It is Chandra pronouced like Shandra the "a" makes a sound like the "a" in apple. Say it with a Colorado Cowgirl accent. LOL!
It is not pronounced Shawndra.....There is no Shawn in my name.
Hope that helps, It is really hard to show someone how a name is pronounced by typing it! Yeah and why don't you just ask me how it is pronounced!
If you learn one thing from me it is that I am very straight forward. People can ask me anything and I will tell them.

My husband and I are sitting here playing warcraft after doing chores. No super bowl for us. He couldn't even tell you who was playing.
I just saw on FB it is the Steelers, but I have no idea who the other team is. Jumping up and down screaming at the TV doesn't appeal to me. And I'll pass at all the boob commercials.
Oh and I can't stand the boob commercials either, but I do love the Budweiser commercials. I am totally in love with Clydesdales. I would have a whole herd of them if I had room. I go and hug them every time they come to our state fair.

Bad news
So, I've been wanting to show a hen ever since I got chickens. However, I have 4 Gold Sex Links and 2 Easter Eggers.
And the city limit is 6.
And even worse, the mom limit is 6.
So I might have to give away Aspen and Quinn so I can get some show chickens.

I would like to share some of my experiences with you of showing my chickens:
My first chickens were Cinnamon Queens. They were the most beautiful, wonderful chickens and I loved them. I got to my first 4-H poultry meeting and I was told that they were "Not a purebreed" and they could not be shown. That made me sad and I lost interest in my beautiful, wonderful Cinnamon Queens and I sold them.
Then I tried many different breeds and had mixed results. Buying expensive birds from breeders did not yield me show quality birds, I ended up with a bunch of expensive birds that died of some disease!
Then I found Ideal Poultry and ordered some Black Australorps. I won grand champion of our county fair and went on to get a grand champion at the state fair! I have pictures of a much younger me and the ribbons and trophies to prove it! Then at the state fair, someone took my Grand Champion pullet and replaced her with another ugly old Black Australorp! There is a picture of a very disgruntled 12-year-old me in front of the cage with my mom holding a trophy in front of me and me with a BIG frown on my face because my beloved 'Oscaretta' was gone!
Your 4 sex links are VERY pretty birds and your 2 little Easter Eggers are only going to get prettier and friendlier as time goes by! I would advise you to carefully consider the risks and stress of showing before you change birds. You know your hens are wonderful, why subject them to the judgment of others and possibly the risk of disease or theft at a poultry show.

Do you think that it's too hard for me to do? Or just not worth it?
