Awesome!!!!

If we have a little warm weather I might have eggs to bring.
I will definitely be bringing a few of my superfluous millie hens, and a couple of goldneck cockerals (quite young)

The better the feathering the better the placing, but poor 2nd toefeathers is lesser a rating than poor beard & muffs. But of 2 perfect birds, the one with better toes feathers will win, from what I've seen. Make sense?

I am really looking forward to the show, meeting you and seeing your birds. There should be a good turn out. I know entries have been coming in.
I will

for warmer weather and laying hens! Stay warm.

Yes, thank you. By the way, the birds we got from you are doing great!

They are just precious Cynthia. How is the feathering on their feet? Cant wait for more of mine to hatch. It's truly a sickness

that many of us have, I'm sure

I'll have to be able to inspect them closer to see if the middle toes are feathered. At least a couple seem to have good foot feathering, but till I can pick up the little buggars myself and check, can't say for certain.

Melt, snow, MELT!

I second what Lori said. Feet always over beards from my exp also

One of the first things judges seem to look at.

[Carolynspeeps]

I'm not Lori

Misty, she is very pretty. I hope you keep her long enough to see what she looks like as an adult.

As for eggs, what are the colors and how much?
