    Showing hens in 4H

    Hello, I’m wondering if anyone has a sort of guide for preparing and showing hens at a county 4H competition. For goats/sheep there are guides for how much to feed and how to care for their wool, etc. but I haven’t found anything like that for poultry. Any tips would be great, thanks!

    Are Murray Mcmurray's birds show quaility? Is this a good hatchery?

    I would be in the future possible interested in the sebrights (both gold and silver) and Egyptian Fayoumis along with other bantam breeds and possibly their French Black Copper Marans. Are their birds show quality and what are your experiences with this hatchery? Good or not? Thx,
