I was planning on it Infnityhrt. I will probably enter last minute if I do. Are you going to that one, or the new show this year at the end of November?

I think a lot of people are thankful that you post pictures. It always helps when discussing topics. So thank you for sharing. Yeah maybe the picture doesn't show the ridges very well. As for me even if the male's comb does have a way higher middle ridge, he still has three prominent ridges (at...

I think its dead right now because its getting to the busy time of year. The show season approaches! In all honestly, the combs pictured are not really a good representation of an ideal pea comb. Though I think there is definitely potential using that male. Obviously there is room for...

ah thank you Zach. I planned on using one splash cockerel this fall but he attacked my four year old at just 6 months old. He didn't get to see another day. So maybe next year I will keep another one and give it a try. I have been pairing up my blues all sorts of ways and then I find myself...

Oh that sounds great Zach. Hope you do get to show her. Let us know how you do. You sound like you are doing a great job with them, and improvement is a good sign you are on the right track. I have heard the best pairings for blues come from a splash to black pairing, but honestly I don't think...

Thank you Ramirezframing. Maybe they will be on later, and will show off some more pictures for us. Can never have enough pictures. Zach, what do you think of your little pullet? How is her type looking? Looks like you are off to a great start with your blues.

I know this is off subject but I went to my parent's house yesterday and my mom showed me some old pictures she found. Here is and old picture from the early 90's of some of my bantam sumatras. The white one is the only picture I have of my white sumatras. I later did have solid white birds but...

Ralibi, that picture of the black is the current one for now. You should definitely get the standard. You cant go wrong with buying one. Its money well spent.

Okay I hope this is alright with everyone, let me know if not so I can delete it. I did this really quick, and probably could do better. I took the males that are posted and obviously traced their outline. I tried to scale them but keep in mind its not entirely accurate. The top left is traced...

No way! Your birds are not ugly, just rough condition which is normal right now. Nobody has the perfect bird! We are all working on something or many things at once. I was showing and example that mine are still on the long and narrow side. Especially the blues I have. If I find a picture of a...

Beaks are not ideal on mine. Here is a picture of that cockerel I posted before( I cropped it to post the head only). If I was to look at his beak, I would say it also needs to be shorter, at least in appearance. Obviously his comb is not a pea comb and that is where my eyes go to (I cant...

Haha Coop they all look so thrilled to have their picture taken! Like they each got little mug shots. So obviously trying to look at bird from a picture is no where near the real deal I bet. Asking a judge at a show would be the most ideal. However, below is the pictures from the standard again...

I think that is a great idea.

Well I liked Infnityhrt's idea indeed. It actually helps a lot better when you can talk in person though. We use to do that kind of thing with sheep and goats at meetings. Obviously getting a nice posed picture of a goat and or sheep are easier than a chicken. I am guessing the pictures do not...

Zach, I am not sure, I might have missed them if they were on the other thread.

I think there are people that would enjoy a discussion like that Infnityhrt. I thought about doing something similar at one point but wasn't sure how to keep it sane, other than to use birds that have been culled.

Yes the blue LF ones are drawn by Katherine Plumer are the newest ones in the standard. I think one of the black LF picture was posted in the other thread. If I can I will try and load the pictures unless someone beats me to it.

too funny! Whoa wait a second! You have to show soon! My birds are not at all where I feel they should be either but my husband has talked me into taking some birds this fall. Hopefully Infnityhrt and FMP won't kill my birds too bad at the show. I do think, and this is my opinion the hens...

I don't know about a short cut for hiding faults, because if the bird is shown in a competitive show next to quality birds, it will have a hard time. As far as using it in a breeding program, well hopefully one wouldn't have to use that bird. Although I don't think you are wrong to think that at...
