Reserve of Show at the Ventura County
Fair with one of my new babies!!
In January, I traveled up to the
2006 Poultry Nationals, with the aim of buying a few nice showmanship
hens. I ended up buying a quiet Silver Duckwing Old English
pullet and a
pair of Belgian Bearded d'Anvers. I had heard of (and
experienced)
some ferocious cocks, so imagine my surprise when the cockerel fell
asleep in my arms while I toted him around the sales room!
The cockerel (Louis
XIV, now a cock)has since proven to be an excellent showmanship bird,
and his son, Battre, also shows promise. The hens are very calm,
too. I use the cockerels for showmanship, but (so far) I
have no
mean birds, just skittery ones.
So far, Louis has placed first of all the d'Anver
cocks in every show I have entered him, and I also have high hopes
for Battre, who is even better-looking than his father.
THANK
YOU
for visiting, and please come again!
