Important Junior Show Information **Changes for the Juniors this year. Juniors may enter in the Open Show; however, they must enter a different bird than that entered in the Junior Show. Also, juniors must bring a separate bird, not entered in either Show, for Showmanship. This year we are holding a junior show separate from the open show. Juniors are welcome to enter birds in both shows if they wish but only the junior show will be counted toward junior awards. The Grand Champion of the junior show will then compete against the Grand Champion of the open show so we have a Super Grand Champion of the Show. Junior show rules will be the same as the open show with the following additions to be added: All birds in the junior show MUST be cooped in, prepped and cared for by the JUNIOR exhibitor only. No parents will be allowed in the junior show area. This prevents parents from entering birds in the child s name and the child not actually attending, and also prevents parents who might have more experience with showing and prepping from doing all the work for the child, giving them the advantage. We are encouraging more of a hands-on learning experience for the juniors of the fancy. We acknowledge that there are some very young competitors who are new at showing poultry. Therefore, we have assigned some adults who do not have children to assist the younger junior members in reading coop cards, and learning how to prep birds, etc. Also, some of the older junior exhibitors have agreed to assist the younger member who might need help. Junior Show Superintendents are Amber & Arron Fulenwider, and Andie Rupple to assist the younger exhibitors. 6

Example of the COOP card found on every cage: Exhibitor number will be at the top under the Club s name. Leg band number should match the band number on the bird in the cage. Sex of the bird will be circled by the show staff at the bottom of coop card. Type of bird is the Breed. Variety of the bird is the color. Colorado Poultry Association Exhibitor # Breed Placing Variety Band # Cockerel Pullet Cock Hen 7
