I love how Firefly is just taking a nap cuz she's like "might as well". xD
This is my first year doing 4h, and this video is helping me SO MUCH! I had no idea how to show my birds and have had a hard time finding out how, but then I stumbled onto this channel! You girls are awesome! Thankyou sooo much!
That is so GREAT to hear Keziah! Thanks for watching and let us know if you have any more questions about showing your chickens.
@@BarSZRanch I do have a question, what breeds are the "best" for showing? Or what breeds do you suggest?
@@BarSZRanch do you have to debeak chickens to show them
@@troykasey4661 Please check the rules and regulations of any show you go to. We would be disqualified if any of our chickens were debeaked. It is possible that it may be legal in a different state.
I have a question do ffa members have to do this also or is this a 4-h thing..with the poultry
Hello, I watched this video about 3 times since it’s my first year in poultry showmanship and I won reserve! It was super helpful and easy advice. Thank you so much for being so helpful!

Our pleasure, Mandie! Let us know if you have more questions and we will be happy to answer.
My little daughter watches y’all’s videos so she can learn and y’all made her know how to show a chicken, she is happy to show her chicken now
Greetings from Thailand. Great presentation ladies. So wonderful to see that young people in the US can still be grounded in reality, with all the nonsense going on in social media. I’m 81 and you have restored my faith. Keep up the great work and kudos to your parents.
The opening scene made my day.
It's always an adventure when filming chickens.
Thank you 4:58

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
any tips for a 5 year old showing peewee with a Rhode island red? her hand is not big enough to hold the bird.
Showing poultry is a lot of fun, but sometimes the classes in the shows take a long time to judge. We use bantam birds for showmanship! Many standard breeds come in bantam sizes - bantams can be quite a bit smaller than a standard size breed. Rhode Island Reds do come in the bantam size. The males are a little over two pounds when fully mature, and the females are just under two pounds! This smaller size of bird would be better for a 5 year old to hold. Good luck showing!
Good video thank you!
thank you I am I new poultry handler and this was very helpful
Glad we could help! Let us know if you have more questions and we will be happy to answer.

Glad we could help! Let us know how the showing goes and if you have more questions!
Great job! I want to show a chicken now! 😁
It's never too late!
So cool! How does the judging work? Do you get a letter grade, or a single score out of 100, or multiple scores in different categories? And then is there a blue ribbon for the winner? It would be really neat to attend a competition and see it in person....
Hi Jen, There is a standardized score card where points are given in different categories. The participant with the most points wins! Ribbons are usually a part of the competition, trophies and belt buckles can also be awarded for overall winners, etc. Each show is a little different, however the exact way of judging and awards to be given are usually listed on the website or in a premium book so you can have all of that information before the show starts. Let us know if you have any more questions and thanks for watching!
Thank u this really helped me bc I'm showing my chickens in a week
Glad we could help. Let us know how it goes and good luck!
@@BarSZRanch thank u and I will
I’m entering chickens into my county fair for the first time. I’ve done rabbits in the past but this is my first year doing chickens
Howdy, Charlotte! That is so exciting! Let us know if you have any questions a how the competition goes.
Hi, I’m trying to show my seroma, and my mom has been also wanting me to so I’m gonna watch this a couple times I really hope I am able to show my chicken and I really hope this helps! I will. See if it does

@@BarSZRanch Its so great to see youngins still doing Gods work, taking care of animals and learning valuable life skills
Thank you, Elisabeth! Every day has its own adventures but we are blessed with the life we have.
I've never done show this helps so much I'm 11 and do you know some of the best types of chickens for show? And how do the chickens stay still?
Any breed of Chicken can be very fun to show. As with most animal species, different breeds of chickens have different and unique personalities. We recommend talking with a hatchery, or doing some internet research, and pick a breed (or a few breeds) of chickens that will thrive in your particular climate and that usually display a calm temperament. We love to show bantam chickens, but they can be more high strung at times than larger chickens. The more time you spend holding your chickens, the calmer they become. We work regularly with our chickens to ensure they stand still or sit still in our hands at a show!
Hi! I might join 4-H, and I have a quick question. Does the presentation have a lot of people in the crowd? I’m a little scared about that
Does the judge normally give you prompting or do you just move through this set of motions automatically?
How would you hold a very large rooster I have a partridge brahma. He is about 13 lbs.im wanting to start showing him
Hi Keri, all chickens are held the same regardless of their size:) the breast of the bird is held in the palm of your hand, the birds head faces your forearm. The birds legs are placed between your pointer and pinky fingers, with your two middle fingers supporting the breast of the bird. Showing chickens is very fun, but can be a workout for your arm, especially if you choose to show a larger bird! Let us know if you have any more questions and thanks for watching!
Should we keep our hen or rooster seperate from the rest of the flock if we plan to show them?
Where did you get the silver spangled hamburg?
Hi, Haley! The Hamburg’s name is firefly and she came from the county fair. Kailey paid five dollars in quarters and dimes to buy her a few years ago.
I don't think I ever knew chickens had ear lobes--or where they were! And your birds are SO patient! How do you get your bird to stay posed? Whoops! Steve was tired of walking with a stick! Hope that doesn't happen at the 4-H show! You guys are awesome! Good job!
Bribing the chickens with tasty treats usually helps them like hanging out with us. We buy LOTS of mealworms!
I’m doing poetry
where can i buy a poultry showmanship stick
Howdy, Judy! You can use any retractable presentation pointer. We usually go to a hardware store. Ace Hardware or Home Depot will carry the retractable sticks (ours have magnets on them). Any option like these is just fine. Thanks for watching!
How do you pose an Araucana?
Great question, Heather! When showing a chicken in showmanship, all breeds of chickens are posed pretty much the same way. It is important to work with your show chicken so that they stand quietly for a few seconds once you set them up and pose them.
Do you have to have your chickens vaccinated to show them? Pretty birds!
How many birds can you take to the show?
You will need to check the exhibitor guide to your specific fair to be sure but typically you can take as many birds to be cage judged as you would like, and you can only show one.
@@BarSZRanch thank you! It’s my first year showing.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
omg y is your roster/hen soo respectful
THANKS FOR WATCHING!
