Maybe I am late to the party, but I didn't see where anyone had posted this yet. It seems the whole new kids on farm rules have been revoked.

Labor Department statement on withdrawal of proposed rule dealing with children who work in agricultural vocations​

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Labor today issued the following statement regarding the withdrawal of a proposed rule dealing with children who work in agricultural vocations:
"The Obama administration is firmly committed to promoting family farmers and respecting the rural way of life, especially the role that parents and other family members play in passing those traditions down through the generations. The Obama administration is also deeply committed to listening and responding to what Americans across the country have to say about proposed rules and regulations.
"As a result, the Department of Labor is announcing today the withdrawal of the proposed rule dealing with children under the age of 16 who work in agricultural vocations.
"The decision to withdraw this rule — including provisions to define the 'parental exemption' — was made in response to thousands of comments expressing concerns about the effect of the proposed rules on small family-owned farms. To be clear, this regulation will not be pursued for the duration of the Obama administration.
"Instead, the Departments of Labor and Agriculture will work with rural stakeholders — such as the American Farm Bureau Federation, the National Farmers Union, the Future Farmers of America, and 4-H — to develop an educational program to reduce accidents to young workers and promote safer agricultural working practices."

Those chicks are insanely cute to me but then again I've been told I'm strange.


It sounds like the chicks are perking up, b737.

In that case, it seems to me they ran out of gas before reaching their destination.

Isn't this supposed to be your busy season or something?

Can't believe the government listened for once.

Would note however that it was soooo politically incorrect to blame them on the Obama Admin, but they sure are taking credit for the withdrawal. Gotta love election year politics.

Soon, soon. You can't get rid of me that easy.

They're ugly. LOL!

Seems to me like if Raz had all naked neck Uggos when he goes to court they would have a hard time proving that he is raising chickens.

That's a good point.

There is nothing wrong with your set, do not adjust the dials.
This is only a test of the emergency Uggo system, this is only a test.. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
You may resume your regularly broaded cast schedule.​

Is that because there are so many women on this forum?

Hi Everyone,
It's nice out today so I took some pics of the chics and their tractor. I just have to put a few decorative finishing touches on it.....being a sign, a latch for the door lever to keep it open & a molding around the front window. Right now I'm just using a clamp to keep the walkout door open. I also would like you guys to give me your opinions if you don't mind on Ms. Shelby. She acts like very much like a Roo and her comb is much larger than the others girls. Sorry about the picture over load....I sorta got carried away.

This is Petey.....


This is Squirt hanging out with Petey....Squirt is buds with everybody...she likes to snuggle.


This is Lil Blu and Ms. Shelby the one who acts like a Roo....has me wondering.


Here is a close up of her comb. I'll try to get a better pic later.....head & body.


My Isa Gerty checking out the additions ....She paced all around the tractor inspecting them!


Their tractor.....the back has 2 doors, upper & lower with the upper door having a window.

WOOT WOOT! On dropping it! And yup... He really needs to look good in the election year. Like, the pipe line... He's vetoed the integral part of it, but takes credit for the part that is "WORKING"... Nothing like "Showmanship"...
