here are a few of mine.








 
Championsumatra: do you ever get any sumatras that have beaks that are too short and tails that are too low for show quality sumatras?

no I don't. the sumatra breeders and poultry judges say to me that they really like the way I breed my sumatras.

In any case, I really admire those of you who choose to keep and breed these...not sure I could do that. Doesn't your entire set-up have to be "different" than what it would be with non-ornamental chicken breeds? How do you keep their tails nice and long and pretty? I would imagine they'd drag the ground from time to time, yes? Does that break off their feathers? I guess that part can't really be prevented? They sure are pretty. =] The tail on charcoal and white one reminds me of a cheerleader's pom-pon!
