Ruby gets a bath before the show.

At the show, our cousins showed us around. We learned a lot. In addition to the judging of chicken breeds, there was a raffle drawing, concessions, a silent auction, and a rooster crowing contest! All the children enjoyed looking at the different breeds of chickens. Best of all, our chicken Ruby won fist place in her category! Judah accepted the award for Ruby. We also received a trophy for participation. Our cousins won lots of awards too. A bonus for me (Mom) was that I won a new watering device for our chicken coop in the silent auction. Everyone had a winning day at the chicken show!

Ruby has no idea she is a winning hen.

| If you knew how much I couldn't stand the cheap, plastic watering bucket I have, you would appreciate my excitement about winning this sweet, new, watering container. |
