No big deal :) we all do silly things from tint to time :)

Is there a difference between show quality and show ready? As a rooster I believe with some game bird feed I could get enough blood flow going through his comb to make it erect. One could provide different ointments and such to the comb to make it more alert and healthy. He looks like a...

Being a Rooster, he indeed is a poor layer. PS these are not my birds, so be as open as you would like :)!

I always get a kick out of doing this. It's a great way to learn and even play devils advocate, feel free to kindly debate if you disagree. The key is to be as objective as possible. I will announce the winner in 7 days, sorry no prize money or gifts. Your prize will be that your name will be...

Good job guys! I haven't seen another Delaware with a tail at such a high pitch, I think her color is good. Obvious, problem with her comb. Anything else?

This Delaware Hen Is pure Delaware no tricks on crossings. This is to help develop that fine eye for exhibition birds.

No, I did not lie. I just found out the Lav hen may have came contact with the barred rock roo not the lemon cuckoo Orp roo. As i said I welcomed the insight on the bird. It's just an exercise on improving ones eye on judging. If you would read carefully you would see that I said that his...

Truth is it turns out that he is a barred rock Lavender Orp. Cross. I enjoy playing devils advocate. If he was a buff I would not consider showing him, NYREDS was spot on on his observation, however, made many assumptions outside just evaluating the bird. It was somewhat humorous. I have 20...

I found exhibiting in state. Fairs has given me platform to help people get into raising backyard bird when then they previously haven't. I exhibit White Leghorns and Delawares. 2 breeds in Utah that can thrive on pasture and little grain without decreasing egg production. I would feel fantastic...

The cuckoo was never intended for exhibition anyhow. He color is not recognized in the USA. I do want him to fit the standard, but I really want him to produce amazing Lav chicks, that are big, feather fast, and overall sturdy. So far his chick are that. :)

He has been on semi-free range. I watched him and mounted to Delaweres. I was very happy to see. Perhaps he just needs some sunlight. I will still worm him and provide him with with extra vitamins. I need his feathers, size, and coomb to be one were. He gets a lot of attraction at the state...

Does it make a difference he is only 6 months old?

Not offended at all. Educated opinions are what I am requesting. What was trying to say is that most Lavender variety birds are still in the project stage. Most are not equal to the buffs, however we are working on it. It will take some time. You indicated that the coloring would not alone...

Perhaps, these are not the best pictures for judging. I guess just do your best if you want to play along :)

First I understand that his color disqualifies him for exhibition. We are using him in a breeding project with pure Lavender Orpingtons as we find it attractive to have faint stripes in the lavender Orps. It simply gives them a little more flare. As many of us know then Lavender orpington is...
