I just ordered this also. I would love to get to a show that had more large fowl than the CCshow does. I know we have another coming up I shall check show listing at APA site.

Wanted to pass on this link for those that do not know about it. It is a free ezine for showing. http://www.exhibitionpoultry.net/

We didn't find what we were looking for at the show but, it was great meeting some fellow chicken lovers.

Tennesseeckn, I think Roo is beautiful. He sure made my wife and I stop and take a look at him. And he's not fat....just big boned !

At our house we say "He's not fat, he's jes FLUFFY!"

We had fun, but DH doesn't like bantams

so we didn't see anything we wanted. Since we weren't showing and there wasn't many standard sized breeds we decided to head home right after lunch.

Tennesseeckn, we discussed getting a few of your chicks but we couldn't afford paying that much since I was getting BLRW's from HBuehler from Middle TN the same day. I got 4 BLRW's and 8 hatching eggs

, my loving aunt brought them down for me since I'm sick. As far as your rooster goes, DH loved him! He wanted to know how fast he got that big?

That's awesome! I didn't know the site existed. Thanks for the link.

Roo will be eight months old in a couple of weeks. He got as tall as he is now pretty quickly, he's just been filling out the last two months. They tell me they don't stop filling out until they are eighteen months old. Roo is one of my two tallest cockerels. The others are shorter and they are all broader.​

You guys crack me up. I actually might have to use those for myself the next time I try on my summer clothes.

You need more cochin mixes! You could have a whole herd of broodies soon! LOL

Seriously does anyone want one of my 4 girls left? 2 black, 1 blue, 1 splash....the blue wheaten pictured is not for sale

I had them at the sale but didn't sell them. Not willing to go below $12 each. Unless you buy all four and then I'll take $40.

The blue cochin rooster pictured is the dad. Mom was a marans/ameraucana cross. Everyone LOVED the splash and the blue girl.....just nobody bought them! I sold a couple other hens, but not these four. They are all Point of Lay/laying. 1 black hen laid a pullet egg there, no idea on the others. I believe the blue and splash girls are laying and the other black is still a few weeks off.

Nellabean....I did not think you had anything left at the show. How far away are you again from Newport??
