It's a long story but one of Ella's battery rescues went to the big freerange in the sky :cry:

So clever dad thinks he can do a swap and the kids will be none the wiser
Sort of like "fine cotton" with chooks

The Moral to the story is ...
never try to trick a six year old , especially one that knows poultry inside out back the front and upside down , She didn't even take a second look .

That girl has a big future in poultry judging , I think I better enrol her in Junior Judging , she might teach me a thing or two :oops:

I sold them for 3 for $1
but dropped my price to 5 for $1 for the kids and serious buyers

I sold over 200 feathers , one lady bought 85 feathers , she is also after some pheasant feathers , So I gave her a flyer and told her to log on .
It also generated a lot of interest in the Peafowl department , and I have a few enquiries about purchases , So I gave them all flyers

Their was a bloke selling Young Peafowl for thirty dollars each , He is almost always their , and he sold 3 young peahen before he even took them off the ute

Well you knew you didn't have a chance at tricking her lol :lol:

Is there junior judging? Who do i ring to find out a bit more about it? Mikaela already is starting to get a better eye for detail than me and would love to get her into judging.

Yes they do have a junior judging gig , first they teach them the finer points of poultry, then they get them to do some mock judging . and when they are ready get to stand in with a real judge at a real show . and talk with the judge/judges about what they think , I know two kids ( sorry kids but your still kids to me) who have done it . and it has helped them heaps , one of them has gone a long way in the poultry world ,and is considered very highly as a breeder ,and he still goes to school , most seasoned judges , would seriously respect his opinion .
After all the Kids are our future ,and it's no use having knowledge if you can't pass it on,
I'll try to find some details.
