It's time for the local chicken beauty pageant, commonly referred to as the County Fair. Never having been in one before, I wasn't very interested in the details. I decided to check out the rules, just for fun.
The first rule says, "The Judge will use as a guide the American Standard of Perfection. All birds will be judged by comparison." I got pumped up after hearing that one. Although I try not to be too vain, I felt sure I could win. The prize money for first place would almost pay for a big sack of chicken feed, or better yet, chicken scratch. Yum!
I didn't fully understand the next 2 rules---something about definition of terms and breeding pens. But rule #4, caused me to put the brakes on. The words that struck fear in my heart were "pullorum-typhoid BLOOD TEST." Yikes! "BLOOD TEST" means needles, right?
I think I'll just stay home. The nice lady can take pictures of the contestants and show them to me.
