German New Hampshire

The two males that I've processed (at about 30 weeks) have had nicer breast meat than other roosters I've processed (Leghorn, NHxBO, and BOxGLW among them). Also, my lead male feathered out very early (much earlier than the rest of his flock) and matured very early (much earlier than the other males).

"in time" for what? If I may ask.

Not "in time" as in the "nick of time", but that in the process of time we might be successful.

It was not made clear. It could have been read either way.

I have never been sharp, but I am certainly less sharp than I used to be. I just throw it out there, and let it fall where it may.

this is my cockerel Reginald, he is very large and broad chested. His legs could be a little more yellow but apart from this he is a very good Roo... especially to his ladies

Stunning bird. I'm not up to SOP much but he's beautiful.

Standard of Perfection. That is the written description of the breed that judges use. The closer a bird is to the SOP, the higher it should place in a show (compared to the competition). At least that's the theory - judges being human, sometimes personal preferences or familiarity play a role in the comparisons too.

That's universal; none of us is as sharp as we used to be. =)
