    Approaching one year old. Showing in 4H local show. Is he on the right track?

    Haha well he is beautiful! This is the hen I have for Karen. I don't think she's a very good specimen but she is hilarious to look at. Her name is Brenda and she is certainly special lol

    Awesome, thank you. At the county fair I'm not sure they'd even consider it unless it was a close call for Best of Show. Most of the time it's like 'is your chicken parasite infested, covered in mud, squirrel tail, bald spots or has a crest when it shouldn't?" if no, you get a blue ribbon lol...

    Wow those are very different from him! He doesn't have the brown on his hackles at all. But it looks like he is maybe decently there on some aspects, so I might try to find a really nice hen and breed him. He was born in July so might mature a bit, but his colors are definitely more muddy and...

    Thank you! Does my rooster have 5 or 6? Not sure if I count the little mini ones in front and back hehe

    Wow that's a stunning bird! Maybe Karen will mature to look more like that haha, he was born in July....I know the chances are slim but we can dream ;) Yours is so gorgeous. Such clean and uniform color! Did you get yours from a small breeder? Karen is from a hatchery so I know not the best but...

    Is it bad if I don't know what points are? :confused: Is it on the comb?

    Thank you so much! I'm glad he has his toes going for him! I really appreciate your help and pointing me in the direction of FeatherSite. Like I said, he is my 4H project and going to a county fair, nothing fancy. I know he's not a world champion bird but I wanted to make sure he wasn't going to...

    Thanks for the response. Yes, I'm not sure what he should look like colorwise for the uniformity. My SOP is black and white so I'm wondering if anyone has any pictures of their good show flock to go by. I'm hoping his feet feathering will grow with time, he was getting bullied by a silkie (lol)...

    Yes, they are a super interesting breed. Super friendly and have done excellent with cold weather. Unfortunately, while I have the Standard of Perfection book, I can't find a lot of pictures online of what they should actually look like. So Karen is beautiful in my eyes because I have no ruler...

    Your message cracked me up lol. He is indeed. IDK what his coloring looks like compared to ideal, but he is an absolute UNIT and is hilarious to look at but also super majestic in a dork way!!

    Awe, thank you! I need to get pics of the hen I have for him...I'm thinking I will breed them but mostly just for fun. :) I'm not sure if they are really either Standard of Perfection-close, but I enjoy them as my 4H project. They are the most docile birds we've ever had, even more than Brahmas...

    Hi all, Meet Karen. Karen is glorious and the best rooster I've ever had personality wise. I got him last July. I'm just curious on if he is breeding/show quality--not that it matters really, I'm still going to keep and show him :) I just don't know much about SF genetics and would like your...

    Cackle or McMurray?

    I definitely notice the inconsistency. I always order 3 of each sex from them, and there is a lot in variance in quality. Thanks SO much for sharing your experience.
