I decided not to bring my wee white turkey when I sent in my entry. He's in great condition, but I didn't feel like bathing him.

I am bringing one American. He's not in the best condition, but I'm curious what the judges will think of hm. See you at the show, 12 birds to bathe tomorrow.

I like that all black one.

I have two blacks, one blue, two lavs (but they are just goose egg incubators).

hope you feel better soon Teresa!!

I may sneak a glass anyway.
Saw Dr. yesterday. Not H-pylori (which would have meant I take some antibiotics and it would go away). So, now off to have abdominal ultrasound and barium swallow. ick.

oooh

So sorry about the dietary restrictions, that's the pits! The barium swallow isn't that bad... at least it's something you swallow. I've seen some swallowing studies done with barium (they do things like put it between break like a sandwich, in yogurt, etc) and I haven't seen anyone gag or toss cookies yet. Not fun, but it shouldn't be uncomfortable.

Yes your right CR, I spoke to CL tonight tho and she said it would be much better to at least try to sell them there first and if it looks like no one is interested then I could probably take them up the road. Either way, I have to make this trip worth the money, my husband is already concerned I may be spending more then it's worth. But, I guess it's a chance I have to take, cause they aren't moving here right now either, and they are eating me out of house and home! Anyway, thank you for the heads up, it will still be nice to meet all my BYC peeps and just have a good time!

Depending on the price you are offered at yardbirds I might be interested in some for eating. I'm very humane (although butchering is still not my idea of fun).

can we do a trade? I have some empty propane tanks (with the old style valve so they cannot be refilled), but I could use the propane

could bring to Chehalis (also plan to bring extra chairs if anyone needs them)

Well I use propane for many things like cooking, the travel trailer, the forge and I use some to remove the powder coat from the propane tanks. So I would like to have it so I think it is really up to RW.

Sorry Kaneke... rustler gets em since I've promised them to him for a couple months now....
maybe he can use some of the propane to make my wolf

whew, that is good to know. they gave me a "GI cocktail" - don't be confused by the word "cocktail" in it.....it is not yummy (as the word cocktail would lead you to believe). Made my throat numb....but did make my stomach numb also and helped it to feel better. lol.

OK I would like to relay a story from the OR thread. Iwould like to see if there is any way we or may be able to encourage this young FUTURE poultry person.

Here is the story !!

Horrible story recently:
My daughter is 7 and very mature/old for her age (acts 17 at times) and very responsible.
Even though she is very responsible I am aware of my daughters age and I am right there the whole time helping her with her pets!

We were told by a breeder (I will not name because I will not start trash on here, I hate drama) that a 7 year old showing in 4h is a waste of a good SQ bird and they refused to sell a SQ bird they had for sale to her at the "4h" discount % offered on a different PQ bird they had because they wanted that SQ bird to stay and be shown by them or sold to a home who would show it circuit or a "REAL BREEDING PROGRAM" as they put it.

I do not mean we wanted a SQ bird for a PQ bird price. I mean they refused to give her the 10% off they told her for 4h discount and then they told her they couldn't sell her that SQ bird because it was to good for her, in a different way that confused her luckily so she didn't understand but I did. And I flipped a lid.

Its a little hurting to be told that 4h isnt worthy of the same good quality as circuit shows are. I think they were more affraid the bird would be neglected by a kid and a good SQ bird woud sit in our yard and rott though that is not the case..... And I explained that to them.
My daughter was a little upset about it but she luckil didn't quite understand why he wouldn't sell her the bird she liked. She just was more upset I wouldn't let her get any birds I think.....

She is currently doing extra chores and working hard for the neighbors and family to earn money for her own flock of silkies for 4h
We will be able to help her out some $ as well but 4h discounts appreciated for above WANT silkies. (Arau/Ameraucanas not for 4h their mine )
DH is building her a very nice small coop/run of her own for xmas for her project. So most/all of the bird cost will be up to her on her own.

Thank You
