I want to see pictures! And I think that you are being humble. I have a very limited understanding of shows, but I'm fairly certain that birds are judged against the standard - not each other. So, even though there were only 3 Dels, yours must have deserved their wins!

Congrats,
Kim

Same goes for me. Congratulations,

Rancher

Thanks, Tim! Your chicks are adorable. I can't wait to find out what the little dark one is, I hope a pullet for your sake, too!

Congrats. on your win Beth.

Thanks!

Here are my two girls, who were way more interested in eating than posing. They really did take all this in their stride- didn't seem bothered by the noise, the people, or anything. Just wanted to eat. They both laid an egg at the show, too.

This is Tilda Swinton

This is Maggie Gillenhall. Or however you spell it. She is a better layer than speller.

This is the hen that got BB last year as a pullet at Nationals. I think she should have gotten it again,too.

Here is our Del club youth member, with her BB cockerel- doesn't he have a nice underline?

And here are some of the Bantam Dels - I am still drooling.

Good looking hens Beth, glad they done good for you.

This is the Delaware that won BB last year, as a pullet. This year she was the only hen shown.
Beth's pullets won BB and RB.

I must tell you about this hen. She is a "sport," produced by Doug Akers breedings. Doug is a fabulous guy! He gave me this hen and her sister. I will be using them in my project pen.

Heck Yeah! That's good stuff right there, just what you need for experiments and such. Alright! and thanks to Mr. Doug for helping you move forward in the project. And for setting you up with those great quality NH's that everyone is so hot on now, too.

Oh Jeff, I wish you could meet Doug! He is just the greatest guy ever..... kind, considerate, and willing to share information and even his birds! He is a real asset to the poultry world!

HA!!!! He wouldn't sell that hen to me last year. I don't like him at all. Sniff. Sniff.

Seriously he is very nice, and so is his wife. I am excited to see what Kathy can do with those girls. They look perfect for her Oliver.
