They participated in showmanship, the skillathon and showing their chickens. The members who participated are Serena Humphrey, Trinity Edenfield, Allie Crago, Ryan Mau and Makenzie Griffith.
In showmanship, the participants must show their skills in performance. In the skillathon, the participants must answer questions regarding the animal they are showing. Finally, when showing their chickens, the chickens are judged on their breed’s traits, such as structural correctness.
