Ha Ha, I was going to tell you when I see you, but since you now know what a GOOD Wyandotte looks like ( and what a not very good one looks like too) if by some sort of magic of the universe brings a pair of Good Columbian Wyandottes to the Auction, I want you to raise your hand and not put it down until you are absolutely sure you got them. :)

Just a FYI .. the list we have for Auction is subject to change but the quality will remain, the number of lots will not grow. There will be a designated sale section ( as per our show catalog, open to any exhibitor to rent sales cages book early with entry on a first come first serve basis) ( must exhibit to be allowed to sell ,any one can buy) . There will be a range of birds available in this section and you must deal with the individual seller in this senario. We at OPB do not control the quality of the sales section but do inspect for health issues. We hope that many can come out and take part in this years show.

Columbians ...As good as I see are from people who have posted pictures on here... I am a big believer in bringing in another variety to make some thing you wish to improve the easiest route.. I can give guidance as I have done it many time s
with several breeds... White is not a far cry from columbian.. To me an easy fix with white .. it will take 2-3 years and some funky stuff will come out but ... the end result will be amazing .. just a thought
