Thanks, Mike. Gizmo is a pretty nice bird. The tail angle does need a little improvement and is something I'm working on. Daddy has great tail, great body shape, and great color, but is small in overall size with not so good comb. Momma has great size, great feather quality, great personality and comb, but low tails in quite a few offspring. I'm still mixing this and that together and adding things into my recipe. I'm pretty happy with what's been coming out of the oven, but I'm not to, "SaWeeet!!!" just yet.
The judge for the cockerels at the fair this year was Bryan Crapo. I don't know much about him other than he was good with the kids and explained a lot of things to them, and that he was a former Medina County Fair judge back several years ago. The past two years have been mid 90s all week and miserable. This year the weather has been in the mid 70s all week. I kind of wish we would have taken birds this year. At least I got to see some of my birds show anyway. Maybe next year.
