I'd rather you dabbled in magic!!!!

oh and tax return all 6,424 of it retained by feds to pay back old student loan. yay.
And I would kill for some sweet grease right now. Too broke to afford oreos
Did get the electric paid so no living in the dark for at least a couple more weeks.
g, I lurves you! And I've been to Winnebago - the town, not the camper - Yous a bit north up there by the lake.......don't know if that would be so bad, think the horses might take up too much of your living room though.....unless we keep them in the garage?

here too, I just about died! 1990 dodge sucks A LOT of gas.
I have a full incubator of eggs. Orps, FBCM, serama crosses and some of those funny feathery things Wegots likes......I'm hatching on the DL for a friend so her hubby won't blow a gasket. tee hee.
Ok so here's my big idea....I'm thinking of showing a couple of the orps this year. I have a really nice splash growing out and I have a black that I really think looks the part. So how does one "show" chickens eggactly? tee hee (I am giddy from lack of sleep) Anywho, so what do I need to know,do, have, etc? Do I actually bathe the birds? Does this mean I need a blow dryer? OMG! I've shown horses and dogs, but never chickens.......

Showing is easy. I don't bathe mine, although I've had to wash feet since it's winter time. In the summer I just let them run around in the dew-soaked grass to wipe their little tootsies clean....
You basically wipe off the dirt, make their combs and wattles look brilliant (I didn't used to do this but will after helping an old-timer rub Vet RX on their combs), and if you aren't NPIP then you have to have them tested as they go into the show. This usually doesn't cost anything (20 shows, only paid once).
Entering does cost a nominal fee ($2-$4 a bird, depending on the show) and usually an extra $1 for 'clean-up'.
Yours are standard birds. Go to the APA site and look up shows. Find a future show in your area and send off for info (e-mail usually. Some have web sites. Some you have to call). Make sure you submit your entry before the deadline
The night before the show you can coop-in your birds, or wait until the morning of the show. If you wait and need your birds tested, get there EARLY. There';s usually a desk where you check in. Ask them where the birds are being tested. Often there's a little old man or woman nearby smiling friendly; ask them for help. They'll help until you wish they'd go away. I've never been to a shoiw that didn't have some eager beaver ready to help a n00b.
When the birds are tested you just pull them from the cage and hold them steady as the dude/kid stabs under a wing to get a drop of blood. After they're done testing all your show birds they will give you a copy of the test records. It's good for 90 days SO DON'T LOSE IT! It saves you time on the next show.
After testing, find your cage. This is another time when looking for the eager beaver can make life easier.
TMI? You did ask.....

BTW, I came here to say that Beaner has a new toy and may be able to dance among us during the work day in the very near future.
It depends on her mad droid skilz, or lack thereof.
Sounds like the new phone has more bells and whistles on it than NASA has on the Space Shuttle....

Batty, the APA site sucks.
The ABA site has a lot of shows listed and they are usually bantam and standard shows:
http://www.bantamclub.com/site/index.php?option=com_eventlist&view=eventlist&Itemid=77
I saw one by the Green River Poultry Association for 4/16/11 in KY....
And I know there's supposed to be a show in Selbyville in May. Need to check and see if it's standard as well as bantam.
