Here some old pictures of some very nice bird



Surrounded by a sea of cameras this Rhode Island Red posed regally with his winning ribbons at the poultry show held on November 30, 1939 after being declared the Grand Champion of All Breeds. The 45th annual show, sponsored by the Tacoma Poultry Association and the Rhode Island Red Club of America, was primarily for the Rhode Island Reds, although other breeds were also shown. As winner of the club's national show, the 9 month old cockerel was considered the finest of the breed in all of the US and Canada. The winning fowl's owner, Mrs. Charles F. Cummings of La Canada, California, was not present when the Grand Champion was announced; not expecting to win, she had gone shopping. (T. Times 12/1/1939, pg. 5; 11/27/1939, pg. 5)

Good for you. Avoid RonB (

) he will try to talk ya into them old nasty white eggs.

For what it's worth (lots when I say it

) If you aren't looking for BIG eggs you may want to give a look at the RIR Bantams. They are very friendly, lay a nice size egg for a small bird and don't eat near as much as full size birds.

FYI for all ordering feed from Patriot. He has had to raise his prices a bit to cover the increased cost of the grains. To me I just see it as a sign of the times. I will still be getting my feed from Patriot because I think it is still the best deal for "clean" feed, short of paying the big $$ and going organic.
