Always nice to have some good news!! And thanks for the reminder, mine needs new batteries too.

She could always buy a plug in model, but you never know when Amy might be... working...

That's what happens when you hatch, grow, and sell everything. Culling is a necessity

And he will sell some, and they will think they got beautiful birds.... and will continue the process....

French redneck hick..

Oh no... what day are we on?

Day 20.....so.....yeah....

OMG!!!!! Sold 3 of my boys this morning....so sad.

I'm sitting here so P.Oed I sold my best rooster because he was mean and now don't have a mean one to try Don's method on .Sidewing's eggs should be good .

I don't think those chicks were cheap is this Wade Jeane

That is Wade, but he's out. There is a very long story to that, and it differs on who you talk to. Wade was in GA, not far from Athens, and my birds are "Wade Jeane lines". Sounded good at the time, but I know better now. I'm also English/Scottish lines, but rather diluted

Wade did a great job with his original program, but his birds got scattered to the wind. If you pulled that pic from the "My Dark Eggs" website, that guy seems to have the most pure version of Wade's original flock, but very pricey

That's exactly what I'm trying not to do

I have seen this pic before, but never noticed. Even in the most prominent pic on that website, the roo he is holding has the exact same comb fault that Tate does

Man, I wish I had been patient and gotten on a waiting list like sidewing did.

This is a lesson for anyone wanting to breed. If I keep moving forward with what I have, I will probably still be 2 years behind sidewing

I don't throw out anything until lockdown unless it stinks. Then again, I don't candle until lockdown...

I'm no longer in denial, I realized last night that I have a SERIOUS addiction to candling. I just told myself the night before that I wouldn't candle again to lockdown...and I believed myself (that's how I know it's bad). But at night when I go to hand turn, I literally can not stop myself!! Now that I've changed the batteries and could see Mars if I shined this thing in the sky, forget about it.

Do it, you'll be shocked at how much better it is! I was about to kill a chick! Oh and I thought the quail eggs were all too old and duds...2 are developing!

Is this what SQ looks like for BCMs? So, no gold around the neck? I seriously don't know what sop is and I think all the pics posted were handsome.

I bought a plug in candler once. Was a total piece of crap. I returned it the next day.

I didn't take any offense by that. I asked for opinions, and that would be a typical response on the BCM thread. I know Tate has faults, so I knew what to expect. I have noticed, though, that plenty of people pick out the faults, but very few post pics of their SQ birds

What keeps shows going are breeders from all walks of life. the ideal is to draw more people to a show . Its one thing to take first place out of ten . its means a whole lot more to take first out of a hundred . I was not offended for you . I like explanations as to why. a good judge will explain why they picked and placed every entry like they did. while I don't have time to show . I might at some time .waiting for sidewing to lead the way. blaze the trail . find all the trip wires .

The color is better than tate, but that bird doesn't look as good as the one Ravyn posted yesterday. If you go to Snowbird's profile page, he has a beautiful rooster, too. Jeane's birds are known for being taller and leaner than Bev's. All lines have their issues, but I think sidewing went the best route

This is why I'm trying to be patient, find the right breeders and pay more now. I don't want to hatch something and get attached to it and then have to give it away. I already wish I hadn't of gone with the original breeder I went with. But you guys made me feel a lot better about them!
