Probably. A lot of people with no idea all @ the same time. And they've probably bought young hens not realising it will be a while before they lay & they will stop in winter to say nothing of the numbers of hybrids being sold. In 18 months there's going to be a lot of people wondering why their chickens have suddenly carked it.
Yep some people I have spoken to even have a waiting list
Sorry!!!! Haha! But I don’t see long, pointy hackle or sickle feathers.Can you edit this post please. I don't want Mag reading it. He would be most insulted.
Mag is a rooster and very much so. He would be devastated to read he had been mistaken for a hen.
Yikes! Millie might have become a chick killer if I hadn’t taken the babies in. Whose chicks did Myth kill?
Cashew misses ALL of those standards!That is really interesting. I would have assumed they would have the same characteristics being of the same breed only different colors. So I went and pulled the standards used for judging to see.
Weight for females should be 3.40-4.80kg (7.5-10.5lb). Hatties is on the low side if not too small.
Feathers should be close to the body but not right next to the body. Plumage: Fairly profuse but close, not soft, loose and fluffy as in the Cochin, or close and hard as in the Game Fowl.
I guess our girls will not be winning any contests.
This is great! And all that FLUFF!
You think? Depending on the exam format, it could be more about showing the appropriate steps. What is the subject?
Not sure. Bob's in IT.
Me, neither! We don’t have them here, and I’ve never seen one in real life. They look pretty cool in the photos!
Magnificent!
