Kickin' the can this Sunday morn whilst remembering the late Mr. Blosl. Gosh that just seems unreal.... In Bob's honor, Thought I'd post a pic of my Buff Rock pullet today...she's now 15 weeks. Looking forward to that tail coming in...I'll be sure to get a profile side view then. Overall she's...

Joseph, I sure wouldn't mind being in your shoes for those clerking assignments. NICE. I'm a bit green with envy, I must confess....what a wonderful experience it will be on many levels!

Joseph, those widths indeed appear to more than satisfy the SOP!!

Buff Rock pullet at almost 14 weeks...Big girl still getting her new adult tail in of course...too busy grazing to get a profile photo which would be misleading without a tail anyway. Just figured I'd post up a pic for the thread today

Walt- forgot to add that I am loving this male's uber nice topline!

Congrats!! One thing's for sure Walt...these ain't BROWN!!! Looking forward to seeing more of your nice "ORANGE chickens" as Bob says. Cindy

Joseph, Here's a good link to check out for the washing and/or show prep. Very nice gal and Master Exhibitor who's taken the time to put this up on her website. She's done very well with White Silkies and White Rocks, most recently. http://www.harvestbreezefarm.com/PreparingforShow.html

Joseph- Scrub legs/feet first....then after washing with the Tide, you can add Downy softener to the rinse water for a nice finish to the feathers. Some like to add some white vinegar to the first tub rinse after the Tide cleansing...then you could of course do the Downy as well. I think it is...

Well... I will be taking the exhibition 'plunge' on entering some young birds in my first show come late November at the Tucson show in AZ...reportedly a nice show with 1000+ birds from surrounding states as well. My Keipper cages should arrive this week...I will use them for a host of...

dried mealworms (Kaytee brand is excellent) and meat scraps (chopped well) at least 3x weekly...high quality canned cat foot (chunky style not pate) low or no sodium tuna sometimes, if birds will eat- some do and some don't

For clarification... These pullets are in Nebraska at XW Poultry, many of us do have this cross but Jeremy took these photos at his place and said I could post them. I took the photos and watermarked them just in case the fine print gets lost along the way. All good. So glad everyone has...

That's what I'm talkin' bout

With reference to these XW/Jwhip crosses.... 2 words= DUAL PURPOSE I must say that I am loving this cross...definitely worth going forward...Bring on the F2's

Jeff, I need to get some posted up of the pullets here in AZ...got a real nice male that's come on even nicer...I posted him awhile back. I will try to get some over next few weeks.

Here's some of those nice heritage LF "orange chickens"

Several 'barn cats' have done very well me in keeping the rodent population down along with good 'housekeeping'

GQF genesis is a good incubator...and good hatcher...1 for each purpose is ideal to start IMO. Feed quality...what to feed...boy, that's a veritable Pandora's Box. IMO,No matter what one feeds, it will be essential that the birds either get animal protein whether through feed, grazing (free...

As for the Barreds, the wings and the tail seem to be the nemesis of this variety. Not so for the whites or buffs...somewhat enigmatic...got to be tied to the slow feathering and/or barring gene?
