Yes, but they use the term "lightly feathered" as being the correct amount of feathering. In this case, I believe these feathers will be sparse in volume, as compared to the MCCU's term of "lightly" purportedly being correct. In other words, this chick won't have enough when grown, so in my mind they are lacking, or sparse.

This will end up being a nightmare for most Judge.

LOL

...Especially when the woman showing the bird thinks that the feathering is "light" and the male judge says

it's "sparse"

....I don't care if my birds layed 24 karat solid gold eggs with a #9 color coat, I will not put my birds or eggs in a fair or a show. Personal preference...

Well I guess that will make it like a horseshow... The judges discretion... If you don't like the judges opinion... show under a different judge... they are individuals... It is after all.... for fun!!!

I have lots of ribbons... some of them I feel I deserved.. some I think someone bettered me... The real win for me Mel as well is the satisfaction in my own yard... If someone agrees with me... Well lucky them.. ha ha ha...

What was that Mel ? ? ?

If the first joint hurts does it mean something else ? ?
What if it is the second joint of the second toe ? ?
What does it mean if it faces north instead of south ? ?

Does your toe come with a rubric ? ??

Have you considered seeing a doctor about your toe ailments ? ?

No, but I have been offered a job as a meteorologist!

My kids tell me all the time, " It ain't funny if we have to explain it", but could you explain why "non-hybrid" corn?
Hybrid corn is no good for the higher proof stuff ? ? ?

From what my deceased neighbor used to tell me, to make "Shine" it has to be non-hybrid corn because it has something to do with the components of the grain and it's ability to germinate during the fermentation process....can you help me out here, Don?

Anybody that could come up with such an awesome setup as your barrel coops must have a background in working with barrels -- like maybe charred oak ones -- ...
