Herherm. He's a bantam. of course he looks "scrawny." I don't want a chunky bantam. And last time I looked, gamey=scrawny, wild-looking. That bird looks gamey. No breast to speak of, and tall posture. TA-DA.

I know of games that don't look scrawny. They should be full breasted still. I could also tell that bird was a bantam by its "bug eyed" head as I call it, and being a bantam doesn't necessarily limit what thier body is shaped like.

Anyone here going to be at Stockton? I'd LOVE to meet you. My boys have sold all but one of their show birds and I am thinking I'd like to take over my husband's decorative Sumatra flock and give showing a whirl. I'd love to make a few contacts in the LF Sumatra show world. I met Sherry Parker yesterday at the Hollister show.

Ther are AMAZING bantams here in CA. Barbara Bullock shows them. She beats the Cornish classes of 100 sometimes with them. Very nice type, and good size too.

Hmmm, I wonder if I know Barabara. Is she an elderly woman? Used to have rabbits and guinea pigs?

Aw, come on. I drove to Kansas for a rabbit show. This is a lot closer for you. (btw, I stopped by Old Town Albuquerque on the way home - loved it).
