    Best breed choice for 4-H?

    I found someone that had two silkies that she is going to give my daughter for her 4-H project. We are working on building them a small coop so they can be separated from our big girls. I don’t want them to pick on the Silkies.

    Best breed choice for 4-H?

    Thank you for your insight. I was in 4-H for years and loved it. I know my daughter will enjoy it too. She is a people person and loves animals so I think it would be a good fit for her. I will see what I can find locally for silkies, Cochins and bantams. I know there is a local breeder...

    Best breed choice for 4-H?

    Thanks for sharing your experiences. I was considering letting my daughter look at Silkies. They are absolutely adorable and if they are friendly and like to be held then my daughter would love them. If at all possible we want to avoid having roosters period. The one we have is just a pain...

    Best breed choice for 4-H?

    I am hoping to talk to the leader of the 4-H group that we are considering. We usually go to the fair here every year. My daughter loves looking at the animals. :)

    I agree that desire plays a big part in being invested in 4-H and showing. I showed goats. We started off with Nubian diary goats and those weren’t my thing but then I found Pygmy goats and loved them. It is good that you son knows what he wants. My daughter likes a little bit of...

    Thanks for sharing your experiences. I haven’t heard of McMurray so if we can’t find what we want locally then I will see if they have what we want. We have 2 Buff Orpingtons but they really aren’t keen on being touched or handled. They will come near me if I have food but won’t even eat out...

    Best breed choice for 4-H?

    Thanks for the information. I know there are some breeders locally for quite a few of the breed we were originally considering. I know that my daughter would probably want to do both showmanship and breed class as well. I don’t mind having chicks shipped if I have to but I prefer to find them...

    Thanks for the suggestion. They are CUTE! I know there is someone locally that has silkies so this may be a breed we look into. My daughter would love them I am sure because they are so cute & fluffy. It’s good t know that they are kid friendly. How do they do in mixed flocks? Is it...

    Best breed choice for 4-H?

    My daughter is 10 and is in love with our chickens. She would love to join a local 4-H group and have a couple of “show” chickens. My daughter loves our Easter Eggers and specifically one pullet who is gorgeous but I have told her that as much as she loves them they aren’t show birds because...
