The only competition I am in in this world is with myself. my right hand says I cant and my left hand says watch me.
Sure a medal or a trophy would be nice but the way I see it the winning circle is like my ex girlfriend. you flaunt her and show her off and sooner or later it gets old and sits...

And the vast majority of those who breed for SQ, breed for heritage qualities too, fwiw. The last thing I'd want is some hothouse flower Buckeye. All my birds that I show are bred to the Standard, and to retain the qualities that have made them such wonderful birds for the small...

A few things I think of come to mind when I see this picture. Mites will draw out the Life in a Bird adding Several negative factors. One being Stress and two Being vitamin deficiancy. The mites will suck every last good bit of energy the Buckeye has Which will in return Lower his...
