@Uncle Turk I just noticed your post while poking around on the Missouri thread. Just popped in to say I'm just west of Mexico!

hi erinnlynn, welcome to the thread. I am so far behind I may not catch up. No notifications for last 15 pages or so. Hope all are well! Poplar Bluff area here (SE MO).
Hi. Does anyone have kids in 4H poultry? Anyone going to the Missouri Extension Poultry day at MU? We are going to submit a couple dozen eggs for judging. I have some idea of what they're looking for, but I still have so many questions! Last year at our county fair, they just asked my daughter what kind of eggs are these? -then gave her a blue ribbon. We learned nothing about what they were looking for! I've read you want to submit eggs from the same hen, try to get same color, same shape, no weird calcium spots, or odd shaping on egg, etc., but I wonder with speckled eggs, do they not like those because commercial egg companies won't have those? Do they not like it if speckling varies greatly? Also do they count off if the hen is a mixed breed -do they want purebred eggs? I've asked the contact for the poultry day this year. She just copied and pasted the general description from the website and sent me that!hello, just wondering who comes from missouri:
We are the 4H poultry leader for our kids since there was no group leader this year. Thanks for any tips you may have!from the state fair city and just starting with chickens had exotic pets and pet store for 10 years raised mccaws and parrots but chickens boy they sure have personalities early when you incubate them they really get to know your voice and sounds of your home sweet homewonder if any one else from missiouri will stop by?

I didn’t know what these mushrooms were, one appeared the previous day—all slimy with flies buzzing around it. I had to look it up, thus learning about stinkhorn mushrooms. They put out a stink that attracts the flies. They need the flies to distribute their spores.
