He's still young.. its only going to get higher. They always get higher. Lol. Thank you though! He is a nice bird otherwise.

let's pray together that his tail will not get higher! I've heard when more people pray for the same thing God will hear the prayer. I think it worked for the sale of my house. it was almost impossible to find the buyer and to get the money I got. a few people from byc (in different threads) from all over the world prayed with me and miracle happened!

for your boy's tail (I don't see the praying smiley)

Praying definitely couldnt hurt! Thanks!! Praying for a miracle that his tail isnt high when he matures!!

I penned up my first potential show bird for the fall. Hopefully her tail doesnt go verticle between now and then, but so far she looks good. This is Lucille's oldest daughter. She is around 5 or so months old.

Oh yea, that's what I'm talking about. She's going to look like her mama. What show are you shooting for?

Thank you! She got the better features of Lucille without inheriting her overly fluffy hindend or cushion. Lol. There is the Dixie Classic in Knoxville, TN I want to go to in December, then there is the Appalachian Classic in Morehead, KY in November. There is one at the Greenriver Poultry Club in September in Brownsville, KY also. I would love go to all of those. Most definitely I am going to the Dixie Classic because The Marans Club is having a meet there.

ill be attending the Dixie classics also on the 2nd in Knoxville. Im almost postive ill just be spectating though, unless one of my grow outs turn out decent. I'm mainly trying to shake hands and pick brains if you know what i mean, I've never showed chickens before so i have no clue what to expect.

The way i understand it, that's suppose to be the show of shows and all the top names in Marans will be there. I think you'll do good, you got nice birds.

Cool! Maybe I'll bump into you there! And I'll be keeping my fingers crossed one (or several!) of your grow outs end up in the show cages. I've never shown chickens before either so it's all new to me too.
