That's fair.

Does anyone here show their orps? Do hens with leg spurs get disqualified?

Our son is bringing a gorgeous black orp hen to the 4H County Fair. Last year she won class champ as a pullet and then went on to Grand Champion out of all the chickens - even beat our blue orp cockerel!

This year thanks to molt, broodiness, rooster damage, etc, she is the only good looking hen. However, she has spurs. Nope not a rooster. She's a hen.

I’m not certain. I know she’d be in the AOV class since she’s English, but that’s it. I don’t think the English SOP states that spurs on a female is a DQ.

I know the 4H shows are more for kids' education purposes and not as strict on the APA rules. The same judge as last year - who tends to like big fluffy birds.

That's a big hen.

That's a big hen.

She sure is. That’s when she was still a pullet. She’s about 10 lbs now. Her mama was my biggest hen ever - 11lbs

I’ll try to grab a pretty photo during the exhibition

One of my broody mama hens hatched some new babies:

I wish my Swedish flower hens would brood but absolutely not interested. Ah well.
