    Quote: Scary at times aren't they. I tell people their brains are like computers with massive storage, it's just sometimes they don't have the program installed to open and/or utilize the data properly. I had heard that about CA. Our fair grounds are some open sided buildings in the city...

    Quote: I would to do this. We went to a poultry showmanship clinic hosted in another county last year. It was wonderful!!! I had asked if we could do something similar and they were fine with it. Couldn't get our club leader to understand though, so we didn't get to offer it. I can get...

    Poultry 4H meeting ideas / leader & parent discussion thread

    We're actually rural here, but somewhere along the way part of the populace decided they wanted to appear to be more "cosmopolitan." It's dontcha know?

    Our local competition is mostly whatever they had at the feedstore for chick days. I thought the judge was just a volunteer. I was shocked to hear he actually gets paid. He's the same judge for both our little local fairs. At the first he marked down what he thought was wrong with the kids'...

    Quote: You would think so wouldn't you, but no. They mostly got reds and the judge even said he would have DQed some of them if not for the fact there were so few entries. That's what happens when the judge doesn't know anything about poultry. Showmanship was even worse. He didn't even...

    Wow! That sounds great! IDK, the saddest thing I think is that our county fair is awful in regards to poultry. My kids don't want to show there as they feel it's wasting their time, which sadly has been true so far. I'm just torn. I think they should because I'm the clubs poultry leader...

    I got asked to be our clubs poultry leader this year. So far I don't think that any signed up for poultry other than my own. In the 3 yrs prior that we've done poultry, we've not had a single poultry meeting. I don't know if there even was a leader those years.
