Well, my husband and i got there late and didn't stay long. But did enjoy seeing the birds. i looked at those showgirls, too, and was very tempted. But i already have three white ones and would really like to add some different colors. i was very interested in a cage of splash silkies, but they didn't have a price on them and no owner nearby. i wonder if those belonged to anyone from here?
We ended up buying a pretty little Quail Bearded Belgium d'Anver hen. Once my husband got her in his hands, it was all over, he was in love.
Anyhow, i wanted to share some of the pictures i took of some of the interesting birds i saw. i may not know what all of them are, but they were pretty.
i think this is a mandarin duck(?). It looked unreal. i want some!
This was the most sensational looking standard polish, a frizzled guy (who would not put his head up for a picture). Would this be a splash color?
This guy was scary! i think it's a Shamo.
Then there was cages full of the most ginormous chickens i've ever seen! There were orps and astralorps and brahmas, but they were the English variety. i have never seen such huge birds. Here is a BO:
Not sure what he is, but he's pretty.
This hen had the most incredible geometric design on her feathers.
Here is my husband shooting the breeze with one of the guys.
These were some cool (and very loud) gooses.
Then here is an old man goose (or that's what he looks like to me) Is he a Dewlap Toulouse?
Lastly, here is our new little girl.
