[COLOR=0000FF]I am in New York at the show, I must say, this picture does not do him justice, really a stunning bird, beautiful even color, and an amazingly wide chest. He is pictured above on Champion Row at the Buffalo and Western NY show, Twin Tier is tomorrow and I suspect he will be on Champion Row again after Twin Tier is judged, congratulations ladies![/COLOR]

Thank you ! And I'm sure Lynne will thank you too !

You said the pullets will be out too. Will she be showing them? I can't wait!!

I just heard from Lynne, AVECA, that her Monty son from me just won CH. English at 10 1/2 months old at his first show. Lynne has done a beautiful job of raising and conditioning him. Here's a photo from The Twin Tiers show in NY. taken today. I couldn't be more pleased. Lynne has 2 pullets from me who will be out shortly.

Huge Congrats to both Vickie and Lynne it is a very much deserved win for the both of you!!! What a stunning bird he is!!

Thank you. He is 100% English, that fits the Standard with stiff tail feathers, and no hanging fluff. Lynne has done such a great job getting him ready. I'm more thrilled than if I had won. Love to get my kids into show homes.

are there any other pictures of him...i would love to get a better look at him as I am still a bit confused as to how much fluff is too much fluff, and what the right amount looks like on a bird.

You should be able to see the feet, and legs up to the hocks. I'll ask Lynne to post some of him when she gets home. All I have are baby photos.Here's one at about 6-7 months, before washing and grooming.His feet and legs a plainly visible.

These birds grow frame until 6-7 months , and then put on width and bulk , plus all those pretty gold feathers. He will continue to get more massive until he's two years old.My boys are generally wider than a 5 gallon bucket by 6 months. Here's one of his little (?) brother at the same age, from the front. Hungry......
