I wonder if PTO would be able to persuade a Qualified poultry Judge to comment on birds displayed by PTO members?
This is from an Ausie Forum and seems like if would be a fun learning experience?

I would love to get some feedback from judges about my turkeys.

I'm Game ! Have done a few of these on another site... ( officiating that is) .... My only thought is all that participate must be able to stand my brutally honest comments... I do not sugar coat things...as stated I am honest ... I will point out the good and the bad in a professional manner but if you are looking for me to say something is quality and it is not.. sorry not the one to be your judge lol. Some ground rules would need to be set up... Ie Must be owned and in procession of the exhibitor( no birds from others or birds that have been sold) , must be a side profile picture ( so the bird can be assessed with integrity and accuracy ) ... must be submitted by a certain date .. ( no late or additional entries ie ringers once the entry field has been set ) after the fact... Just some ideas.. not willing to organize but willing to be a judge for you if needed.

That sounds great. I need honesty because there's no point wasting my time with poor or DQ birds when it comes to my breeding efforts.!

Thank you for the offer, you are a prince amongst men :)
Brutally honest would be just what is needed.
If one picture per entry would be sufficient, I would be happy to organize.
Now the all important question, is there enough interest?
So please raise your hand if you would participate and if yes, what would you exhibit?

Yes I would participate in the online poultry show and would exhibit LF Chickens

I will exhibit Standard RIR and Beltsville Small White Turkeys!

This is pretty exciting, thanks for bringing this idea up OC!

And thank you Troy for offering to be the judge. I cant think of a better person to do it!

This is a great idea! No one should be offended by honesty, how else can someone learn to improve and it's nothing personal against the owner of the bird. Of course saying one of "my" birds doesn't cut it would be like saying my kids are ugly so there's gonna be major trouble if...... hahaha, just kidding.
