Exhibiting, Promoting & Club Notes / Ft. Worth Stock Show
« Last post by Max Strawn on January 17, 2024, 03:18:16 PM »This past weekend, I was blessed with Reserve Large Fowl on the same cock bird from the previous show. Not the best pictures, but he is a nice bird with a good disposition.

« Last post by Max Strawn on January 17, 2024, 02:59:57 PM »I picked up 37 healthy chicks from Jim Laatsch this morning, including 14 more bantam Silvers, 10 Wheaten/Blue Wheaten, and 1 Brown Red. That gives me a good start to the season, and Bob Walchak will be getting a dozen or so to show at our national meet in Portage. I set 71 more eggs yesterday in my little Hovabator.
Nice! I'm hoping to have enough eggs for my first setting by February 1st.
Are you still working on that bantam black project?

Years of selective breeding. I have always maintained that Ameraucanas need to be productive, not just show birds. Or maybe I'm just lucky? I do have the lights on a timer, so they are getting about 14 hours of light each day.
