Since you mentioned Gayle's STUNNING birds, here's a pic of my splash cockerel that I hatched from her eggs. We were both so hoping for a boy...and it is! This is the first time I EVER wanted a chick to be a roo.

Now I'll have to come up with something else...

You have earned "infamous", Opa. Not to mention, cute, lively, witty, King of Smilies, mighty good cook, hunter of all things that move, Most Excellent Craftsman Carpenter, eater of all things that don't get away, dutiful and loving son, father to same, sharer of Butter Dips and friend to all. Ad nauseum, there's much more.

Pardon the intrusion, but it's Opa's fault. He sent me here to see his garden pics- and since he's been working on it a while, I ended up going back a week or so to start searching. Then I would see an interesting comment, and go even further back to see what that was about.

So, about 50 pages later, I have decided to lie and change my location to Waaaay South, MI!!!

ETA some a's to Way!

We have never been to the state dog show. This is only our second year in dog 4-H. My oldest is 10 and is the most active in 4-H--we will also be doing chickens and horse this year. My ds-8 and dd-6 are still cloverbuds and they like to mostly just play at the meetings. My dd showed her beagle last year and will probably show her again this year. If she would get focused on working with our aussie I think she would have alot of fun showing him, but he is a bit of a handful sometimes--he only 3.

my daughter shows a Jack Russel Terrier. I have offered her the use of my border collie, she tried her out, but she really likes her little Rizzo. We started when she was 12 and adopted the little the dog. Here is a link to their 4-H page. http://www.youngexplorers.net/Dogs/rizzo.htm

I have to say, that I think I have enjoyed it more than she has. hahaha. she has shown rabbits(did not like it) and pigs. she has liked that. So this year she is showing her dog and 2 pigs. and then whatever still exhibits she wants to. I can not for the life of me to get her to show my chickens. But I have a plan. I have a 3 month old grandson who is going to love chickens. I already got him his very own wheel barrow. lol.

What a nice website! We are trying dogs for the first time and pigs too! Chickens are a given

Wow---Rizzo rocks!!! That is so great, what all your daughter has accomplished with him. http://www.millingtoncanines.com/ is the link to our 4-H site----I think it's fun to see what is going on with other groups. You'll be able to see a pic of my dd and Betsy the beagle. I, too, think I love 4-H more than the kids do. Being a SAHM for over a decade I love getting out and socializing at the meetings. We've been blessed with a nice group of both parents and kids in both 4-H's (dog and horse) so I look forward to going to the meetings too!! I am glad you have a future little chicken wrangler all ready lined up for 4-H. Only 5 more years and he can start in cloverbuds

.

Another nice site!

I'm in Southwestern Michigan too! We live in Riverside about 20 miles south of South Haven. We are new to chickens. Bought them this Spring. We have 13 chickens and two ducks, a beagle, a dauchsand, a golden retriever and a cat! Look forward to chatting with all the fellow Michiganders!
