4-H Chick Chain

Posted By admin on April 15, 2009

We are gearing up for a new batch of chicks coming tomorrow. We had to meet with all the 4-H’ers to get their picture taken and a bag of feed. The Chick Chain is sponsored by Dorris Milling in Springfield Tn.

Samuel is third from the left in the first row and Mr. Dorris is at the far right. (Hey Mom, aren’t you proud of me for remembering the camera?) Samuel is very excited to do his own chicks this year. He will get 25 hens that are 3 days old and he will have to take care of them and keep a log until the 5th of September. At that point he will need to pick his 6 best birds to show at the Robertson Co. Fair After the judging those birds will be auctioned off to support the Chick Chain for next year.

 

We can’t wait to show off the new peeps! Tune in tomorrow.

 

Y’all come back now.

About the author

I am a work at home Mom of two of the best boys ever. I am a Nationally Certified Master Groomer and have been grooming out of my home for the last 12 years. We have recently moved to Greenbrier Tn on 27 acres. We are new to the "homesteading thing" but we are excited to learn. We hope to be filling our farm with many critters and a garden. We are homeschoolers so everything is a unit study to us. It has been fun to see the boys help Dad cut firewood. We will also be learning how to build a chicken coop in the near future as well. I have been making handcrafted soap lately as well and I am seeing an improvement in that business as well. It is all natural vegetable and goat milk based soaps. Can't wait to share this experience with everyone.
