Just a couple more hours to get entries in. Since there are not more then 10 entries for any category, everyone will be entered in the polls for everyone to judge. I've decided to also judge them myself and offer a prize to whoever has the entry that I think is the best of the show. The prize will be 6+ eggs-winner's choice of Cream Legbar or Swedish Flower. I'm sorting through the entries now, it will probably take a day or so to get everything sorted out, I will let this thread and the cream legbar thread know when the judging is open.

Y'know, as I see how gorgeous this colorful rooster IS, I am leaning toward the USA...going for more color (than the UK) in the SOP when/if we eventually get there. :O)

Thanks

. I like him a lot too. He's also huge, maybe 30% bigger then my other roo.

Sorry I choose small, click to see. She's entered for 8, 5. Really didn't get crest.

How old is this hen?

I tried to refrain, but had to submit an honorable mention. All my best chick photos are 7-9 days, my favorite juvenile photo is a 4 week old cockerels, and I have a few 15-17 week old photos that I really like too.

The Roo in back will be entry # 56

Okay, we are now closed for entries. We have 24 entries! Thanks so much for the great turn-out! "Judging" will be by poll. Please judge according to the standard. Rather then picking 1st, 2nd, 3rd, vote for the one who best meets the standard for the category and number of votes will determine placement. We will do to 3rd place in each category. The top winner of each category (juv and older), will be entered in best of show for their sex. I'm linking to the standard here: http://www.blue-eggs.co.uk/#/legbar-standard/4554224408 but will also post parts that are applicable for each category.

CLASS 1: Best Group of Chicks, 5 days old and under.

Downs,
Female (Cream) : Silver-grey type. The stripe should be very dark brown, extending over the head, neck and rump. The edges of the stripe should be clearly defined, not blurred and blending with ground colour - the sharper the contrast, especially over the rump the better. The stripe should be broad; a narrow or discontinuous stripe should be avoided. A light head patch should be visible, clearly defined in outline, showing up brightly against the dark background.
Male : The down is much paler in tint, the pattern being blurred and washed out from head to rump; it may best be described as pale silvery-slaty.
