    Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

    Hi, No, My little booklet, "Judging Exhibition Poultry", is specifically for judging of poultry (gallus gallus) and also has sections on judging waterfowl and eggs, and stewarding for the judge. It basically covers judging techniques and is an ideal text for current poultry judges...

    Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

    In 2011 I wrote a booklet called “Guidelines for Poultry Judges & Stewards” and it was distributed to every club secretary throughout Queensland. It was offered initially for sale to poultry clubs, judges, potential judges and stewards and it was so well received, by my fellow judges, that...

    Bantam Australorp?

    G'day and Thanks, he is a handsome little fellow. He won a very large show for us at Sydney Royal a few years ago and I have chickens on the ground by him now for the 2014 show season. We keep large and bantams and they are both great layers. We've had them for many decades.

    Those are all pullets, and we call that big red hanging area below the beak the Wattle. I've seen many say "waddle" and a duck waddles.

    CSU - Chicken State University- Large Fowl SOP

    G’day and thanks for the kind words about my papers on the Campine. The main advice that I can give anyone on Campines is to read your standards, identify your faults and try to improve them. The next advice is try to stick to a good line. I appreciate it is difficult to source these fowls, as...

    G'day Geoff, Great pictures Geoff. I'm happy that you have now taken on Brian Newell's line as they will give you a real improvement in your stock and will given you a real competitive edge in the shows. A few years ago Denis Dowdle judged the 1st Victorian Australorp Titles and he placed...

    Campine Chicken thread?

    G'day, This is the post #295 in the Campine Section where I added the link to my paper called "The Charm of the Campine". In there I mainly cover my involvement, the Australian Standards (which is basically similar to the British Standards and very similar to the American Standards) some...

    Campine Chicken thread?

    G'day Fred, I once posted a link to a paper, in this forum, that I wrote on Campines and as far as I am aware only one or two people looked at it. I've only been breeding them since the 1950's, so maybe I am too inexperienced, or perhaps it's the fact that I am not in the USA. Kind regards...

    Australorps breed Thread

    G'day, The ideal Australorp has Black eyes, but can have Dark Brown eyes. They are bold and round. If you breed using a light eyed, light brown eyed, yellow eyed or red eyed Australorp, particularly a male, then you are breeding impurities into the breed. If you just have them as egg layers it...

    G'day, Here's that Large Black Cockerel that I mentioned that I have joined to two lovely pullets. He won at his first and only show (over several other Blacks) last weekend, and although he is still not quite out in the tail, he is balanced in my eyes and holds that good Australorp type and...

    G'day Kurt, These fowls are getting closer to a type that I like better than most I've seen on the net from the USA. Chet's are quite good too. I saw an exceptional one on another site that had good type. I'll try to find a picture for your guys. Regards, Ross

    G'day, We grind our excess egg shells up into with a food grinder that you can use for cracking corn, wheat and peanuts. And you are right track by making sure that they are very tiny ground, but not powdery pieces. We then add them to a mixture of fine oyster shell grit and diatomaceous earth...
