I do have a question for you - what breed is that precious tiny little boy with the ribbon in your avatar? What's the story behind the ribbon?

(Apologies if you covered this when I was awol earlier this fall...)

Edit to add: Sorry - only answer if it doesn't hurt too much to type!!!!

He's Fuzz-my silkie serama. He was given to me as a gift-my friend wanted to get out of silkies and gave him to me saying she thought he might turn out good for a "starter bird" for me. Well he just blossomed and I decided to take him to ASA Nationals and he decided he wanted to show off on the table. He took Reserve Champion of Show! He is such a good boy. I dont know if you are familiar with seramas but they have a whole separate competition other than cage. I will see if I can get a link and post it. I love it-it's like a talent competition for birds

The beginning of this is what they are looking for on tabletop. Different clubs do it different ways. I have only been to ASA shows so far. The judge in this video was our judge for nationals. he's tough but between him, another judge and my 2 breeders, I have learned quick! Focusing on breeding now-too much to handle with my hand in case the birds decide to fly off the table

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
I think I'll go eat worms!
Big fat juicy ones,
Eensie weensy squeensy ones,
See how they wiggle and squirm!
Down goes the first one, down goes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm!
Up comes the first one, up comes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm!
I bite off the heads, and suck out the juice,
And throw the skins away!
Nobody knows how fat I grow,
On worms three times a day!
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
I think I'll go eat worms!
Big fat juicy ones,
Eensie weensy squeensy ones,
See how they wiggle and squirm!

Mmmm..... Fried and breaded....

I'd feed it to the chickens, imagine how many chickens you could feed with a worm that big!
