I didn't know my wife had posted a picture of our SLW hen on here until I was reading the Heritage thread and saw her on here...

Anyway Champ American at Lucasville, Oh was a really nice White Rock owned by Doug Akers.......his white rocks are hard to handle.....a Seb Goose won Super Grand Champion of the Show, I think reserve was a awesome Rosecomb owned by the Bennetts..

Winning BB in LF Wyandottes just goes to prove that even a donkey can win the Kentucky Derby sometimes..

, thanks for the compliment on her, we work hard on them and grew out a crazy number of SLW large fowl this year. I have always heard you need to really grow out a bunch at least every 3 years to make a jump in improvement...but I think I will only grow out 50 next year...it was just too much work and the feed bill was insane.

White rocks are hard to beat, but you have some awesome SLW's. Your day will come and it will probably be soon if you show more this season. It is VERY hard to keep a Sebastopol in shape. Mine are showable for about 2 weeks before they step on and break all the side hanging feathers. Are you a car guy? (Turbo)

Thanks for the Lucasville info. Can't wait to see pics in PP.

May I have the leniency to place all of this into the proper perspective?

The American Poultry Association, the ALBC, even BYC is all here so that the next generation will be able to enjoy what we take advantage of: Heritage, pure bred, backyard poultry. Here is some examples of the Master Breeder of tomorrow:

This one stole his grandmother's cage from a swap to get his birds home:

Those are some outstanding pictures JFS

I'm hoping my kids will carry things on down the road, though thats a long ways away. They've already grown to love our flock

This morning, I went and got memberships to the APA and ALBC.

If the rain ever stops here I'll try to get a couple pictures.

Rain? You have rain? What does it look like? Please describe it!

No measurable rain in over a month in south Arkansas. Very dry!

Thanks!

My APA ETL membership cost $100 in 1991. A great savings for me! Nearly 20 years and I have saved over $100 in annual membership fees!

We are also a member of the ALBC.

I wish I could, but I just can't justify driving 4+ hours.

Some of us are driving from Arkansas...about 6+ hours!

we are driving from KY.... 11 1/2 hours if we don't stop to pee

I'm not judging at Shawnee, so I should be able to check out your nice Wyandotte's.

The only time we stop is to get gas and make the pit stops..usually all at the same time. Shawnee is too far to drive, so I'm flying in Thursday.
