I have a pretty strong arm but I am not sure I could throw that far... but they would have a snowy landing right???

Sigh....yes, we have over a foot on the ground right now.

Is it the picture, but it looks like he has 2 rows of points on the comb. Maybe I'm seeing things?
I agree with Geebs critiques. You take gorgeous pictures though!

 

[seabreeze]

No, he doesn't have two rows of points. I will try and get better photos if the dang sun ever comes out cuz I want to get some of the hens as well. The next several days I won't be doing much chicken stuff at all with the 4 day dog shows coming up.

I'm a photo-holic and love taking pics, my Facebook page is loaded with albums.

Seabreeze, I have at least 5 - 3 month old roos that I am going to pick one or two from when I get a better idea of how they are going to turn out, already have a 5 month old I plan to keep if I can find a good type hen to match with him or he may go if one of the youngsters looks more promising (pics of him in an earlier post). If you are interested, I can let you know when the time comes and maybe one would be a good match for your hens. Also, I might be interested in a trade for a young hen if you have one you want to part with and that will compliment my roos (anyone else here as well!). So far I am not excited about how my hens are maturing......... We live about 30 min. from eachother!

 

[seabreeze]

Thanks Zanna! Do you have more pics of your roos' posted somewhere or can you send to me?

YAY...the fog has finally lifted so my trusty camera and I will head out to snap a bunch of pics. I will probably post them on my Facebook cuz its takes just too much time to offload, label, store more than once LOL.

I got my hens from a breeder in Corvallis named Andy who said they were from Ron Pressley/Buddy Henry/Cottage Hill lines.

Seabreeze, I can send you pics, it will have to wait until this weekend......... They are Bev Davis lines so that should be good for you also! I won't decide on my keepers though for probably two more months but I can still send you current pics if you like.

 

[seabreeze]

Thanks! I'll be up to my neck in gators (aka show dogs) this weekend anyway, 4 day show in Albany ending Monday, then Tuesday to Wilsonville to U/s my champion girl (since the board won't let me use the B word LOL) to see if we have a pending litter! So don't worry too much about expediency ROFL.....next week is great after Tuesday.

seabreeze, what breed do you show?
