No kidding! I wish I got paid 2.00 per stall per day. That would be at least ( we always have at least 3 horses here) an extra 42.00 per week raise! I could use that to pay for 1/4 of my chicken feed per week!!!!

We had both a good Red class and a good NH class at the show.
We have a couple of things in the works with a few different breed clubs for our show next year. If it all gets worked out, we could easily double the Bantams and triple the Large Fowl entries for next year. We were talking this...
Lol, no offence taken at all! Yep I look at and feed anywhere from 75 to over 200 chickens each and every day. Most all of my males,40+ Are in their own pen so it can be very time consuming. I look at them and decide if I'm going to feed them or if they are going to feed me.
Just saying that...
Your right, breeding to the SOP and showing is not for everyone and I'm not trying to change your mind but I remember you also saying that using an incubator was not for you as well....then you bought a good one and it never got turned off for weeks.
Yes in the end they are all still chickens...
Rhonda finally shut the registration down for our show Saturday. Here are the numbers...
Total birds entered 743
There is just over 200 Lg Fowl (I think 207)

About 36 Water Fowl
And 2 Turkey
It's free to walk in and look around! There will be people selling things, birds...
Here you go Terri. I put this guys father in a pen with some pullets and collected the first 2 eggs today for you! You should end up with some chicks that look like this. This pic was taken this morning of one of my birds going to BR!
He is about 8 months old and still needs to fill out a...
Ok, this is not the final number/ numbers but it's close.....
Total birds entered--- 730 but we think that there is a few more in the mail.
Just over 200 Lg Fowl entered!
Just over 400 Bantams entered
Right at 100 birds entered in the Jr's classes
And I think 31 or 32 Water fowl entered
I...
676 Birds entered in the Baton Rouge show as of this morning but we still have a couple entries in the mail that we are waiting on. I think we will get to about 700 birds entered before it's all said and done! Not bad for our first show!!!!
I hope to see some of you there next Saturday...
You can DE the coop but I believe they need a host to survive. Spray your birds taking away the host and the birds will be protected for about 30 days. In about 2 or 3 weeks spray them again and that should solve the problem.
Years ago I had a problem with mites or lice and I DE my coop and...
Frontline spray! Spray them once behind their neck with the tip pressed up against them and once again by their vent in the same manner. Repeat in two weeks if you want but I have never had to.

The judging starts with the first show at 9am the 2nd set of Judges will get started I'm guessing around lunch or just after. I'm also guessing that we will be there until about 4:30 - 5:00 before everyone starts leaving.
I think I heard that we are now at 460 birds entered! I think we are...
I know that I have not been getting to many responses to my post about this but I'm persistent none the less!!!
We are now up to 400 birds entered in our show in Baton Rouge Nov 9th at LSU for those of you interested in coming just to walk around and look at some really nice birds! If your on...
Yep Terry your right, I have way to many Bantams right now. I'm going to sell all the Barred Rock Bantams and all the Black Rock Bantams very soon. Then just maybe keep the 4 other breeds of bantams for now with the 2 Lg fowl breeds I have and see how that goes. Do you want any? lol!!!
