This is so true. I had an apprentice recently flunk their APA test ....mostly because they knew more than me and didn't listen. This is a person I have known for many years and is a friend..I think this was a good thing...a great learning experience. If you know it all why are you asking...

This is the best way to learn birds. Do you plan to be an apprentice? Funny story....I had this guy on facebook critiquing a bird I posted. He posted some kind of strange remarks about the bird and mentioned he was in the ABA judging program. So....I told him that I will be giving him his...

Erik is the only one I don't know well. .All good guys.

The disadvantage with your breeds is that some judges don't look at them with class champion in mind and it is a risk if they don't know them well....so they will go with something they know. Not knocking judges, but this is human nature. Yeah, I have been to those learning sessions. They are...

Not the other Dragon Lady.....THE Dragon Lady...........hahahaha I can't wait until you two meet. She is going to the APA National in Springfield Mass. Suzann is about half your height. w.

no,that is Suzann Chungs ad. w

I will be at the Springfield Mass APA National, but I have a conflict with the OH date. I have been so busy arguing with people on byc that I haven't had a chance to tell you what a good job you have done with the Ancona's and Dorkings. Those are both breeds I have had (s/c Ancona and SG...

Are these the Catalana's from Bridget? They looked like they weighed more than 7 lbs when I saw some of hers, but I didn't handle them. Wide feathers make the look of the bird if they are appropriate to the breed. Walt

I think any chick raised by a broody will have a health advantage over a brooded chick and will tend to be superior in other ways too. w

how often have you seen a judge sniff a chicken.?

Art Manley had great LF Partridge Cochins back in the day. I had some of his birds in the 70's. Walt

They are from Kathy's stuff.....I have no idea what the background might be, but I don't think they have Franks breeding in them. These look different.. w.

You will see two, but it may not be the same two. Walt

They are not going anywhere outside cali and NV. I believe there will better males. Lual hatched eggs from these and I think she is going to have at least one outstanding female.

these are good, but they are not breathtaking yet. They are not ready to take on Volks white Rocks Bob...lol

forget about age if they look mature. These will be better in a couple of months. W

yes,I have been seeing them with low tails lately. ..more like Rocks. W

The orange birds did well. Brought two 7 mo New Hamps and the male was best American, female res American. 1100 bird show. It was not what I consider a strong class, but again these birds are only 7 months old and the judges loved them. neither one of them will be the top New Hamps here when the...

I do the feet last. As I am washing the bird the dirt under the scales is loosening up. Seems easier to me . the trick to keeping white birds easy to clean up is to keep them clean from the time they feather out until they molt. White birds win more than any other color, but they have to be...

Great job with the White Dorkings w
