Thought I'd share a funny picture this morning- this is my EE roo, ICP. I named him that because he looks like one of the insane clown posse people. Isn't he the weirdest looking roo?

AHHHH I think he is handsome!

He's pretty! Very unusual

Does he have a personality to match?

 

[iowachks]

He's pretty sweet, like a normal EE. He just learned to crow this week and he's very proud of himself. I'd never seen coloration like his before!

Sometimes ya gotta go where the birds are. We went to the shores of Lake Michigan to get the Buckeyes-in a blizzard-both ways! We still have Chocolate Cake left and she is a sweetheart!

I agree that you have to go where the good stuff is. Drove to Virginia last year for my Columbians(1949 mile roundtrip). I went to the breeders that have been getting some of the most master breeder points with their birds. Some pictures of the new birds.

All of them

How do you handle 4H kids that are looking for good quality birds/show winners? I had 3 kids in May looking for good birds, pairs and trios in good show condition.I couldn't help them and tried to tell them to start talking to me in the fall for next year. They were shocked at what it costs for good birds and I am giving a break for 4H kids.
