I had to use a magnifying glass to see mine actually had feathers and it was not just a "scale" off the leg... The mud would need glasses to find thefeather to stick to it.

The judge was right. I should have caught it. It happens. Kind of disappointing, it is like showing a bird that has a sprig. You just never see the real tiny ones.

That could be over kill.. I would think blister on the legs could cost me a few points too.

You ever see the "dancing" chicken in a carnival sideshow?

Where do you show your birds?

Where do you show your birds?

Just here in Mn, which mean 2 shows a year.

It is a lot of hassle for just 2 shows to try and keep them up. Maybe I should give up birds and take up fishing.

I thought about taking my Legbars to Oklahoma last month, but decided against traveling 2 days each way with chickens in my van.
