Going off the sickles would mean that you could have a longer back then which could be a fault on type correct? If using the pic that JoshU posted the starting point for zero degree to get a 40 degree or 30 degrees then the back would have to be longer that what may be expected for the line to...
I think at times some of the photos that have been shown on social media of birds having what would be considered low wing carriage,may result in heat issues. It seems that at times when these where being shown by others that it was during the summer months and the birds were not holding their...
Not to change topic but.... I have had some discussion in another type of social media on this subject and well let's just say it did ruffle some feathers and there are people who think what I'm saying is wrong. Open for discussion
Ok this question my ruffle some feathers. Oh well...
My first thought would be the recessive gene, but then again it could be also the way they are raised to a certain degree. If not handled as they grow then possibily they could end up being on the mean side. Would like to hear what Walt and Joe have to say on this subject.
Showing any animal can be fun with the right group of support but if you don't have that in your area then that person will end up getting a foul taste and will never do it again. As for the types of shows to part take in. My opinion is to stay small to mid size for a long time to learn as much...
WOW, This thread really went wild since I was last one. Sorry been busy with work and now fighting some sort of bug that has had me down for the count for a week now.
I spent last night reading thru the 400 plus comments and all I can say is WOW, I will not argue with some of the...

Why does it seem that there are some that don't post in here but other than to stir the pot?!?!?!?!? I find it very rude and feel that it is trolling a bit. Maybe a refreasher of the rules is in hand... But again I'm not a Mod so I will leave that for them to do as that is their duties...
Well, first off I don't show birds and never will, that was not the reason I got into poultry and as for how long I have had chickens does not matter. I have never liked shows for many reasons. I gave my opinion based on a comment that was about a judes view. Yes, I know that they travel...
How's everyones readiness coming for winter. We had snow falling here today!!!!! Did not stick on the ground but up north of me they got 7 inches!!!! Gotta get more tarps on the pen area to help with wind and start looking at winter water holders.
What does everyone else use for...
Congrats to the winners of recent shows. Sorry have not been on here recently, have been very busy with life,work and building a new dance studio for my daughters dance company that she attends.
I spoke to a few that attended the recent show in Indiana and heard that the judges who...
Chris do you believe that maybe just bathing their legs and not the feathers would be better and still have the calming affect? Not sure I never tired to bath a bird so I don't have any experience on it. But I can see and agree on what you are saying regarding birds that are free ranged and...
