Nice Columbian hen. I hope you let Fred talk you into showing her. It's rare to see varieties other than Barreds and Whites at the shows around here. Good for PR.

Those are some nice looking carcasses. Enjoy!

@ChickenPickin: You're girl's got an armful…lol Those BRs will win you over.

Took Fred's earlier advice and spent some time with the 11 week old chicks this morning to measure and compare. Picked out some obvious culls and favorites from this group to watch going forward. Happy to see improved wings on all as compared to last year. A change in cock this season really helped there. I was also looking to improve length of back will be culling for that.

I found doing overhead side-by-side comparisons most striking and thought I'd share a few pics for educational purposes and feedback:

I'm thinking on it....not sure I can compete with the Whites though

Doesn't matter. Bring her anyways. That's a good girl, besides it's about spreading the word. Maybe a white will win, but you'll get the pleasure of turning old-timers heads which in the end is pretty rewarding.
