DEPARTMENT K

DIVISION I - POULTRY

Bruce and Joyce Tingle, Superintendents

 

All Cochise County poultry raisers are eligible to exhibit and compete.  Birds which are unsightly, vermin ridden, or show evidence of disease will be rejected.  Any bird deemed unworthy of placement will not be given an award.

To all exhibitors showing poultry, pigeons and rabbits:

1.     No exhibitor shall release birds at the Fairground.

2.     No exhibit is to be sold until the last day of the Fair.  Anyone selling at the Fair will be held responsible to see that the buyer receives what he bought.  These transactions are strictly between buyers and sellers.

3.     Any violation of these rules will forfeit the exhibitor’s privilege to show the following year.

 

The poultry show will be held under the rules of the American Poultry Association.  The American Standard of Perfection, published by the American Poultry Association, will be used as a reference.  Judging will commence at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, September 28, 2000.

Entry Fees:

Singles, twenty-five (.25) cents

Trios, seventy-five (.75) cents

 

Entries close at midnight September 18, 1999.  The management reserves the right to close entries sooner if show capacity is reached before that date.  Entry forms may be obtained from the Department Superintendents or the Fairgrounds’ General Office and must be on file before the closing date.  No exceptions.  All birds must be identified by easily readable, numbered leg bands attached by the owner.  These bands should be of sturdy plastic or metal.  Leg band numbers are to be on entry blanks for each bird.  Birds exhibited in trios may not compete for single prizes, and birds exhibited singly may not compete for trio prizes, but all birds are eligible for Championship Award.  Many varieties of poultry have both large and bantam subdivisions.  Be sure to state whether large or bantam on your entry blank.  Classes will be provided for all pure bred varieties of large poultry and bantams,  which are recognized by the American Poultry Association.
