Obstacle Course
(Also known as Poultry Zumba)
Did you know you could train a chicken to hop, duck, and run? Well, that is exactly what you get to see on the Poultry Obstacle course. It's all about how much time you've spent with your bird, do they know where to go when you tap them to change directions, are they calm, and of course are you both coordinated? This is a riot of fun to practice for and participate in. From the kids to the audience, and I suspect even to the chicken, its well worth the effort!
Each contestant will bring their birds to the start line and begin once the judge says go. The contestant will lead their bird through the course with either a show stick or a treat or both while being timed. If the bird flies forward or off the table it must be place back where it left off and then continue from there. Awards are given for the fastest times.
Check your registration packet to find out when you can practice on the course & when the event begins!
If you have not registered to participate in showmanship or exhibition, you will need to register when you arrive to receive your Exhibitor's # for participating in the poster, photo, knowledge quiz, poultry judging, or obstacle course events. Each child will need their own Exhibitor's #.
