BEST IN SHOW 2026All hail Lady Liberty 🗽
Dressed in stars, stripes, and pure star power, Lady Liberty strutted past a stacked field of superheroes, sheriffs, and sequined gowns to take home the whole show. Judges' verdict: unanimous chills. Crowd's verdict: deafening.
Her prizes? A one-of-a-kind golden chicken trophy, handcrafted by Kayela of Princess of Poultry 3D Printing & Crafts, who made every winner's trophy this year — and, because Best in Show deserves the works, a huge one-of-a-kind chicken weathervane, courtesy of Tractor Supply.

Every gorgeous shot in this gallery is the work of Asher of Ashton Leigh Photography, who spent the whole day chasing feathers and catching magic. If you need a photographer who can make even a chicken look like a supermodel, she's your person.

And All of You
To our sponsors, vendors, volunteers, contestants, and every single person (and chicken) who came out — you made the 2026 Chicken Fashion Show an incredibly fun day. This event exists because of you.
2027: The flock gets bigger.
The 3rd Annual Chicken Fashion Show is already in the works — and we're dreaming big. Think other animals on the runway, and maybe even humans-dressed-as-chickens contests in the lead-up to the main event. More runway, more categories, more golden chickens.
More animals joining the runway
Human chicken-costume contests
Even more golden trophies
If this page made you smile, be the reason it happens again.
The show stays free because people who love it chip in. Toss a few bucks in the feed bucket and you're officially part of the flock that makes 2027 happen.
