Oh, that is what I am afraid of with my big sweet EE roo. He is so sweet, I call him baby Huey and he hardly crows at all. I may sell him in Westford with 2 pullets the same age that should start to lay soon unless I can integrate the 3 of them with the free range flock, but I am afraid they would take off on me.

i love this big, sweet boy too! but he is just too ready to chase any girl running by him, even though he is not as big as the EE x Cochin boy (which i still have

) he can still be too much on them! i figure i can work on improving the faverolles' egg color while getting that cuckoo coloring into them at the same time. i was just hoping he was going to be a bantam size and not as big as a standard! he's at least double a bantam size but certainly smaller than 6-7lbs! all my birds are running together so he's going to be damaging a lot of small girls if i can't distract his attention with a larger girl soon! and i would hate to have to pen him by himself!

Well I sure am in the "show spirit" now! I just finished washing my two girls, and have them each separated and got there nails and beaks trimmed

Tomorrow is show set up so that will be my whole Saturday and Sunday will be the show and then unsetting afterward

you know something, i am a complete idiot!!!!

i'm not realizing i have been asking for LF birds that a show is for bantams!

i think when i died my blond hair red, i really didn't improve my IQ!!! (at least the common sense and reading IQ!)

eta: i still plan on going though!

Hello Chickie Moma,
There is both large fowl and bantams shown and in the sell area

The name can be deceiving

Chickie'sMoma :

does anyone know if there will be any lf faverolles or cuckoo marans at this? my cuckoo fav x marans project boy has grown to be larger than my bantam girls can handle and i need to find him a girl that can tolerate his hefty weight.!

i'm afraid he may have hurt one of my favorite fav hens in his attempts this week.

Dick is the only one even close with LF favs and he won't be showing this day. I also know he lost most of his breeder hens to a coon so he has no extra girls to let go. I don't have any extras either. I hatched 10 and I'm down to 4. I need all of them for breeding next season. I may have some next summer but that won't help you now.​

I hope you can find someone to travel to the show with. Is he nervous because of the weather?? You came to Oxford alone right?? Get a mannekin and put it in the from seat dressed up and tell him it is your new friend!
