Thank you for your posts. I have got many personnel messages and learned of Eric Nelson in Maine who I forgot about. Does anyone have his line or have seen his Barred Rocks at shows?
In regards to Larry Urban. He normally buys the top lines when he goes to the Ohio National and brings them back to Washington.
So they should be a good gene pool of birds.
A side note story about Larry Urban goes back to when I was about seven years old. I went to St Mary's Catholic Grade School in Centralia Washington and one day my mother was walking me to the bus stop to go to school which was about a mile from our house. Larry lived behind a old grocery store on the way and there was some White Wyandotte Large Fowl in some pens next to the building. I walked over to these birds and said to my mother these are the prettiest chickens I ever saw. She said you don't want those chickens they are Show Chickens. They wont lay any eggs.
I said to my mother they are still beautiful and there is just something about them I like.
About five years latter I met Larry at the South West Washington Fair. I got into Standard Breed Chickens with Light Brahmas, Then Rhode Island Reds and White Rocks.
One thing about Larry he knows chickens as he has had them all his life and he can spot a good one. Thanks for the message and bring back some good memories.
