this is a very good page with judges comments for those looking to show..its not easy for exhibitors to have their birds at peak come showtime..sometimes a hatch doesnt go well , or any number of things can happen ..its so interesting to read the judges comments on each class..

That is a great name!

They do stop honking and start clucking when they get older.

Enjoying all the pics in this thread. We've only had our chickens for about a year. Started with these when they were pullets. Two were black hens, I had no breed name for them. Since then, we've incubated a couple sets of eggs. I was wondering if the chicks looked the way they did because they were mixed with a white Roo (Leghorn I think) but there all pics of your chicks here that are the same as mine!!!!!!!! I can't believe it!!!

So one I had named "Penguin" because of the white around the neck and down the belly. Then with the next batch, I got another 'penguin'

Then there was also this one that was all black, so I named him "Bear" like black bear (I know weird name for a chick) but he was so big as well. Bear turned into something a bit different at a few weeks of age, now with white flecks evenly going throughout his whole body of black, which I've seen in a few of these pics. Love it!

And Bear loves to be with the youngest chicks, the batch after him/her. There was a divider wall going half-way to divide our two lots in our 'nursery' and one day he jumped the fence, and would never stay on his own side afterward, snuggling with the other chicks.

Well so glad I have a name for my Australorps. One does a have a green sheen in some of her feathers, made me think it was going to be a roo when she was younger, but no, def a hen!!!

Love them all the same. I was so happy that we got some little black "Penguins" LOL
