Sounds like you had a great trip then! Not to mention you got to see all of us.

Bobby looks great for an old man! he doesn't enjoy it anymore?

The little fav pullet is settling in. She was very timid and afraid of everyone but she's finally figured out no one is going to bother her. The roo sure is happy to have another girl. He dances for her but doesn't harrass her at all.

The ones someone brought in a trailer? I saw they were priced $30-50.

Oh, okay. Same people, I just didn't notice how much they were. I didn't have room for more stuff anyway.

Yes, $20.00 each, they stayed for a bit and talked with us after. They are making a trip to Maine and like a dumb dumb forgot to get their contact information.

Geesh, you've lived in Maine right

Not all peaches and cream for sure...

Sarah did great!! This show they do awards for just the first three places, she took two of the first three. Her buff silkie hen took first (show champion, pretty good for a silkie, especailly a buff at that-this was also a bred by her bird) and her dark cornish hen took 3rd place for the whole show. Got a trophy and money for each place (all she cared about was the money of course) She also got Reserve Pigeon (and more money), and they judged all the pigeons together Junior and Open. There were a few there too.
She also placed first in her showmanship class, even though Bobby was not being happy, he's been pretty grumpy the last couple of shows, she's thinking about retiring him and working with a younger pullet, he's been doing this almost 5 years and think he's about had enough. Still looks pretty good for an old man.

thats great, so well worth the trip!, how did dh take the new rabbit?? LOL that rabbit was so cute i am sure he melted!!

Actually he barely looked at her. She is soooo sweet. All he wanted to see were those hugh Standard RI's we got for him at the show.

Thanks. I think he's had enough with all the traveling. She keeps him in very good condition and his cage very clean. He very rarely needs a bath when she shows him just his feet washed, and nails and beak trimmed and done, than she puts the sweet oil to shine his comb.

Glad to hear she settled in. May have another one, she is very young, will know in a week or so her beak looks slightly off tonight.
