Poultry Fitting & Showmanship

4-H Cloverbud members CAN participate in this Contest/Project/Show Area.

Since poultry fitting and showmanship contests focus on the bird and you, both will be evaluated. The judge will evaluate your ability to select and care for the bird you show in the contest as well as your ability to demonstrate your knowledge of management, handling, posing and examining the bird. Throughout the contest, the judge will evaluate your skills, attitude and appearance. Fitting and showmanship contests also generally include a quiz as part of the competition.
