Hi everybody!! I'm home from Fowlfest. It was AWESOME!!! I saw so many different breeds for birds (chickens, ducks and geese), ate really well and lots of tasty adult beverages! What a relaxing weekend. I am so proud of my Seramas. I wasn't planning on showing anything because with my hand I hadn't had a chance to work with them on the table & thought it would be too much carrying and lifting. But my friends Jenn & Laureen (my breeder) stepped up to the plate and helped me out. I bought 2 new birds from Laureen and her friends helped me & taught me how to groom them for show. But I wanted to take the birds I "raised" too just for experience. We gave them a quick once over at the show but the minute they hit the cage they looked "ready". Fuzz my cockerel was strutting and crowing & Peck my pullet was standing tall. At least I know I wouldn't be completely embarrassed. And then they hit the table and wow! Fuzz came on strong and full of personality like he had been doing it for years and Peck was shy at first but placed in the top 4 so she got to go to the final 4 for pullets. Thats when the magic happened. She took on the dominant hen role and stood perfectly straight with her chest out like she owned the table. Peck got Champion Pullet & Fuzz got Reserve Cockerel but then the judge asked to see Fuzz back and I wondered what happened. He went up against the top hen and Champion cockerel and won reserve Champion of Show of the ASA Nationals!

I learned so much from my new friends, different breeders and judges-so much great constructive criticism on owning, raising and breeding chickens. it gave me a whole new insight to my hobby that I am already so passionate about. My friend Jenn also had a great time and is going to get her kids involved in the junior division. Sorry that this post is so long but I consider my BYC friends my "fowl family" & wanted to share my excitement with all of you. Beware of new avatar pic coming soon!!!!! Thank you al for your friendship, support and knowledge-it means the world to me!!!!!

I have to wake my daughter up in a few to get ready to go to dentist to have 4 teeth pulled. She is super anxious and has already said she's not getting in the car.

Wish me luck!

I still think you can't. Once you get to know me, you lose that loving feeling. It's gone. Gone. Gone.
You too!
Don't make her sleep alone.

Inconceivable! You're nice, MC, and I'm not changing my mind.

I'm not. She's in a crate right next to my other dog right beside my bed
