Hi Bill - not to worry over the Malay bantams... I opted to pass them along to a poultry judge acquaintence with more room (well, ANYBODY would have more room than I have at this point).... Anyway, he raised quite a raft of them, and we should be seeing a couple here and there at the shows...

Melody - I'm thinking about it, although they are all still pretty young. Might have a Dominique pullet or two old enough to try. Do you have need of any cockerels? I'll have 4-5 spares I could bring for you and/or others. Sam

NYReds - I guess I'll ask you the same question that the late Alex Duffy asked me after I rattled off a list of seven breeds & varieties: What will you call your string? I'm in your same boat, without an oar or rudder.... Buff Leghorn Bantams BBR Cubalaya LF Dominique LF (several courtesy...

I'm not sure - I think I saw that same fellow in the Serama tent at the end of the day when I was judging them, but I didn't know who he was.

Actually, it's kind of fun to pick up a thread and follow it... And Silkies are a good thing.... I had Plain (Non-Bearded) Whites when I was young, and in fact my older brother Joe showed Plain White Silkies at the Madison Square Garden show in 1948 and 1949. Enjoy the evening,

Hi Roberta - (and this is a bit Twilight Zone-ish since my late sister-in-law was named Roberta...and wait, it gets better...) Yes, I imagine that the Joe Brush you mention is indeed family. My dad's name was Joseph M. Brush, and my oldest brother (now deceased) was Joseph M. Brush II (my dad...

Well, considering that the BYC forums and search functions are a bit like slogging through molasses, my Long Island forum denizen caught me browsing pretty quick! Yes, I often get encouraged to plow through the BYC forums to keep up on the latest scuttlebutt and pull folks (like WALT!) back into...

That would be a YES, the Standard of Perfection material is copyrighted and subject to the use guidelines as found in the Fair Use Doctrine and elsewhere. I'm sorry Gomes Bantams, but what you are offering to everyone (multiple Standard of Perfection descriptions for any and all of the breeds...

Walt has correctly provided the basic structure for reproduction/use of the materials from the American Standard of Perfection. Specific to the Black Copper Marans description posted at the beginning of this thread, at the time they were still somewhat "in the pipeline" and that newness...

Arielle - Another good source of Narragansetts would be Duane Urch (Urch/Turnlund Poultry) in Minnesota. Duane has racked up quite a few points with his Narragansetts. I don't recall if he does poults, eggs or both, but there have been some postings of his offerings. He carries a myriad of...

American Standard of Perfection - Some Answers to Questions Someone pointed me to this thread and suggested it would be good to "answer" a couple of the SOP questions and clarify some of the "poultry myths" that are emerging about the Standard. First, the basics - the 2010 American Standard of...

Quote: Hey Peter - Would those lav fav eggs still be $99 if I order them as Self Blue? Sam

I have a couple Cubalaya hens that will likely be making a showroom appearance, but the males are just very challenging. Seems like when they finally molt in that last main tail feather they start dropping some others and the whole process kicks in again. I'm still looking for that special...

I've got a few "shrimptails".....

Hey Bob - Shoot, don't we avoid having shows in November because of conflicts with deer season and some holiday associated with turkeys? Maybe we can squeeze a show in for November 2011 on that third weekend.... Cereally, Lone Star poultry aficionados, the Abilene show is usually that last...

Well, it really is ONE LETTER BETTER (the 'r') than another famous political figure who is also from Texas.... Jim - the poultry show marshals are watching you bud, so behave! Sam Brush

Maybe she is just trying to mimic a ptarmigan! How cool would it be if Delawares and other chickens dove under the snow! Sam

Quote: It doesn't usually happen by accident, but there are things I can show you that help a little. Are you showing at Stockton? Walt Walt - be sure to tell them about the banana oil and jojoba extract mixture .... Sam

Quote: The Committee is working on it, but I will not know the results until the Shawnee show 12/11. The last APA newsletter indicated that there was a lot of interest in it and that several people would like to add their input. Walt The Heritage Poultry Committee of the APA (currently...

Because of some scheduling difficulties with our "usual" show facilities, the "Texas National" hosted by the Texas Association of Exhibition Poultry Clubs (TAEPC) was held in conjunction with the Tri-State Fair in Amarillo this year - back on September 11-12. There is no November TAEPC show...
