Ok Cheers Andy

Don’t forget your entries for this weeks show. Young Hens. Email me your entries by Friday 7pm

Would there be a chance of an eye & wing photo ,as looks are only skin deep ,lol cheers

i would have thought you needed to handle the bird in order to judge the wing

No mate ,all I need is a spread wing held 90 degrees to the body ,yes to get a true indication of bird body ,keel back I would agree must handle ,as I said beauty is skin deep ,so I’ll do my best ,may be in future ,have a race section for birds that have raced ,then a beauty section ,also cocks & hens of the same colour ,,just a suggestion ,cheers

Some good ideas Killer. Something to think about for future shows. It would make things interesting. Are you suggesting with the cock and hen of the same colour as a matched pair? I like the idea of raced and unraced classes but this would rule out a couple of our members who don’t race.
The biggest problem I could see with having photos of the wing & eye is that you need a second person to either hold the bird or take the photo. Although could be worth thinking about in the future.

Surly they have birds they have purchased that as race ,match pairs is a great idea ,prefer hen & cock class same colour ,hard to pick birds of mixed colours ,I may like Reds etc & give it to west bird ,just a thought, cheers

I understand what you mean now Killer. A class of all blues, cocks and hens, a class of blue chequers cocks and hens etc. sounds good.
