Are there any 4-H groups that do chickens around the Bonney Lake area? I know of one in Spanaway & Tacoma, that's just a long drive.

Thanks, they are a robotic group. They only work on mechanics & robotics. I've seen this site for years, don't know if they are around or not. There used to be one that did chickens around here but my daughter wasn't old enough, then we got rid of the chickens for a while. Now we have them again I can't find the group.

If we can't find 4-H maybe we could find someone that can show her how to show a chicken & we can do some chicken shows...like dog show We do have a dog 4-H group just they don't have a leader to do chickens for us. They asked me to be the leader but I don't know enough about chickens & i'm busy enough with homeschooling, trying to keep the house in order & building up my grooming business more.

of shows throughout the year same as dogs maybe one could post that link

pretty good tabs on the little one I think being so young three might have
been a bit confusing for her this bird can only be 6 months old
now she is showing how good a momma she cam be with the 1

She is young. She will know what she's doing next time.

So I have 16 eggs so far. 21 fit comfortably in the incubator. I should be able to start it up in a couple days.

That's still leaving plenty of silkie eggs for us to eat since only 6 girls are in there with the rooster. (Yeah, maybe 30 silkies is a bit much, but that will be down by at least 7 here soon.)

@hinotori that is just what I cracked it up to the three was bit daunting
I am not certain the other eggs are viable as they should have hatched
in the last two days

Now there are fisher cats in the area. Like dealing with raccoons, coyotes, and bears aren't enough...
