Good Morning Chickeners . . . .
I woke up wondering how the CLB fared in the judging yesterday. Anyone know?
I drove down and while driving through Watertown I picked up my five-year-old GS. I was informed while introducing him to Ralphie that his name is I - V - O - R and not Iver. The - OR - must be pronounced.
My first time intentionally
going to any type of a fowl show except for the State Fair and it is like the state fair. Eye candy for those of us that are chickeners. I am sure that ALL of you know this. I did not. Personally, I have become attracked to the Wyandottes. Well, anything with penciling. Ivor and I stayed about 1 1/2 hour - - - - maybe.
HOW DID THE CLB DO in the judging?

Or 6 hours? One of those.

That was MY winning Cockerel, not the cull Holm showed after he stole it from my pen..

I am home.... I have chickens to unload and chicken taco's to unwrap. The WWD is really happy for me and glad I brought home 3 new Chanticler Girls.

My SS beat out the other guy showing them again.... I only wish I had been able to show Cuddles.

I got my clock cleaned in the Chanticlers. Highest I got was Second place with Knuckle head in the cockerels. I am thinking breaking Mike Gilbert's legs next October will help my placement next year.


EJB That Legbar's comb is a has been. There is no way I will be able to keep that over winter.. I have not decided if I will breed him or not. While he has the color I like he has not filled out as much as I had hoped. I might be using last years roosters again on new hens to try and cement the size and shape on the girls before working on the boys some more.
