Jean, he looks fantastic.

ETA: How big is he???

I haven't weighed him for a few weeks, I'll probably do that when he goes in with the black girls.

I thought about bringing him to Stockton, but I think we would end up renaming him Houdini. Cause I don't think he would be there long without 24 hour surveillance.

Jean,
That was a very wise decision as you are very familar with the possible scenerio.​

Love all the pics . Richard so happy about your cuckoos. Well done.

I am going to post a pic as soon as I can of Black Cockerel who took Champion English at the Lake City, Fl show. There were 24 LF Orps shown. Sorry I didn't count all the Sussex, and Cornish. Some really nice Orpingtons shown. Darlene Hobbs won the Champion English as Trisha was sharing. I managed to pull off Reserve Champion English with a younger black cockerel and so I feel like I won twice. I was so happy for Darlene. I carried all my spare cockerels and they sold so quick. I had actually sold the one that won RS before they wre judged. I think his new owner was happy. I could have shown any one of the ones I sold.
I am so happy that so many people are trying to breed these Orps.

Trisha you have done a fine job breeding. Darlene showed two black males she got from you and both were great looking.

I saw a black bantam cockerel that I was very impressed with. I will get back a little later with the pics.

He's looking good.

Is this the same split boy you posted a photo of awhile back? He seems to have filled out nicely if so.

Yea it is, the hen doesnt like gettin her pic taken, shes really lazy lol

Well I like him! How are those new Blue girls you recently got doing?

Did you make a decision on using them with your split boy?

I would only take him if you were able to keep him on a leash!

Well, I could chicken sit him for you that weekend... I'm sure my girls would looove a hunk like him.

Julie,
Your picture looks good to me and congratulations on RV win plus helping so many people acquire some quality birds.

Oh Julie, thank you soo much, means a lot coming from you. The picture is great and he is looking really awesome.

I am soo over joyed for Darlene, 24 orps is something to write home about. Congrats on your reserve win, you have done just an amazing job for those of us who love our orps and love to show. Thank you so much for sharing Julie.

Can't wait to see you at Newnan, not sure any of my LF will be in condition to show but will have a great time just the same.

ps- now if my girls would just cooperate and start laying I would love to start hatching some show prospects for this fall/winters show schedule.
