Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!

they are much brighter in the sunlight. The showroom lighting just kills the color. They are as wild as a March hare when free ranging, so I thought I would have to do a lot of show coop training, but that only took less than a minute. I have gotten to really enjoy these birds. One of the things I really like about them is that none of them have flat front ends. Many large fowl have flat lower chests, but none of these do and again it was a random selection.

They are very pretty in the sun.

The young show groupies really like Al, so he can't be all that bad.

Beatuful they remind me of a beautiful fall colors.

Is there a website that lists poultry shows and what area that they are being held? I would love to go to one just to see the birds & learn

I think the eastern poultry shows are pretty much over, but I know they have a show in Syracuse and Hamburg, but I don't know where else in NY. This newspaper has all the shows and other show info.. http://www.poultrypress.com/contents.html

If you have never been to good show and keep decent birds going to a show and spending the day is a must. you learn about 5 yrs worth knowledge just by visiting with the exhibitors, we love talking about our birds. Not to mention getting to see the finest examples of any breed in the flesh, go..... you won't regret it.
