UnPaultry poultry at EPIC

I’ve owned chooks (mainly Australorps and Golden Sebright bantams) and they are not the brightest bulbs in God’s chandelier.

Having previously been the owner of a British Bulldog, I have stared complete stupidity in the face and made it my pet. I know stupid.

oh and poptop chooks are not as dumb as they seem, they know the hand that feeds them as they say

hi, all just thought i would mention for the person who said they always miss the show, that it always on the june long weekend. My daughter has blue/red,black/red and duckwing coloured aussie game bantams. Hi mum (qbn Gal). my daughter has practicly grown up at poultry shows and i have for atleast 14 years and it just shows how hard it is to finally get reserve champ waterfowl at a big poultry show

Ducks! We used to have Indian Runners and Khaki Campbells. Great with the snails, but they splurked everywhere (mind you teh peacocks are much worse in the landmine department but they eat spiders!). We had Langsheng bantams for a while too, until the fox got them one night (door was left open). They bred prolifically.

Bantams are great chooks, often quite amusing too. What colours are Game Bantams? She must be proud to have done so well, worth all that chook-washing!

Thank you poptop.

Any, my granddaughter who is 8 shows Australian Game Bantams. Of the 3 she exhibited she gained a 1st, 2 2nds and Champion. Her mother has been breeding and exhibiting ducks since I (foolishly) let her bring 2 ducklings home from the Canberra Show 14 years ago. She exhibits Pekins, Mallards and Cayugas and finally brought home Reserve Champion this year. I’m very proud of them both. It takes lots of work to get poultry to show standard.

Hi Qbn Gal, happy to send you the snaps of your granddaughter (I think there may have been a few – it was a dark chook and so there were some fails). I take the snaps on the highest setting my little Konica can manage and so each one is a bit more than a Mg, considerably bigger than what I upload to Photobucket or send into RiotACT.

If you can send your email address to poptop.2006[at]gmail.com and I’ll forward whatever I have from that set.

… ant sounds hungry…

mmm… chicken drummies…

What sort of chooks does she have, Qbn Gal? Any of those Indian ones with massive thick legs?

Poptop, thank you so much for the photos, they’re great especially as I see my granddaughter in one of them. She exhibits chooks. Any chance I can get a copy? I’ve tried copying from your website but it comes out blurry. She’s the one leaning onthe table watching the chookd being judged.

Don’t worry about the spellung, but please do post a notice about the chook show on its own thing.. I don’t usually check the weekend notices thing. Dunno why. For some reason I think it’s about rock bands and things. Not magnificent must-attend events like The Chook Show!
