Junior Modern Game Report
We had a great turnout at the Spring Show this year. In the Junior department, seven Modern Games were shown. Laura Fenton won Best of Variety and Best of Breed with her Birchen Pullet. Her Birchen Cockerel also got Reserve of Variety. Elizabeth Clapp came in with Best of Variety and Reserve of Breed with her Brown Red Cock. Her Brown Red Hen got Reserve of Variety. Cameron Morgan also exhibited his Birchen Modern Games. His hens won first and second place and his cock got first place.
In the future, I hope to see more Juniors exhibiting their Moderns, and maybe some different varieties besides Birchen and Brown Red! Congratulations to all of the exhibitors, and best of luck in upcoming shows!!

Junior Show Report
The NEAG show was quite small this year, but there were lots of beautiful birds. Unfortunately, only 3 juniors entered with a total of 6 birds!! My Brown Red Cock won Best Modern (which wasn’t too difficult seeing as I was the only one showing Moderns!!) and also Reserve Junior Bird. My Brown Red Hen got Reserve of Breed. Kellie Farnum’s BB Red Old English Cock won the best Junior Bird in Show. Stacey Young also exhibited her Old English. Hopefully the show will have a better turnout next year and we will have more than 3 junior entries!!
