Some classes for other species of fowl can be added like pheasants, quail, wild waterfowl, cage bird and even emus. However, these birds are not usually considered domestic poultry and require special facilities and permits. The above is only a basic structure for classes which you can follow. If you have a large number of different breeds or varieties shown at your exhibit you can further divide any of the classes in this structure to meet your show's needs. The more you break down the class, the more premiums or awards you will need to cover the classes.
Youth exhibits only.
In addition to the above classes, the following make excellent youth project classes at fairs. For this class, youth all receive broiler chicks or turkey poults at the same time. These classes are sold much like other livestock at the fair. Each chicken must weigh between 3 lbs. Each turkey must weigh between 14 lbs. and 30 lbs.
