I was pvt'd who it was that told her that. Matt will do a MUCH better job.

yeah she clerked for him so got to talk to him which I guess wasn't a good thing. He didn't seem to have time to talk to anyone otherwise. I'm going to his show in about a month but at least won't have to worry bout him judging. It'll be Terry Britt and Danny padgett. So well see how that goes. Looking forward to seeing what Terry has to say about my buff orps.

Glad matt will do a good job. Or maybe at least be tactful in tellin us our birds are CRAP!! Heehee. Just kidding!

wasn't laying blame or negativity toward julie with the statement about her clerking. I didn't know it was "bad ethics". I was revering to the "wasn't a good thing" to be that he somewhat offended and made us both feel like we had inferior birds. Just wanted to clear that up.

Totally understand. Maybe the judge shouldn't of been so harsh. You like opinions not crushing re marks.

Ok, hope he will see this if not i will PM him Thanks

To make buff Faverolles, breed your buff cochin male to a salmon hen. You only need to hatch about 12 chicks. You will keep one male which probably will be all white. I had some all white with a colored tail, I didn't keep them, I kept the one that was mostly pure white. The following year breed that male to salmon hens,keep all the light colored pullets. The following year breed a salmon Faverolles male to all the light coloreds pullets. This will keep you busy for a while. The breeding formula is on this thread somewhere. I'm not sure how far back. If you get this far let me know.

I have a mantra that I darn near live by these days...it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission!
