The completed record book, detailing the work done on this project must be turned in with the birds in order for the exhibitor Chicken to compete in this show.
