Just looked over some prospects for nationals. I know a lot can happen from now until then. So long as no feathers get damaged or worse yet no one goes into molt. Consider this a warning I have some contenders in Black, Blue and splash Bantams. Also a nice silver bantam pullet and possibly Large Fowl. Jury is still out on a Large Fowl Cockerel and Large Fowl Blue pullet? The Black Bantam Cockerel may be the Best I ever hatched and could really put the pressure on all the Large Fowl. Just thought you all deserved a fair warning. 😃
Yeah well you seemed to have scared my prize Ameraucana. she's molting so bad now, I feel sorry for her. Of c Feathers are everywhere so I upped the protein level. Still f I doubt that will do anything at this point. I do think she is laying though and she does make the purtiest blue eggs...OTOH, the [now] juveniles I got from Harry Shaffer and John Blehm haven't lost a drop. Possibly Russ, there is a contender in that lot, so yes you've been served.
Brownie...
Lol don't mention the M word. That's my biggest fear at this point being he is out of the older grow out pen.
Well you could try air conditioning. When I bred labs, I remember one year for the Speciality, we get our top dogs in a/c'd quarters so they wouldn't blow their coat. When the show was over, I can still remember Ginger going to that room and sniffing all around for _cool air_. She was one spoiled girl. But she was beautiful.
