Flees was honest with the kids but careful not to discourage any of them. He helped the participants to understand proper holding of the birds and what they could do throughout the year to help make their birds more competitive at future poultry shows. Flees was also very knowledgeable about the three ducks and four dozen eggs that were entered as well. He helped those participants understand how to tell the gender of a duck by its quack and feathers and what makes a good dozen eggs to show in a contest. The show ended with the Junior Showmanship contest. Flees again spoke with all eight competitors to help them improve where needed but allow them to take the lead in showing their birds. He asked questions and took several minutes with each entrant to listen, talk, and evaluate their showmanship abilities. [Matt Boutcher]
