    I've got the Iowa Blues!

    It's not too bad, luckily I dont have to worry about sub zero temps like I did when we lived in Wisconsin. I much prefer mild winters when it comes to outside chores. :lol:

    Ethics in Showing

    Well, feel free to have your opinion. Just don't act like its a sin for others to show birds that are not their own tried and true product from start to finish. I've seen more than a few ads for live birds listed with the seller full well pushing their birds for shows. NOT as breeding stock. If...

    Yes, chicken fever is very contageous and there is no cure. Too bad about the city limit you have, but it might be saving you from yourself. lol! I started out showing one or two cochin chickens at a time each summer in 4H from an apartment in the city with nothing but a tiny patch of grass...

    *Buff Orpington Thread!*

    Just tell hubby you "bought 6 birds, but the other five must have escaped somewhere in transit!" Be sure to bat your eyelashes and give the innocent puppy dog eyes too!

    d'anver lovers,discuss the breed and post some pics!

    I could be very wrong, so take my reply with a grain of salt and wait for someone with much more experience than I have. I have only just started in lavenders myself, but unlike you I have no lavender roosters. I am using black roosters on lavender hens. The sex flip may alter the color outcome...

    I have to talk POLISH!

    I'd agree. The tail looks pretty boyish too.

    Old and Rare Breeds

    I can hypothetically see that for some show lines, but for backyards I wouldnt worry with something like that. Or perhaps I would agree with it for White Faced Black Spanish, or perhaps even Redcaps or Buttercups. Breeds with very slow maturing attributes. Genetic anomalies would show up well...

    Sorry about the two you lost, and while the accident itself is not funny, the "wizard of oozed" phrase made me laugh.
