Vermeer and Johanna, they are the prettiest birds. I had better pictures, but they wouldn't upload. So this will have to do.

Hey there! No, you didn't buy them from me.

I was a the National, but I was showing some of that pictured pair's offspring. I didn't sell any, though. The only person I saw with Dutch in the sales cages was Steve Gould, but I didn't think he had any Creams for sale (I could totally be wrong about that though). I didn't see any other Dutch in the sales area, but gosh it was sooooo busy, it would have been easy to miss them! I think Ryu mentioned Sara Frank might have been selling birds, was it her that you got them from?

Enjoy your new Dutch, they are a pretty pair!

I tried to swing through the Dutch, but didn't get over there. Crazy isn't it when you're someplace for 3 days and can't find a minute to talk to everybody!

Glad the Dutch are going well. Congrats!

Well, that show was crazy! Never seen anything like it. It was awesome, though. There were a lot more folks I would have liked to meet in person, but the whole weekend went by so quickly!

Thanks, I am very much enjoying my Dutch. We have built a lot of new pens and I have scrapped any and all plans to breed any LF for the foreseeable future (with the exception of two varieties of Polish) so that I can concentrate more on them. One of my cream light brown pullets was 1st place and reserve variety at the National. I was tickled!

A couple of weeks ago at the Sussex, NJ show I had BV cream light brown with the same pullet, BV & RV blue light brown w/a cockerel & pullet, and the 1st place light brown cockerel. I am learning a lot by getting them out and showing them, and the guys from the Dutch club have just been wonderful with any questions I have.

Did you have Cornish at the National?

Yes. Not the ones I wanted to bring, but some younger backups. Tamara Staples photographed two of my Cornish for The Fairest Fowl--I was totally geeked out. I was with the Modern Game Bantams most of the time. I got a RV for Silver Blue. Competition was fierce over there in the Brown Reds and Birchens.

We will meet one of these days. Maybe in Ohio next year?

 

[chipmunkridge]

I kinda suspected that was the Fairest Fowl photographer; who else take fashion pics of chickens? I LOVE that book, I check it out of the library at least twice a year, someday they may just give it to me.

I think it was Steve Gould I bought the birds from, I swore I was going to remember the names of people I bought from, but the promptly forgot. I was there and did my shopping Friday afternoon, so the birds were gone by 4:00. THey are uber spectacular.

my friend got this dude thinking he was OEGB... but i thought the coloring and white ears were way too different than any of the OEGB we have...

he's having a hard time finding him a hen... but also, i don't know how to tell a OEGB hen from a dutch bantam hen... i might even have some dutch hens in my coop... LOL...
