Back to your old tricks I see. My birds don't need to be washed, they are magnificent even when unwashed. I have a two show event next weekend. We have 38 birds entered in both shows. My waterfowl are the strongest competitors this early, so hopefully one of my ducks will make some grown men cry. Fear the Indies!! I have ten entered. I need three more important wins with them (Best or Res of Show) and I will finally be a master breeder of Indies...it has only taken 40 years.

There is a awfully wide range of things that can make a grown man cry, Walt, let's HOPE its for the magnificence of your unwashed ducks and not something else.

Guys don't like their chickens to be beat by a duck. Duck=sissy bird. I prefer doing well with waterfowl because it is harder to win with them....bottom line is that I want everyone crying except me when the show is over.

Ouch. Remind me not to compete against you! Could you ever post a picture of your Indies? I know this is a Del thread, but as a good Del friend, your Indies would be welcome!

I'm already a master breeder in some chicken breeds. Cornish being one of those breeds, but I just can't get this one for some reason. I think there are only 3 master breeders of Indies and of those three, two of them had birds from me...I'm in the book about Indies, had tons of Indie wins, but just haven't had the right kind of wins. I have shown them twice already this season and I have a Res of Show and a Best of show in those two shows, so I am off to a good start this season.

Is your cell number the same as the one you had at Columbus? That is the easiest way to find you and your accomplice at Crossroads. If Kathy is able to get an answer from Dave Wulff you may be able to find out how many Dels there will be in the show.

Oh heavens, those are GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at that green sheen (

) uh- wonderful emerald coloring!!!!
Seriously, those are lovely, lovely birds. I know squat about ducks, but I can tell a pretty bird. I hope you clobber everyone! I had thought you were a master in the chicken area, didn't realize you were still working on it in the duck area.

Yes, my cell is the same - Kathy will be the hot blond with me. We will be needing to harass you in person. DH should be there, too, so you can always look for the tall guy.

Oh, and I got brave and sent in my entry for three- one cockerel, two pullets. That is, IF I can get them down out of the tree in time. So that makes a whole 8 Dels there.

Ditto on those ducks, Walt!

WOW, what an accomplishment! I can't even imagine.

I wonder if there has ever been a master breeder of Delawares. No, of course not.

Kathy will be the wrinkly old bag with Beth. Hot was about 40 years ago, and has changed to "hot flashes."

I have 3 F1 cockerels growing out. They are from cock #2, same as yours. George is the only one I have from cock #1.

Well if you would just start showing, YOU might be the first, my friend. Get brave!

Uh, I guess that makes two old bags, Walt, can you deal?
