Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[ChickAudie]

Hey guys does anyone know anything about joining 4H? My daughter wants to show pygmy goats. Shes 9. I am not sure we are going to be able to get one yet or not BUT I wanted to look into it. I wanted to know about the cost involved and if the animals show have to be registered or what rules or whatnot are involved...

Hey KMoran!
I just asked about this the other day, if you are in Pierce County, here is some information, and I bet they can be helpful in finding people in your area

to me

I'll make this a three-parter.

1) Information about Pierce County 4-H and how to find a club open to new members.

We appreciate your interest in Pierce County 4-H and hope you can find a club that will meet your needs.

For more information about Pierce County 4-H you can go to http://county.wsu.edu/pierce/youth/Pages/default.aspx; the menu on the left will give you additional information.

To look for a club that might meet your needs, please go to http://county.wsu.edu/pierce/youth/Pages/HowtoJoin.aspx and take a look at our list of clubs that are open to new members. Hopefully, you will find a club or two that will offer projects that you are interested in and be in your preferred geographic area.

Because clubs operate independently, we encourage you to talk to leaders and ask questions that will help you decide if you and they will be a good match.

If you have any problem locating such a club, we can talk about perhaps initially starting your own family or community club – in which case, we’d try to identify a mentor for you if you want help getting started.

2) To find out what materials we have for poultry projects to go: http://extension.wsu.edu/4h/publications/animalscience/pages/project.aspx?PID=GBC

3) If you don't find what you are looking for by going to the Open Club list, I have listed below some 4-H leaders that may be able to advise you on poultry projects and answer specific questions you have about your birds.

Sorry MikeyB, I can't look at giant animals that could EAT ME!!! I duck n hide at River Monsters!!

 

[RainMom]

okie dokie, where's those seasoned veterans of incubator hatching?

So, I've got 3 chicks, healthy, happy and being very silly. There's no more pips to be seen, not even one. Out of 13 eggs from the breeder, one hatched and the other 12 are not wiggling, not pipped, nada, nothing. (I know my inCOOLbator is nto the problem, because I've got 3 healthy chicks here- 2 of my own EE's and 1 silver leghorn from the breeder. )

How long would you wait before moving the hatchlings to the brooder and giving up on the remaining eggs?

 

[ChickAudie]

RainMom, how are those eggie-huevos coming along???

 

[LaughingFeather]

Hubby is telling me I can't take my Chickens to California without some kind of vet cert and permit. Have you guys ever taken birds into CA.?

 

[ChickAudie]

Oh, Well I would wait 3-5 days after the 21st for the little ones that could. And I wouldn't push nature, she does what she does

 

[RainMom]

I think this is the link.

wow, that is a seriously big gator! holy cow- a full size buck in it's mouth- like carrying a chew toy....

 

[ChickAudie]

LOL!! Mrs Lovely LaughingFeather, you can always smuggle them

This is a photoshoped image with the game warden. The deer in the gator's mouth is reeal, but understand Southern (Georgia, Florida, where gator are normally found) deer tend to be a lot smaller than anywhere else in the USA...this is from

http://forteanzoology.blogspot.com/2009/06/another-alabama-alligator.html

"The Alligator with deer in its mouth was real. The 28 foot 'gator was bad photoshop. The biggest 'gator ever recorded was 19 feet 6 inches and shot in Louisiana in 1890. The biggest in recent years was about 15 feet.
The only crocodilian reliably measured at over 28 feet was a 28 foot 4 inch Indo-pacific croc."
