agreed! look at the fair book from this year and make note of the classes... if they say under 6 months have your birds 5 months and 29 days old and they should do really good. Also, watch how you feed and water them. Don't let them go without good quality food and fresh water. Corn and scratch...

Quote: I volunteer at the Buchanan county fair and we are working with the few families we get to run a poultry show. You can't force change, and you have to work with what you got, thus it is a show of pullets and hens in egg laying classes and a few pet fancy birds. The folks here still see...

Quote: as it should be -- a separate category to TEACH what you need to be a breeder. All other categories are about production poultry and to have birds from production stock (inexpensive and readily available) should suffice, including birds with the wrong feather colors btw -the original...

had a heat related casualty this afternoon. the really sweet and beautiful maran crossed hen passed away I checked everyone else out and no other stressed birds. I think she overheated hiding from the young roosters that were penned up with her. The roosters are now out in the yard - hopefully...

sorry to hear about your loss, those were some nice birds. wait until next year and accidentally order ducks with your chicks

update on the kitten -- its fine. I kept it in the bathroom separated from the others and checked on it hourly. It slept most of the day Sunday and in the evening it started to act normal. Monday morning it was a little terrorist - pouncing on everything that moved and things that didn't. It...

need help with a favorite kitten. this stupid kitten hid in the wheel well of my car and I found it a few miles up the road. It is walking, eating and using the litter box but it is bleeding from its butt. Right now it is resting on a towel on the couch. What should I do for it -- right now...

wow - some folks have all the nerve, asking for the poultry project birds to be raised up and given to them. why don't these folks just go to the trophy shop and buy a trophy and skip the learning parts. on a happy stupid turkey story note young turkey poults who spent time on newspaper in a...

the first swap of the year at walker is tomorrow right? I hope so, I need to get rid of my rabbits - found another nest of 7 this afternoon as I was cleaning the pen. This colony set up is great if I had a use for all the baby bunnies, but it bites big time for just keeping a few pets. I'll be...

oopsy duplicate post when trying to correct spelling errors

its awesome you are getting a poultry program up and running. Along with birds, look into an egg judging component too. There is information online for the egg contest and it would be an easy thing to get everyone involved and hooked on the benefit of a few birds in the yard. As far as having...

when I did 4-H presentations, I found the birds did better if they weren't washed before hand. They were more social with the kids and calm in their cages. Its a great idea to show them how to wash the birds - a lot of the kids I worked with were afraid to scrub the legs and vent area. The wings...

Quote: awesome!! fingers crossed for you

Quote: hi neighbor!! I am up the road a mile or so off the Brandon black top, kinda inbetween La Porte City, Jesup and Brandon.... our place is about 7-8 miles from each of those towns definitely sounds like a real petting zoo around your place - luv it!

my Easter eggs, the dark brown one is from the birds I got from pbjmaker -- thanks again, they are wonderful birds

Quote: oh shoot - I could have given you a sweet trio of birchen cochins for your troubles getting those birds to me... I wish I knew you were looking for things. Boone sounds like fun

I didn't get anything from the swap but did finally paid for and picked up pbjmaker's awesome maran crosses she was holding for me...and Dolly a frizzled show girl cross who is the absolutely sweetest little gal. there were a ton of pheasants, pigeons and goats there today along with over...

I'm confused - Waverly is TOMORROW/Sunday morning? I haven't missed it ... yet.

sorry - I don't have any ee pullets to sell. I have some birchen cochin -ee roosters aka pita roos that need to find new homes, I'd even rename them stew, soupy, and din din before giving them away
