[fowlman01]

But my seminar includes me watching you clean my coops, mow my yard and ...

I mean it includes hands on experience for the newbie!

Where do I sign up?

If the student wishes to pay for transportation and all expenses, my wife and I would be happy to hold the seminar in Hawaii! That would be a 30 minute seminar each day for 7 days!

It should be noted that the Jim that Walt is speaking of is a licensed judge. I am not. Thus the discounted price.

Jim was offering to "certify" flocks as Heritage for a brief time and the APA had to get on him about that.

His website still says flocks will be certified by the Center for Poultry. I thought maybe this was the way to get actually certified. I've seen that the chicken that Frank Reese Jr. sells is labeled with an APA seal on the label. That says genetics approved by an APA judge.

I'm sure glad that Walt doesn't charge that much because I honestly don't have that much money. Maybe I would if I raised some of those popular new fangled chickens.

I will check out his web page. He is not supposed to be doing that. I am aware of Franks certification and that is correct. The APA will certify flocks sometime in the future, they are working on it. Not every judge will be able to do that however. Jim is very good at what he does and his seminars are good, but the APA does not sanction in any way anything Jim is doing. This is all his own private enterprise.

I'm not in chickens for the money, I think anyone with the knowledge and skills should give that out free..

If you really want to learn about poultry, save your money and spend $3,776 each semester at http://poultryscience.uark.edu/ The UA staff were at Crossroads and Shawnee recruiting students. They have said they are planning on attending Lucasville, OH if possible.

Hey BOB COULDNT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT U .You can use him im breeding to five of the females i think that looks and feels the best of the eight that was raised. then when your ready for him let me know what did u think bout the other male use him or not. oh by the way that picture of rocks u just posted thats what im shootin for

Unless he perks up he looks scared to death could be he is scared being in the round cage. I would have to let them walk on grass relaxed and then make up my mine. You could mate him to one or two females later in the season or save him next season. Also, you could get one of the extra males that we have down here and mate them in a year or two or get one out of Canada in two years from my super star up there. You only need to mate from two or three really good females and in one season you could hatch over 60 to 80 chicks. Raising over that with five females may just get you so so chicks. If you can farm them out to some one that would be fine then come back and get one or two for breeders. I like small matings quality over quantity has always been my thinking. It st oped raining here I may take the camera out and take a picture or two.

In regards to my fees they are reduced by 1/4 as I take the Gray Hound Bus not a airplane. I cant stand those nuts at the airports thinking I am a teariest. They always want to search me, nuns and children but the guys who look like the teariest from over younder they let go in with out checking them. I guess they don't want to offend them.

I don't need the male I like right now in a year or two.

Well got to feed Mr. Silkie and the other roos out there.....

I'm down for that. Four grand is not what it used to be..just noticed that is for each semester. Maybe I should start a side business. I'm teaching one class at the local JC for nothing. I guess I don't have this right.

****-I've been helping people get started, including farm visits, for years & for free ! In fairness though, I don't give out membership cards, that's worth something.

We will start issuing membership cards to our workshops. $500 each. We will issue the first membership card and schedule the workshop as soon as someone sends us the $500.

Our first seminar will be on how to keep your chickens from escaping and a bonus, how to make Mrs. Tweedy's Chicken Pot Pie! Included at no extra charge will be the viewing of this simple how-to video.

​

The seminar will also include a a hands on demonstration on how to build coops, clean coops and dig ditches. Students should bring their own shovels since this will be an interactive seminar. Cool lemonade and a picnic lunch is also required. Bring enough for the lecturer. We will also demonstrate how to mow and bag grass for your coops. Students should bring their own gloves and rubber boots as well. Hammers, screw drivers, nails and screws are available for a small additional fee.

Free cool water will be provided. Cups are only $1.00 each. (non reusable one time use).

Or you can attend the Incubation Seminar free at https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/656836/january-incubation-seminar-meetup-video

I have so enjoyed this Fancy! Poultry shows really can be a fun place!

At the El Dorado, Arkansas show a couple of years back, my wife asked what breed of chickens these were. I waited until this tall man in boots and Stetson hat walked over, then said, "Devil chickens!"

Forrest Beauford was speachless for several moments!

Finally he got the words, "They're Le Fletche", out of his mouth!

He knew I knew what they were!

I did not always agree with him, but sure did like him.
