gootziecat, his comb and battles are too big for my tastes, but he probably has the best type I've seen on a Lav bird. They typically look so gangley to me.

Nope! she's from Jody & Charlie-hinkjc

She is HUGE like a turkey! She and Julie are 8 mths old, both slow to mature and not laying yet...so I think they still have some growing to do!

Cheryl, they are looking lovely!

Funny you say she is huge like a turkey. Someone was here and looking at my 19-20 week old black orps and asked me if they were turkeys.

They said they've never seen chickens so big.

Jody that's what people say whenever they see Oprah! She's bulky too, not just feathers!

Is Oprah show worthy? I'm showing something else at an upcoming show her in CA and wondered if I should take her. I'm not really sure for what purpose as I'm not breeding them, but she sure is pretty

Well, only the judges determine if they're show worthy. All you could do is take her and see how she does. I don't see any reason why not to take her. Have fun with it.
