Chicken People Page #2

other chickens too.

Some hold grudges

against other birds

and never forget how mean

another bird was.

And others are best friends.

- Not much of a crest

on him, though.

- He's looking

at that cockerel now.

- Wow.

- That's a nice bird.

- Nice crest.

Pretty good quills on that one.

- Yeah.

- Smells good.

This is the best silkie

of the day.

- He gave me four thumb.

- Well, that's not too bad.

- Congratulations, foley.

- Thank you very much.

I am over the moon.

- Oh, great, thanks.

- My black pullet was second

out of a class

of probably 40 birds.

I didn't come here to lose.

I came here to win,

just like the rest of us.

Hopefully next time,

it'll be a little bit better.

I'll be best of breed

and champion of show.

- How's the wings on her?

- She's actually

a little narrow-laced.

She could be, you know,

sharper and wider.

- But it--it's even.

- But look how even it is.

- Yeah.

- What makes me tick

is creating a bird

that nobody has.

This is the best silver-laced

wyandotte I've ever had.

This bird is the 5,494th

silver-laced wyandotte

that I've took

out of the Incubator

and put a wing band on.

And the light brahmas,

I'm up to 11,500.

I'm a hatch-oholic.

They call me that because

i hatch a lot of chicks.

Took me 15 generations

to get 5,494.

15 generations.

When I started

with silver-laced wyandottes,

they didn't even have tails.

They were bad.

The color was bad,

the heads were bad.

- The heads, I think

you've improved on the most.

- She needs a better head.

- Right in the front

of the comb here,

we've got just

a little indentation.

You see that?

- I see it.

- Okay.

- Okay, Lindsay,

she can go home.

- Okay.

- I thought this fella

was pretty well colored,

hackle and saddle.

I think their best two

are over here.

- Do you?

- Yep.

- The silver-laced wyandottes,

when I started with them,

they never won.

They never beat the whites

or the blacks, ever.

The color pattern

is so complex,

judges see the faults

in them very easily.

And, you know, there's a lot

of other good birds up there.

- Black wyandottes,

reserve of breed...

Silver-laced is best.

- Did he win?

- Yes.

- Wow.

- I won best of breed.

That's huge here.

Wow, that's really neat.

- Congratulations, buddy.

You're gonna

go all the way.

I'm telling you right now.

- Oh.

Did it.

Wow, I didn't expect that.

600 wyandottes,

and he's the best one.

Pretty cool.

I normally don't get like this,

but I am, so...

This is big.

A lot of work

to get to this point, so...

I've never won the show,

the whole thing.

This would be pretty serious,

if I won the whole thing.

- Reserve grand champion
