What type of scale do yall use to measure your birds? I'd like to have a digital one. Do you use just a digital fish scale? It would be nice to have a measuring tape on it also to measure the beard an spurs.
I use a fish scale.
I got mine on eBay. Type in "portable digital scale".

Lie Detector would be a good name for digital scales. :)
This one works fine and you can't beat the price.

My birds are so big I usually have to drive the truck on the scales at the Co-op and than put the bird in the back and drive back on :-\
The scale I use was ordered from the NWTF site and has the built in tape. To be used for scoring a turkey.

Thats what I do when my 50lb scales bottom out. The rest of the time I use my normark.

I see you have caught on to the HS Strut Beard Builder supplement as well.. Good stuff
I GOT THE ONE FROM THE NWTF. IT HAS A TAPE MEASURE AND CALCULATES YOUR SCORE FOR YOU.

A Rapala fish scale very accurate I've checked it against a State certified scale and its money even after 4 years.
I use a meat scale and can't remember the name brand but it's a good one.
