I belong the the Missouri Poultry Association. We are the ones who sponsor the shows in April and October in Sedalia.

Things seem to have gotten away from your question. first, runner ducks are judged differently than other fowl. Most, not all, but most of the time they are placed in a small ring so thejudge can look at them in a natural upright state and observe them walk. Only then can a runner be judged...

Jim Zimmerman out of Kansas has excellent birds and he does sell at shows.

We've shown turkeys for years and every judge does it differently. I think the main thing are the numbers entered. The more entered the more the judge has to handle in inspect for defects.

Americana-Old English mutt. No matter, it is not a pure-bred.

Dub when the combs and waddles are near fully grown.Too soon and the comb will get a little bigger and you may have to take off the excess. As far as show quality, I'm not anexpert on the variety, but I can say it is hard for a Mille to beat most of the other varieties. In fact, I have not seen...

Do it as you would chickens. Remember it is not rocket science.

Traveling as a day old makes for a lot of stress. Losing birds after shipping is common, unfortunately.

I use Wazine every year with the first serious thaw of winter and after the first serious frost in the fall here in Missouri. This is especially true for turkeys. I really do not care if there is a two week withdraw, because if the birds get a large infestation, then it could be a permenant...
