Hi, I'm Gabby's Dad. She's been talking about chicks for months, but we can't have chickens where we live in CA. We home-school and I decided this semester to make chickens her "major". We have a book coming in the mail called "Your Chickens: A Kid's Guide to Raising and Showing" and I'd like to get her involved on this forum learning from all of you. Thanks for your help and patience!

 

Gabby: I have a lot of questions and I can't wait to ask them!

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

Hello and Welcome,

Do you have a 4-H club near you? Check the rules and ask 4-H'ers on here. But you might be able to have project show chickens. Look for a local feed store and ask about it.

You will find lots of help on BYC.smile.png
