Hi Grace,

Great, that will make happy to know. He wants to take a good one

I didn't get to make the last show, I was so sick and did not want to give it to anyone, but I sure wanted to go. This stuff has been hard to kick. Still have some congestion, but doing much better now.

I am still trying to get my cousin to make some T-shirts.

She travels doing insurance adjustments and said that she was just too busy right now, but when she gets a break she will make some for me.

Is the meeting at 6'oclock Friday?

He is beautiful- but in the pic it appears his foot is crooked. (pigeon toed?) Maybe it's just the camera angle

From what I've seen body is good but tail needs to be fuller and he won't be at his Maximum potencial( can't spell haha) till he is between 1 and 2 years old so he could finish out to be better I can see his tail is filling out now so I would give him another couple months and see if there is any improvement in his tail

 

[Elite Silkies]

Didn't notice the foot. But, I haven't noticed it being pigeon toed at all. Will check that out very closely tomorrow.

His feathers have just recently started to fill in, so his tail does get better and better with time.

I'll hold him off the chopping block for now, unless that foot is crooked

I think it was just the way he was standing, but now it is going to drive me crazy not knowing until in the morning.

I remember you saying you were sick, but I still watched for you all weekend

What kind of t-shirts is your cousin going to make?
Yes, the meeting is 6:00 on Friday in the main building on the fairgrounds (just look where the red Ford truck is parked

)

I was trying to get her to make your P.O.O.P.S.(is that right) t-shirts. I think you were doing a fund raiser of some sort.

I got sick on August 25th and still not fully over it yet. I have severe allergies, and anytime I leave town I get sick. I didn't think I would get that sick going an 1 1/2 out of town. But, I think my allergies turned into a really bad cold.

I did this once before and it took me almost 3 months to get rid of it.

But, the kids and I will come out Friday. I would really like to get them involved in an activity. That will be good for them.

I'm not big into Australorps, but his posture is too upright for my tastes. His tail also seems to come off at an odd angle. It looks much sharper than 40*.

Cammy,
I should have brought my SOP to work with me; I looked stuff up last night for you, but now I can't remember much except the tail angle is to be 40 degrees, the eye dark brown and the beak dark and medium. The comb is to curve slightly with the head shape and the legs should be slate colored with pink undersides. Most of which I am sure you know. He looks a LOT like the picture in the SOP to me except for the tail set. I am still trying to read descriptions and relate them to people's pictures and it's not easy - I would rather do it off live birds.
So never mind novice me saying anything-you are way more expert than I am....
I just think he's beautiful!

I am by far an expert, I have only had Australorps for about 4 months now, so I don't know much. I looked everywhere for the SOP and couldn't find anything. I have searched for pictures of a Show Quality Roo and can't seem to find much on that either.

I don't even know how to tell what degree the tail is at.

So, any help is appreciated.
