The Plymouth Rock Breeders thread

[racertomtom]

What do you mean by "current APA show politics"?

Matt

It was a phrase used instead of writing a book that doesn’t belong in a breeders thread, and possibly a poor choice of words.

Everyone got their APA newsletter yesterday from Pat, didn't they? hahahaha
A book indeed, and agreed it's all too much for the narrow focus of this thread and most of it's audience.

Yes, that has happened to me, too. You have to be extra careful not to leave any of the piece of skin that was punched out and even if you do, sometimes they still grow back.

I check all my toe punches at one week and repunch any that are trying to grow back. Sometimes I can't get the little peice of skin off when I do them the first time. So far none have grown back after the second punch

I am really enjoying this thread!!! This is Miss Chicken!! She is not purebred she is just a pet. She is as sweet as they come tho!! I currently have a Jersey Giant project going and after being a part of this thread want to begin a purebred Barred Rock project as well!!!

Was looking at the new WR cockerel, Weaver, today as he was standing in the sun and noted something shining and glistening on his saddle feathers. Thought to myself, "What in the world did he get into?" as I walked a little closer....then I realized it's his feathers that are glistening in the sun!

I've never seen a white cock bird SHINE before. Didn't even know it was possible. It's almost as if he is luminescent and glows from within, truly!

I've suddenly realized that I have entered a whole other realm of poultry.... after all these years I've now got a white bird in my flock that gleams and sparkles in the sun. I'm remembering scenes from Twilight and scratching my head.... Edward?

I'm finding that out! I sure wish Bob was here so I could tell him I finally stepped up into real poultry.

You'll have to tell Walt. He'd be really happy for you.

And yes. Yes I wish he was here too.
