We are still on for showmanship today!!

To keep it fair for all of the exhibitors, we do not livestream the exhibitors, but will post some videos afterwards.

I know there are quite a few of you that wanted to sign up and only limited spots, so stay tuned... If we get ahead of schedule (we are doing pretty well after getting caught up) or we have any no-shows, we will be posting the timeslot and link here - it will be first come, first serve, whoever is ready to go!

Open Largefowl Judging – Tomorrow
**Postponed due to connnection issues, rescheduled to Tuesday, July 8th**

The Open Largefowl Division of the 2025 Virtual Poultry Show kicks off tomorrow, and we invite you to be part of it.

Whether you're an experienced exhibitor, a first-time viewer, or simply curious about largefowl breeds, this is a great opportunity to learn, connect, and support the exhibitors who put so much time into their birds.

Showmanship Sign-Ups Are Now Open

Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, this is your chance to step into the virtual ring and show off your skills. Our 2025 Virtual Poultry Show Showmanship Division is open to all ages, including adults.

Participants will sign up for a 15-minute live time slot to present their bird to the judge over video. It’s a great opportunity to get one-on-one feedback, build confidence, and demonstrate everything you’ve learned.

Sign up here:
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0549ABAB2FA3FBC70-57453290-showmanship

Divisions:

Elementary (ages 5–10)
Middle School (ages 11–13)
High School (ages 14–18)
Adult (ages 19+)

You must be ready and on time for your scheduled slot. That means:
A stable internet connection
A working camera and microphone
Your bird, prepped and ready to go
One entry per exhibitor — no redos or make-ups

Spots are limited, so if you’re interested, don’t wait to sign up. We’d love to see participants from all age groups take part in this year’s showmanship division.

*PFA, we will be giving several rosettes and awards out to division winners and the best overall showman!

Update: It looks like it's an issue with the Google Cloud Storage that the website is linked to. This is also why the images aren't loading. I have a tech request in, and am expecting them to fix it by tomorrow morning - they're usually fairly fast. The timer is updated and entry deadline will be extended as needed.

In the meantime, I got word from our awards coordinator Ashley Hefty that our ribbons came in - they look fantastic!

Hi all,

I've got about 50+ messages in my inbox with issues entering the show today. As I said in earlier posts, I wasn't able to get to my messages this weekend. I just finished cleaning up poultry barn for our county fair- it has been an exhausting but great week as superintendent, and right now I'm running on about 4 hours of sleep.

I will see what's going on with the system, and how long it has been happening, and fix it. It is possible I will extend the deadline for everyone.

Thanks everyone for being patient and keeping the emails polite - hang tight if you don't personally hear back from me tonight yet. I will get this fixed and keep you all updated.

Only 5 Days Left to Enter the 2025 Virtual Poultry Show!

The countdown is on—entries close in just 5 days, and no late entries will be accepted this year. If you're planning to participate, now is the time to get everything submitted. Do not wait until the last minute.

The Virtual Show is free to enter and open to all poultry types—chickens, ducks, turkeys, guineas, quail, and more. Every entry receives feedback from licensed judges, and this year we have over $1,500 in prizes, recognition for rare breeds, youth, showmanship, and a full YouTube judging series highlighting your birds.

Very important: I will not be available Friday, Saturday, or Sunday to help with any entry issues. That means if something goes wrong over the weekend, I won’t be able to fix it. Please submit your entries now so we can resolve any issues early.
