I just wanted to say that I like coming to this thread, I only have hatchery birds Its all I can afford, I know that all of my girls need improvement and I really would like to improve my flock, but without knowing the basics I wouldn't have a clue as to what to look for, Snowbird has been very helpful in that for me as well as some of the others, I'm not one of the popular kids in the class , and don't really care. Yes I know that the pictures are just a moment in time with these birds but for me it is just a tool to use, Say for instance the picture with the showbird and the light brown primaries, even if that were a trick of the light , now If I find that on one of mine I know it would be wrong and I would try and get rid of it out of my flock, the proper tail, comb, shape I'm learning all of that on this thread as well as other sorces. And I know if I have a ? then snowbird or one of the others will answer me and that means alot. When you were on the thread I really enjoyed talking to you, you were always very nice. I am sorry you had such a bad experience here. I had no Idea. If I was rude to you I do apologize. But like I said Hatchery birds is all I have to work with, so work with them I will, plus for some crazy reason It gives me personal pleasure to build up my girls to something fantastic! LOL . I only have one SS hen from a breeder and apparently she is the worst of the bunch but until I came to this thread I thought she was Gods gift to me the most beautiful bird in the world in fact the one that made me want to raise them (SS).
I was kinda upset over what NYREDS said when he came on, and posted, but it did occur to me that He didn't understand what we were using the photo for, I thought snowbird was totally right in the way he handled it. Short and to the point. If you have good information share , I know I'm willing to listen to anyone that is willing to instruct me in what I need to look for and to shun away from if it is someone that I can respect that I think knows what their talking about, and I feel comfortable listening to snowbird and taking his advice, (others not so much) but thats ok too. I'm getting what I need from the thread for me and my flock.
I know that just recently I posted that I didn't like a particular bird in a photo but in another photo I thought she looked nice? So photos are just that Photos and for me Just a learning tool. I'm sorry your experience was bad, I wish it had have turned out better for you, Sandy
