Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[Chicken Rustler]

With my kids - they get to learn at home, but they might not be learning things as they really are. After all, they think an egg comes from a Chicken Rustler, gets put into a plastic electric box and out comes a chick! How's that for misleading my kids?

They do in Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and Camp Fire USA. I would guess it would be the same for 4-H. The Scouting programs (the 3 mentioned) also have strict rules about 2-deep leadership - always having a 2nd adult around.

Yes, they do background checks for all 4-H Leader volunteers.

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.

I was really surprised when the King County 4-H rep asked me where to get hatching eggs. She gets asked that and didn't know.

I wanted to see the 4-H show, but I didn't. I got to go the first day and see the regular show.

I now have a recipe for an almond tart that should be fairly easy to adapt to a GF tart. The tart is one of our current favorites.
