Red Laced Cornish X and project talk (pics p. 8)

Ok folks............... leaving in a few short hours to head to the Shawnee show, got everything packed and doing last minute things before I head out. While doing the final touch up's on my birds yesterday before putting them in their travel show boxes, Hulk jr was giving me fit's and broke 2 primary's 1 on each side, I was highly P.O. but what can you do when you choose to show the hardest feathered bird on the face of the planet LOL. all the other birds look fine with no problems, but he was my favorite prospect and I have several folks who are looking forward to seeing him. Anyway don't burn down the house while I am gone and if I can snag a smart phone from somebody I will post from the show floor. and post a few pic's when I get back.

Al did well at the show. I am sure he will be on when he gets back home and everything settled in. I didn't get to take my birds but did go and visit with everyone for a while Saturday.

Evening fellow cornish friends. I got back from The Shawnee show this morning tired but satisfied, I thought I did Ok at the show which also doubled as the Western Cornish Nationals. There were over 200 exhibitors with over 3000 birds present, with 50 Large Fowl Cornish and 150 Cornish Bantams making a strong presents. I showed 7 birds total in the Open English/Open Large Fowl, here were the results of 4 1st & 3 2nds.

White LF Cockrel = 1st

White LF Hen = 1st & RV

White LF Pullet = 1st & BV & 5th Best National Overall

White Laced Red LF Pullet = 1st & RV & 4th Best National overall

White LF Hen = 2nd

White LF Pullet = 2nd

White Laced Red LF Pullet = 2nd

The ICBA ( International Cornish Breeders Association ) Awarded plaques and statues for the first 5 places, and I was Honored to get 2 of those places out of five.

Here I am on Cornish row in front of a few of my birds.

A few of the my birds that did well.

So in the end I was excited to have the opportunity to show some of my birds and have a great time visiting with some great Cornishman and just enjoying the sport.

Not too bad Al, not too bad at all.

So what kind of responces/comments did you get from the Cornish crowd, or judges ?
