    Which of my silver laces are most showable. Please judge

    Its really funny that you should mention Jerry Foley because the bird pics in my post are of a bantam I got off of him. His birds are absolutely stunning. If I knew how to get them to look like his I would tell you. Sadly I don't. But definatly good luck with trying to get that lovely round shape.

    Breed Identifying

    I'm not sure if she would pass the trait on or not. I don't know if that's a gene that works like that. Hens can still lay at a year and a half old I believe. Mine started laying at a little less than a year old as I recall.

    Are these Wyandotte pullets?

    It is okay to have Wyandottes with Rose combs or single combs

    Breed Identifying

    Hens can have spurs and I know that some breeds of chickens like the Polish and the Silkie all have spurs. However black sex links should not have hens with spurs and your 2nd and 3rd birds do very much look like sex links. So I'm thinking maybe #2 is a rooster? Either that or she is just an...

    Hatching a Chick in a Cup: Can You Do it and How?

    Hatching a Chick in a Cup: Can you do it and how? Some time ago a group of Japanese high school student’s video went viral. The video showed them cracking chicken eggs into cups and then popping out fully developed chicks. The sensationalism of the video made it a hit but showed nothing of the...

    Which of my silver laces are most showable. Please judge

    I've shown quite a few Silver Laced Wyandottes over the years. The biggest thing I always look for in a bird first is the body shape. My ideal bird fits in a circle. I attached these pictures of my black Wyandotte bantam. I don't know if you can quite see but she fits in a circle really well...

    POULTRY SHOW!

    Do some research and look at the pictures of the birds. There is no way to tell which is the "biggest/best." If you make yourself an informed consumer though you will be able to pick the best stock. Look at the Standards for the breeds you are interested in and familiarize yourself with what a...

    Dorking?

    Yeah I would definately say she looks like a Dorking. And personally I think she looks rather feminine but that is based on no scientific evidence ;) And by the way that pic of her as a chick is utterly adorable. It looks like she was smiling for the camera.

    You can absolutely come with a hatchery bird! I've had some other people ask this question; you do not need any "pedigree" papers to show a chicken you can literally show up with any old red colored bird and dump it in with the other Rhode Island Reds. It won't do well but you can do it. As far...

    @duluthralphie You absolutely can pluck a bad primary, there is never anything wrong with plucking feathers (other than it might hurt a little for your poor bird) However you need to weigh the values of having a discolored feather versus having no primary feather at all. Judges don't look too...
