Surviving Minnesota!

[DwayneNLiz]

All the chanticlers had deep divisions. The PC's had 9 hens as I recall, 7Pullets, I am guessing now 4-5 cockerels and 4 Cocks. The whites were even larger divisions. As I recall at the Chanticler Fanciers meeting Mike said there were 98 Chantilcer ,,,I think...Old age and CRS sometimes interferes.

I am extremely happy with Hens and pullets I bought. I bought the number 2 hen and the Number 5 hen,,,Which confounded Judy, " why would you buy a hen that placed below you?"""

The number 5 hen had some penciling I liked and had a deeper darker texture to her color than mine. She only placed lower because of the molt having hit her.

Mike and the Judge both said the hens were and extremely tough tight group and the difference from first to last place was not much.


We did have enough Legbars to get the paper work filled out for the APA recognition. We had 25 legbars entered and none were disqualified. This is extremely good news for the Cream Legbar club. There is a show next weekend which was set up in case we fell short. I told them I was not sure if we would have enough, but we did!

The show next weekend is 2 cocks short of qualifying. Now we have to wait a year and have a second pre-qualifier (4x4) then the APA will set a qualifier, some where that requires 10 birds in each division and 50 total....... Then after that the nationals and we are done...So 2 more years and we will have them recognized.


Here is how the legbars placed:

Best of Breed----- MOI,,,That would be me...
Reserve of Breed---- Bantambird

Both were Pullets.

Cocks we only had 4... I had 1st and 3rd.... Bantambird had second and 4th

Hens:

I had 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.. Holm had 4th. 2 none placers.

Cockerels ( We had a complete miscarriage of justice in this class)

1st went to MnChickmom for her accidental cull...... With a good body on hm...

2nd went to Bantambird....

3rd and 4th were mine.... We had 5 none placers.

Pullets ( justice was restored here)

1st place the great Duluthralphie...
2nd Bantambird
3rd Bantambird
4th went to a person seldom on her from nearby me. 2 none-placers...

Congrats everyone!!!
thanks for all the pics!!

Duluthralphie I hope I'm in the right spot. I'm finally joining you here...
To all the other CLB peeps that were at the show this weekend, *hi!* I'm glad to have met you all!
For everyone else, hi! I'm Amber and kind of new here. I tend to stay on FB, this site kind of confuses me, but since the CLB club tends to hang here, guess I'll have to get used to it
I've got a mixed flock of about 60 chickens, 9 sheep, 6 goats, 3 LGDs, a house dog, 5 kids and a husband. Glad to be here and hoping to learn!

welcome over!!

I should have bought her a call dux to prove it..

Yes you should have!!!

Morning peeps! Congrats to all at the show! We will also enjoy more photos of all the up coming new birds, birds kids. I've had a rough couple of weeks. my Boy, my Australian shepherd, has been throwing up since sunday night (he was fine all day sunday) and throwing up since. this morning at 5:30 he had a seisure. 800.00 later at the emergency vet, they don't know what is going on. or even if the throwing up and seizure is related. They gave him fluids, and anti-nausea meds. he is also very weak and wobbly, staggers when he walks. I'm worried sick. I've had many dogs, but Brox has my heart. I hope he starts showing signs of improvement. The only thing we can figure is he ate something in the yard, but don't know what... something rotten or molding in the compost?, maybe a neighbor poisoned a gopher and it came over?, or put poison along the fence line? we don't know... we are waiting to hear from our regular vet to see what he thinks...

so sorry to read that he was unwell, but glad that he has improved!!

Got in a little accident this morning. Icy roads... Didn't get hurt and neither did the truck but it could have been a lot worse than it was...

HOLMS!!! gadzooks!

I see him in my dreams too.... last pic in daylight... my hopes are up.

good lookin bucks there!! good luck!!!
