The dog is fully recovered thanks for asking she has a plate in her shoulder and sometimes she's sore and stiff but she's great.
Thanks it'll be a while yet for us but we're happy and together that's what's important.

My dog was shot now is three legged and she still the happiest dog ever wouldn't trade her for any other

I'm glad to hear your dog is OK. How did it get shot in the first place if you don't mind my asking?

First Annual Cream Legbar Club Online Virtual Show

Rules for the Show:

1. Pictures of the entry birds should be unobstructed, close up views with profile views preferred.
2. Pictures should be visually appealing and taken by you.
3. Pictures must be of living birds.
4. Pictures must have been taken within two months of the show end date, October 20, 2015. Although not a requirement for this show, a digital date on the picture is helpful.

6. Entries will be accepted from September 20, 2015 – October 20, 2015.

Categories of Entries:

1. Varieties of Entrants: Cream Legbars, “Crele” Legbars, White Legbars
2. Entrants will be labelled as: Cocks, Hens, Cockerels, or Pullets

Judging and Results:

1. The best and reserve cock, hen, cockerel, and pullet for each variety will be determined.
2. The best and reserve variety will be determined from the best cock, hen, cockerel, and pullet within that variety.
3. The best and reserve in show will be determined from the best in variety champions.
4. The current Revision 4 of the draft Standard of Perfection (SOP) for the cream legbar will be used for judging. We hope to have tentatively approved two preliminary draft SOPs for the White Legbar and the “Crele” Legbar available for the APA judge’s use and comment.

Awards:

1. The Best in Show winner will receive a two year paid membership to the Cream Legbar Club
2. The Reserve in Show, the Best and Reserve Variety winners will receive a one year paid membership to the Cream legbar Club.
3. Only one award membership will be granted per entrant.

Recommendations:

1. When adding your entry to the Facebook event page, please ensure that you title your entry with the variety and label of the bird to be entered.

Examples: Cream Legbar Cock; White Legbar Hen; “Crele” Legbar Cockerel; Cream Legbar Pullet, etc.

This will greatly facilitate judging of the bird and eliminate any confusion of the variety that you believe the bird to be.

2. The judging will be done by an APA registered/licensed poultry judge. So do your best to present your birds in show condition. If this were a live show, the judge would examine and pick up the bird. As such, the judge would expect to find birds freshly bathed and in peak condition.

3. Show birds have attitude!! They unfailingly have a sense of who they are and this message comes across loudly in the pictures of the bird. This, too, is a point of judging birds in a show. How does the chicken carry himself or herself in presenting themselves to other chickens and people?

Capturing this attitude in a picture can make all the difference especially since the APA judge is unable to pick the bird up or observe the bird’s behavior in an online show.

As always, we wish everyone the best of luck in this online show. We are really looking forward to the great pictures of your birds and the results of the great work that you are doing to support the legbar breed and its varieties!

FINAL NOTE: With respect to draft SOPs for this show. As noted in the judging section, we will use the current draft Revision 4 of the Cream Legbar SOP as posted on the club website. We are seeking the APA judge’s comments on the preliminary draft of the White Legbar and the “Crele” Legbar SOPs. With respect to the shape and physical structure of the male and female White and “Crele” Legbars, these varieties will use the same information as the draft Revision 4 of the Cream Legbar SOP.

Just sharing couple of pictures of my Mottled Orpington Dolly. She is almost 6 months and just turned 6lbs. I am hoping she will at least be 7 lbs.

I'm glad to hear your dog is OK. How did it get shot in the first place if you don't mind my asking?

When she was about 4.5 months old my sisters do busted out a screen door and ran down the road she followed him and they ended up at a guys at the end of the roads yard he said she was being visiuos so he shot her but I had already made it down there before hand she was actually sitting and wagging her tail I was actually reaching for her

 

[chickendreams24]

Oh my gosh I'm so sorry. I think I'd have taken a swing at the guy gun or no gun.

Everyone please keep my flock in your thoughts and prayers I walk outside this afternoon to find what I believe was a juvenile red tailed hawk sitting on my porch railing. Naturally I panicked as all the birds were out free ranging. All are accounted for but one silver laced wyandotte(our best quality one) named Paisley. I'm worried for her. I don't think a hawk could have picked her up she's between 6-8 lbs but I have searched around our property and outbuildings and have found nothing. No blood no pile of feathers no Paisley. All I can do is pray she's hiding somewhere and that she comes home. I want to be sure she's safe and not somewhere in shock. Think I'll be trying some hawk deterents tomorrow and hopefully Paisley turns up.

Hoping more large fowl roos will help. Faraday those boys better hurry up and grow.

I would think if the hawk had gotten Paisley, he wouldn't have been sitting on your porch. Hopefully, Paisley is just hiding out somewhere. I will cross my fingers for you.
