I had a great time at the fair, but it was very draining! I'm glad to be home, and i'm glad to have all my birds home safe and sound. What an ending! Must have poured raining for most of an hour! Whats more crazy then home time at the fair? home time delayed by rain and hampered by lots of mud!
There was a lot of help to be had though, many people willing to lend a hand to put birds away for you, or help you load and collect your coop cards, that was a great help! Made home time a lot easier (once the weather co-operated) and faster which was great because all the poultry people, cattle people and pig people were all trying to leave at the same time.
It figures that the last day of the fair shortly before packing up my tom finally started strutting lol. Couldn't resist snapping a photo with his rosette. I'd made a flier for poults next spring, and there was lots of interest in them and future breeding stock, its nice to see people interested in the turkeys.

I snapped a photo of my blue marans roo in the crow off in the rooster crowing contest. Poor birds, was soo hot that they wouldn't crow for the tie breaker. But when it was all said and done he won first prize!
I look forward to next year, but in the short term look forward to a break lol, see you all next year!
