Hi Aspen, if you are very serious about Self Blue (Lav) you will want to get some from Tom, he has the best.

I agree with fattie. Tom's birds are the best. Unfortunately he does not sell any. He is not done from a breeding standpoint to let any out into the public yet. I did see some nice f2 or f3 self blues at the show. Two men from Georgia had some that are starting to look OK. The best I have seen for sale so far. One of them is named Danny.

Craig, was it Danny Ledford? He's a BYC member - "DANNY".

Mr. Ree :

Did anyone catch who got the best and reserve frizzle Cochins? And did anyone get pics of any other variety than Mottled and Black? Those birds were amazing!

Matt posted names of all winners on the CI page late yesterday.​

Yes I think it was.

I was sitting here thinking how good it was you did not take any pictures of the only Mille Cochin entered at the show. It was definitely not a shining example. Goes to prove that you can enter anything at a show.

Craig - do you know who had the Butterscotch? I've never heard of them before - very interesting color!

I think Richard Andree of Minnesota was the exhibitor of the butterscotch cochins.

Are we talking about the Butterscotch in the sale area or were there some in the show? I tell you there was so many birds there I am sure I missed a lot. I was chicken drunk for 2 days.

Looks to me that they wanted to lighten up the foot area so they took a big round photoshop brush and hit color dodge. You can see the circle outline of lighter color...

Actually, it's the opposite. The lighting was off and I was trying to darken the shavings area after I lightened the shadows to make the bird stand out more.
These are NOT my birds anyway! I volunteered to help take pictures. The captions clearly state whose birds they are.

They were talking about the ones in the show. We also were talking about the Self Blues you had there.

You're right. Taking their pictures in the cages was hard because of low light. There were faces peering through from behind, poo all over, loose feathers, etc. I was just trying to clean it up a little.

And, no, I did not steal anyone's pics. They came from my camera. You can ask Linda Tobin.
