Up early with the birds















Nikolas Shearer, open class poultry superintendent, says his job is babysitting 300 birds for a week. Before the fair opens, I find him climbing in cages to feed turkeys and geese. The two brown Chinese geese in this enclosure are camera-shy and hiding in the back.

Nikolas says that people are really serious about their birds in Clackamas County, with some people bringing 10-20 to the fair.

Open class poultry judging is this morning and results should be posted by 11:00.
