LOL!!!

Yea I'm just messing with you Jim! Can you believe he made me 2 more over the weekend!

Chris

That is just great Chris. I'd say he likes his son just a little. He must really approve of what you are doing with these birds.
Oh, I know you are just messing with me and that is just fine. I love good humor. I want to see a picture when you put the logo on them. I know it will be something nice.

These females are classic examples of high production egg laying reds. They should put out about 250 eggs per year.

If you have some of these you can make a profit selling eggs at 3. a dz or more.

Could I get your permission to use this picture when I am teaching beginners about R I Reds. Great picture of a trio of this style of breed.
I tell people all the time Ideal Hatchery in Texas has the best strain maybe they came from there.

Now I am going to try to locate a Rhode Island Red to look at today to make my mouth water. Jimmy write a big BOB on the box I cant wait to play with these chicks a year from now. Crazy man I am How are the half and half pullets coming along any pictures of their young age?

Yesterday I looked at my last hatch of chicks and I have a Mohawk Bantam male with a nice five point comb. The voodoo curse must be off of me.

Feel better. Off IV antibiotic but god did it screw up my gut. bob

Here we go this is one of my favorite pictures from last year. Bobby Andersons outstanding male

Bobby if you are lurking where is the Dist Three Meet Rhode Island Red Club Meet being held in the South this year? bob

Bob, these pictures were taken the 29th of last month. These girls are just pretty nice. for 5 months ( I think.) I think what I am most amazed with is the color of the feet/legs on these girls. I was just talking to Matt a few evenings ago and was telling him that the feet/.legs on most of these birds are not yellow, thy are almost an orange color with the really dark horn all the way down to the toe nails. I know it will lighten as they mature but my goodness, right now they sure look pretty. The first picture was taken the 31st of last month. Look at the leg/feet color, really dark. That is true color also. The lighter looking pictures were taken with me facing the sun. Sorry, I don't claim to be a photographer. Just an old chicken farmer. lol

Rhonda Silva(show sec.) posted this on the La-yers thread:


The Gulf South Fall Classic is an American Poultry Association and American Bantam Association sanctioned double show (two shows in one day) being held at the Parker Coliseum at the LSU Ag Center in Baton Rouge on November 9th. We can accept up to 850 birds (all land and waterfowl...turkeys and geese only with owner cooping) for this show: We could take up to 2,000 since we have enough coops, but could only afford 4 judges this go-round.

Right now we have quite a few breed clubs holding club meets at the show: Rhode Island Red, New Hampshire, Cornish, Ameraucana, Buckeye, Orpington, Cochin, Plymouth Rock, Silkie Bantam, Old English, Modern Game, and Call Duck. If a person is a member of any of the clubs, or the A.P.A or A.B.A., they can earn points for their club toward becoming a master exhibitor by showing in a sanctioned meet.

Even if you aren't into showing birds, it may be fun just to come look. We already have people registering and bringing birds from Florida and Texas as well as Louisiana. My job is to keep track of registrations, print coop cards and exhibitor list, sheets for the judges to use, and fill out all the paperwork afterwards. Also, since we are a new club, I hired the judges, put together the show catalog, and other materials, and will do a floor plan for setting up the coops along with the show superintendents.

FYI

It also has it listed in the PP to be district and special meets for the RIR club an others
