Yes, I agree with @picklesbuddy that you should host another show, Bubbles!

They are so much fun (and plus, it's just a chance for me to show off my lovely girls).

LOL, don't worry, I'll keep doing it. The only problem is I can't enter my own show so I never win.
Need to get someone else to do it.

@Alexandra33 ....

LOL...I love doing shows, don't worry, I'll keep going 'till we all run out of ideas!! the only problem is I can't enter my own show, and only Frindizzle really does actual shows, and that's only once a week! there needs to be more OPS creators and fans!!!

Well, that's certainly no fun!

It's so much fun snapping pictures of our birds and then semi-bragging about them. Just kidding.

Stunning! My Lavender boy showed early at about 4 weeks old. He's actually currently 14 weeks old, as the picture shows.

He's gorgeous, Alex. Larry is a late bloomer. Everyone swore pullet until he went through a light molt. Two weeks ago I noticed hackle and saddle feathers coming in instead of those nice fluffy butt feathers that the pullets get. I have a Buff Orpington cockerel 25 weeks old who had 'pullet' feathers until he popped up with a comb and wattles when he was just 8 weeks old. Red is a good sized boy but Larry is a huge, very tall bird. I'm afraid of what feathers are going to fly when his hormones start to really surge.Right now he hangs at the edge of the flock with a few younger pullets trying to keep a low profile from the other three roosters.

Poor boy hasn't realized that he stands a head and neck taller than the biggest of our other roosters. I think when he figures it out feathers will literally fly.

This is Red Bird caught in mid crow.

Like Larry Bird, Red was a pullet until at the age of 8 weeks, he developed a comb and wattles. He didn't develop Cockerel plummage until he was about 16 weeks of age.

Anybody want this restarted as soon as these two are ended?
