Thank you very much Scott!! I am in shock as to their fast growth. The cockerels are taller than my Eng. Orps. Two days ago, Walt came over to evaluate them in person. Well, I was beyond happy about his visit, yet, scared a bit; because Walt nit picks his own birds, and views them with a very critical eye.. I was so relieved that he liked them : ) : ) : ) Yay!!!!!!!
Now, I am looking forward to them reaching show age and development.

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

I am curious as to what the difference is in a New Hampshire and a German New Hampshire. After 35 years of raising and showing birds I saw my first really good New Hampshire at your show. I know very little about them but would like to know more.

Kind of quiet here. My birthday the other day. I got the book The Call Of The Hen and subscription to the poultry press. That is just wonderful. They both will be good reading.

I have a comparison going on at my place. Among the chicks I have growing up right now I have a group of German/Amercan NH and a group of German/American/Good Sheppard NH. They are all pretty much the same age (10 weeks) and are doing well. So far the Good Sheppard NH are feathered out more and look like they weigh more. The Germans even at this age have a wider tail. I drove to Kansas a couple of weeks ago and bought the Good Sheppard chicks from a lady. It should be interesting to see how they turn out. I am going to let them grow out a little more before I take pictures of them
