Chicken boarders

[joza2210]

Hello ,

Well i have made my mind up on the birds i am taking to the show and i would like to ask your opinion of them ... again

 

Many thanks

Josh

 

My Appenzeller :

 

 

 

 

(Bare in mind the show is at the end of may so her tail will grow good because she is only quite young)

 

My Frizzle pekin (I have been watching her closely and when she stands in a relaxed position she has the tilt)

 

 

 

And My Orpington Bantam :

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks A Million

Appenzeller I wouldn't take as she doesn't have many spots and isn't the best of quality compared to the breed standard.

 

Frizzle looks good

 

Orp hen looks good too

[joza2210]

Thanks tom ( I just thought because the show only has around 400 entries and she is quite rare she would do good but oh well )

 

What do you think of my mille fleur pekin then ?

 

 

 

 

(She is still quite young yet so ...)

[Space Chick]

I agree that your Appenzeller would need more spots, but they are all beautiful in my untrained eyes

[joza2210]

Thanks space chick ...

Do you think she will get more spots as she gets older as when i bought my mottled pekin it only had a bit of white on it and now he is nearly half white !

 

Thanks

[Space Chick]

I honestly don't know, my Appenzeller has always been quite spotty

[joza2210]

Your Appenzeller is just to amazing !

[Redwing]

The Appenzeller is not well marked at all as already said, are there black areas on her? I can see some shadoes but also at least one area of black feathers I think???? thats not good if so

 

Frizzle Pekin looks good

 

Orp also looks good but if her sister was shown and not her that might indicate that she isnt high show quality but she would certainly pick up prizes at local shows I would imagine

 

The Millefleur is too immature looking but come May she might be ok, I havent seen any Millefleurs at shows so not sure if they are a standard colour, Tom will probably know

[Daphne]

The pekin isn't fully grown yet so I wouldn't be in a hurry to enter her. Sometimes there are pullet/juvenile classes but even so, she's not the finished article yet.

 

The orp looks quite good in the first photo but she doesn't look quite as broad across the chest as some (maybe she's still growing??) and its a bit hard to judge how good her underfluff is. Why don't you enter her, then you'll get some feedback on the day about her good points and anything which you need to work on. Its notoriously difficult to judge a bird from a photo - there's no substitute for the real thing!

Millefleur Pekin's base colour is too dark, needs to be closer to buff than red and as stated is too young.
