Breeding / Proven reproducers

Question for those that have done this long enough. How long do you keep either a proven reproducer cock and hen around for before you “retire” them? Retire meaning they just end up living a chicken life if you free range em or whatever.

Exhibiting & Promoting / 2021 National Meet Show Book
« on: August 13, 2021, 11:33:11 PM »
Evening everyone,
 I wanted to get on here and say we are sorry about the tardiness of our show book. It will be out TOMORROW 8/14/21. On our Facebook page. We decided to do a first come first serve registration. Therefore wanted to let any ABC members know this now so you can send your forms in ASAP. Since it’s a National Meet I wanted to give the heads up so everyone that’s coming can hopefully get birds in the show. Hope to see you there!

Good Morning,
 We wanted to let those that are coming to our show this September to know about the lodging situation during our show. Unfortunately when we scheduled our show the University of Wyoming football team had not yet come out with their schedule. It just so happens that a home game will be on the day of the show. That being said we are not able to secure a block of rooms at a host hotel. We will leave it up to you to decide what and where you want to stay. There are plenty of hotels in Laramie but we would advise to book sooner rather than later. Most rooms are starting around $250 a night. There are two other options as well if you don’t want to pay that. First being Little America. This hotel is on the west side of Cheyenne, Wyoming. It’s a 43 minute drive from there to the Fairgrounds. 47 miles to be exact, phone number is 307-775-8400. We do believe their rooms are cheaper. Secondly for those who have camper trailers. You can stay at the Fairgrounds for $30 a day will electric and water there for you. Contact Albany County Fair Grounds at 307-742-3224 for any other questions or to book a spot. If you have any other questions feel free to reach out to us. We hope to see you all this fall!

Just wanted to share this with all of you. Thanks!

Thanks all to the replies. I’m more looking for what you all do. We have used the 3 bucket route for a few years now. Just wanted to get some extra tips or tricks that may help us. I will look at the links and ask questions as they come along. So again thanks!

We are getting ready for our County Fair here in a couple weeks. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for getting the best look and/or shine out of your birds for shows?  Thanks!

Thanks for the info both of you. You two aren’t far off from each other. Which is good to me. Lindsay- I’ll note what you said and you make some very valid points. Gordon has too.
Gordon- the closest breeder to me is in Texas. So I’m
Gonna have to have some shipped. That’s the issue with out where I am. Again thank for the tips, both of you.

We use pet carriers but thought maybe a box might be better for us. Thanks for the numbers! That’s something I can go off of.

Do any of you guys have the dimensions for the LF show boxes? Thinking of having a friend that does woodwork make some for us. Thanks!

These are chicks that we purchased. How long would you say it takes for the Wheaten/Blue Wheaten to finish out? What are your thoughts on purchasing a trio as well? Or would that be too much? Thank you for the advice and your time.

Gordon,
 Congrats on the success! That's great! With the birds we have now that I mentioned we did pretty well with so far at the shows. But that's before I saw the leakage. hahaha! So we shall see. I bought some Blue,Blacks, Wheatens and Blue Wheatens and hope to have some good products from those. I am excited about the challenge to breed and achieve a goal like you. Its funny you mention predators killing the cream of the crop. It seems like things whether it be predators or not seem to do that with all very good stock. Horses included! Some good horses have died on the ranch of some people we know by just a regular lightning strike. And I lost my best hound to a car hitting him. So its tough for sure. Good luck to ya this showing season! Hope to meet you down the road.

Gordon,
 I tend to do that. And what I will say is my expectation at the time was different then it is now. I just wanted some nice birds for my oldest to Show. Now that I have learned more my perspective has changed a little. Thank you for your advice. I will note it.
Penny, I think no matter where we are we can all learn something new from folks if we stay open to it. Thank you.
As for the SOP already got one and reading it.
