Ok, Morning all! I have my coffee with yummy creamer!
My big guy wants to join 4H. I was told by several people that he can not join till he is 8-9... Boy does that make me so mad! WHY? Because I just went to the 4H website to make Jace happy, because he just KNEW that he could do it. And he was RIGHT! They let kids join at 5! They don't do competitive, but the do let the kids between 5-9 show their chickens, and have activities for them to join in at that age. SO what if he can not compete. He just wants to join, so why would you tell me that my kid couldn't join 4H when you are in 4H and you know D*&^ well that he can?!! Sheesh, start them young in 4H, and they will learn to have more respect for animals, learn more about farm animals... Good thing I am not a violent person... I'd knock them suckers out! I am going to chalk it up to theyre just worried that my Jace's silkie hen and roo would kick their chickens butt!
That said, I am thinking of putting big metal and screen butterflies all over the outside of my coop. Why? Only because I have them in the garage and they need to have something to do aside from sitting taking up space. SO its either recycle or decorate... I have an idea to paint a sun rise and flowers on the one side of the coop so that way there is something pretty to look at all year even in the snow months... SO, what type of paint? Only cuz I do not want it to affect the chickens breathing... I know, they are inside the coop, but I am one of the people that is paranoid that I might hurt my birds if I use the wrong material... SO waterbase or oil?
