I agree with NYREDS. Just go to a few and enjoy the show, look at the different birds, meet people and make connections. I think it is up to you to decide which breeds you are interested in and why. Working with a breed you love will make the whole experience more fun and interesting. So of the...
I do not show my birds but I do try to breed as close to the standard as possible so I can't say for sure but I am going to guess that it may cause a problem. I do not know whether he would be DQ but I am sure you would lose points for it. Hopefully someone will come along with a better answer...
I think they look nice but I also think they are to young to be making that decision. I do not breed them so I do not know the requirements for them but I would suggest unless they have a noticeable defect or disqualification for the breed I would hang onto them until they are closer to 8 months...
I have a few Red sex link female chicks FREE in Memphis TN. PICK UP ONLY. These were some extras in an order I received May 16. Must take all 3. I may have a Silver Spangled Hamburg or 2 that you can have as well. PM for pick up times.

Yep, I'd be moving, I couldnt stand that, or let's say, they couldnt stand me ; They'd just have to get used to the chickens peafowl and turkeys.
I am going to shoot for starting to look next year. My new financial adviser worked out a plan to have me debt free by the end of the year...

Yeah! That is great and here's to 19 more
Thanks,
got a feeling there's going to be a lot of culling this year with all the color projects going, but it's fun.
I am sure it is, you are very lucky to have a place to do it. It is very frustrating not being able to peruse your interests...
Oh Cynthia I am sorry, I hope he is better soon. Congrats on the new coop. Unfortunately now that I have new neighbors that HATE my chickens so we are a strict 1 rooster household. My flock of Blue Wheaten Amers. are now living with a good friend about an hour outside of the city, they are...
