Show Team 2011
The Sept 2010 Black Ckl out on the grass.
We have posted the pics of some of our 2011 show team to give some perspective on how the birds look some 8 weeks out (May 10-15) from the National Orpington Club show ( at Queanbeyan NSW on July 9th).
I find it interesting how they look in a show pen as against free ranging in the Orchard area, under the watchful eye of Molly the Maremma, and you will see other pics of the same birds in the Gallery section like the one of the Sept 2010 Ckl here.
They are now being conditioned ready for the show.
Just prior to and at the show we hope to take a few more photos for comparison with how they look in mid May.
UPDATED 14 June. After loads of time just sitting an looking have now entered 10 Large Birds for The National. Quality over Quantity! Have changed some of the photos over to reflect the birds chosen.
UPDATED 20 June. Just started washing and prepping. Thought side by sides of the after and before might help? Boys are much happier being photoed than last month
UPDATED 12 July. Where applicable have put in the show photos with the earleir ones together with where the birds placed at the 2011 National. Phew was the competition hot in the Large Black Classes! Congrats to Ross Gibson and Denis and Jayne Stannard for an awesome team of birds!
