Holm, good job at the fair, They judge on genetics at the fair, you have little control over that at your age. Behavior is based on time spent with the animal.
Gofeedthegirls. good pictures, When I first saw them I was going to revoke your membership in the redneck club. The last picture saved you.....I blew it up and saw junk! Then I went backwards through them. You are in!!! The extension cord helped but the red lawn mower with the gas can in the yard sealed it for you, Good job!
EJB, I may be an old chicken wrangler, but I am willing to try new modern ideas. Hence the cold bath for my hen. As a chicken wrangler I have decided to have regular Saturday night baths for all chickens. I am going to force them to stand in a straight line and jump in the bucket when it is there turn. I will use warmer water for them. I do not want them to get arthritis.
A clean bird is a happy bird. after all.
PS GFTG had the lawn tractor been green things may have turned out worse for you...
