This book is all about showing poultry in the fair and what that means. It tells you about the best breeds to show, how to bathe a bird, and much more.
I found this book really helpful and I can't wait until my younger sister reads it to get ready to be eligible for state.
Would totally recommend this to anyone who has poultry of their own.
