Awards, prizes, Cash...what do you want to see at the Nationals??
Birdcrazy:
I'll vote for that!
Jean:
I will be making the egg awards for the Nationals again this year!
Don:
I spoke with James Treadway who builds Carry cases for birds. His costs are $40 ea for a three bird bantam (24x12x12) or single LF bird carrier (19x13x20). I do not know how this compared to the ones we had last year for awards or who made these? He is open to making custom sizes as needed too.
greeneggsandham:
I'd like to know if there is a list somewhere of what the competitions are for prizes? Is it Champion AOSB, BV, reserve, etc.? I've read stuff about distance traveled and I guess an egg color competition. What else is there and where can we find descriptions and rules if needed?
And as far as the egg competition, where are the rules or instructions on that? Are the eggs based on color alone, or is it presentation, shape etc? Do they have to be fresh or can they be stored eggs? Is there a minimum that must be entered? My hens are in molt that time of the year and pullets generally are not laying yet, that's why I'm wondering if they can be stored, not fresh.
Susan Mouw:
There's no list yet, Sharon. It hasn't all been finalized. We'd love to hear everyone's ideas before we commit the money (and the time for those awesome egg contest awards) to a specific set of prizes.
What would you like to see as an award?
