Results from nationals. The Judge, who I think is pretty good in OZ, said "nice bird" to the one I posted above. I think the tail is too long but he said the foundation are there.

“A very good effort.” Said the judge. Got a ribbon as best in class at a class. As I have to compete with more established breeds and colours, there were a number of birds in AOV . As we showers know it is hard for a blue to compete against other colours etc. So I must be doing something right...

I agree, I have one with red ear lobs and yellow legs but her tail is far too long, at least yours has the body shape, it is all in the sharing.

chickens

I took my hens and cockerels for comment (which are not there yet). I find that it takes my pullets a good 18 month + to achieve their body shape.

Encouragement award I think. They did like 1 of my hens

She shows a bar, but she is a f1, She was breed from my mutant to a bared Roo, I think her head is ok her legs are yellow, but this washes out when she lays, her body shape has potential except for the tail. We will C what happens this hatching year

Had to add this one to the discussion, probably my best hen from last year, her tail lets her down.

Nice head, nice colour.

Thanks mate, I will go that way, I feel that if I can enough chickens on the ground I might hit something. I may have to take a bit of a shot gun approach. I was hoping to get back to 1 rooster for next year.

I was really surprised that the judge gave him 1st, I think he was overwhelmed by his size. Judges in OZ have never seen a Blue Rock and I do not think they are over the standards. I put him in the show to create discussion which I got. We will see what happens at the nationals next month, I...

OK I will be a dope, if a bird colour e.g. Blue is in the standards how come it is not recognised? I am new to the show business!!!!

Agree, so did the show manager (who is a friend) just a matter of which, may take a shot gun approach and give 6 good hens/pullets. The problem in my mind is that he is so big I may have to give him hens as the pullets take a good 12 months to gain size. I have a couple of months to go before I...

Working on it becoming recognised, I think I am getting towards the colour, the big Cockerel is let down by his legs, will work on it season. Thanks for your comments.

Showed my birds at a regional Show in OZ today, thought I would share the results, Had to put them in AOV class:- 1st Cock 1st Cockerel 2nd Cockerel 1st, 2nd 3rd Pullet
