I hope this isn't confusing to anyone. But hi!!
No, I know it looks like I'm a new peep but that's not true. I've been here since 2/2010.
Apparently my machine eliminated the "cookie" and I had to re-sign in. That didn't work. So after trying all day to sign in and contacting the powere that be (with no response) they kept telling me they sent the info to my mail box. Funny, I never received it. Huh, every tom, dick and harry can get me a message but not these guys. IDK.
Hopefully I will get this corrected in the near future. Mike

Hi Mike.

Welcome!

Sorry... I just HAD to do that, being that the computer says you're a New Egg and all!

I hope you get your old log-in back soon.

I live for the snow, the top reason I could never live over on the other side of the state. The scorching heat of summer and blizzards in winter keep me happy.

About the race thing, I always got along better with the foreign kids in school. My heritage is German, Welsh, Scottish, with some Indian (from India, not Native American) so I am fairly diverse. The thing that makes me chuckle, is that the whole time I went to school, everyone always thought I was Russian. Then in high school I took Russian for 2 years so I can speak it fairly well (better than English some days). Even with my shiny bald noggin, folks still say I look Russian so I just learned to go with it.

Hey, so your a poser!! NO problem!!! LOL!!!

just kiddin man!!!! That's cool you know Russian that well! I heard it's not an easy language to learn!

We are living in a lawn mower barn !!!!!!!!!! LOL...not in the house.
The house is framed, but no roof trusses, siding etc.
It is tarped (BIG TARP)

Yikes! That sounds very cold.

I hope you stay warm there and your house gets done quickly before bad weather hits. I'm not sure why I thought you were building a 2nd house.

Thanks Robin!!!  man that's means I'm gonna have to bone up on a lot of poultry breeds, and the APA standards too   I'm having a hard enough time tryin to figure out my own breeds!!  LOL!!  well, that could be  a good first assignment, figure out what poultry breed you want to raise, the pros, cons, and know the basics of the SOP for that breed, too much??

If I were you I'd start with nutrition, care, housing, then breeding, broodies, hatching, chicks, incubating, feed & care of chicks, and all that before I got into the SOP.
Kids just need to know how to..before they learn what is perfect, otherwise it would not be so fun.
Out here, Andrea works with the 4-H kids.
They all bring birds to the Fair and few are breeder birds.
Most are hatchery stock.
But the important thing is they learn life, death & all care, handling & showing before they under take an expensive breed and the SOP.
Older kids (like Tamara's girls) then get into the serious stuff....teenagers that have experience raising birds.
That's just my opinion...
It sure is fun working with the younger kids, watching them show & all...very cool & makes ya happy to see them happy.
happy and doing something educational, instead of getting into trouble and/or doing nothing.

Sticking my head out again (Hi, the kid's still here, and I had way too much fun getting Baaachus into his house tonight) to say that I mentioned to Andrea that I'm hoping we (BYC, and chicken people in general) can find a way to get better birds into the hands of 4-H kids, because my tendency is to think that if the genetics aren't there, the possibility that kids are going to have a satisfying experience with their project animals isn't high. I wish there were more extension agents and really knowledgable senior 4-Hers to advise younger members, too: a lot of the chickens I saw at the fair this year were under-fed, dirty, and in general not what should be shown, and when I was in animal projects it was the Junior Leaders in my club and at the county level who gave me the most guidance on show prep.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm you are right.....maybe you need the fur tuc hat.....Daskvedania !
That's all I know.
My little brother took Russian too, and speaks it really well.
Years ago he'd call me up disguised voice and rattle on in russian and I would freak trying to tell the stranger I no-speak-a-the-ruskie !
He is a clown..............
