Gorgeous Silver Laced.

thanks. i'm not a big fan of the silve laced, and am contemplating selling the pair. yes they're pretty, but.. well, just but. i might try hatching some chicks to see what we get, but i really prefer solid color cochins, with the exception of the mille fleur project. and i only have 1 roo right now, with a mottled in the grow out pen to go with him unless something else shows up. so i think my primary colors will be white, blue/black/splash, and black/self blue, and maybe some buff or red down the road.

I got home about 5 minutes ago. Over 400 miles with the last 50 in a driving rain.
A Mottled hen was Best Variety, Best of Breed and Best Featherleg. Matt McCammon had Best of Variety and reserve Breed with a Black Cock bird. Shari had Reserve Black with a pullet. She also had Best hen. I had the Best Black Cockerel, 2nd best Black Cock bird and Black Hen. I didn't have any competition in Birchen, Columbian, Partridge so I got BV in those.

Did you enjoy the show? Wish I could have met you. I had a great time considering all the rain.

Congratulations!
I am glad you got home ok, Sorry to hear about the rain .

I did have a lot of fun! Your Birchen and Columbian were drool worthy! I some how missed the Partridge

I think it was the excitement of all the birds, I was like a kid in a candy store. Pictures just do not do your birds justice, you have done a great job with them. I brought my mother who thinks I am crazy about chickens and I believe that I have her hooked now as well.
I wish we could have met too, that would have been Awesome

Glad you made it home safely. I've been worried about everyone in the midwest - I hope everyone is safe.

Congrats on your wins, Craig! And to Shari, Matt and everyone else as well!

I forgot to mention there were 60 Bantams in the open show and 5 Large fowl by 10 exhibitors. If Linda had been able to make it with the birds she had entered we would have had almost 75 Bantams. I did not get a count on the Jr. birds but can say that the quality of them was very good.. There is the CI Western National show next weekend in Sedalia Missouri. I am sure we will see some very good birds there.

She is so pretty! I have a hen that looks very similar, what would you breed her with to keep those colors, a white rooster?

 

[DANNY]

This is the male that is with her. What color would you call the hen above..

Oh My!

They remind me of Salmon Faverolles.
