Congrats on your grand champ/showmanship! I don't have any pointers for you on your round robin, except to remind you to have some fun with it.

Regarding James Homes... why should the tax payer have to pay for his upkeep for the rest of his life? Just a thought.

Thanks.
You made a great point. I am a bit in between, except the fact was it just as bad or worse then the Boston Bombing? It probably was so I think that it might be death. Also, he may have been mentaly ill, but also addicted to shooting games. I heard something at the start of the trial, he had sorta thought of it in a point way. It might just be best for James Homes to have death

I am so addicted to BYC so not really around much

Congrats on your Showmanship GC.

My email went down and so did BYC, I got the email fixed but still no BYC. I need to ask someone a favor that is on BYC, I just need to say goodbye.
Anyways coming from BYC to here is nice but also hard, on BYC there was a post on one of the 10 threads I followed atleast every ten minutes. But here with so many members having left and mostly people atleast 10 years older then me we are lucky to get two posts from two different people every 15 minutes, which does make it easier to keep up with but also gets lonely around here. I wish that a couple of my closest BYC friends would come here to get things moving, I have invited them but they haven't come. Anyways school is about to start so I don't know how much time I will get for BYH when it does.

Okay, so I am from Aurora and you probably know what my post will be about. I understand but am very disappointed with the jury's decision, it is time for Aurora to move on, but currently that is at the back of our minds right now. Now I say it like I was there, but I was in Wyoming camping at the time when it happened, it just affects us all. I have seen so many emotional news stories, especially from Ashley Moser, losing her daughter and unborn child as well as the usage of more then half her body. I am going to move on soon but I will never forget those 3 months of the trial, it happened during my summer which is when I tend to check the news more frequently.

Also why do some 4Hers go to other county's fair? Well there are many reasons, one to have fun, to see what other's animals look like if how the fair is run, or for some of us that are going to state, to find out what our competitors will have in stock.

Well Aurora is managing to move on, the news isn't very full anymore though. For me school is starting so I feel I might be a bit more busy, but that said I will still be on BYH in my free time. I am hoping to hatch show chicks this fall with a new breed addition, Golden Seibright, they are a great looking breed that I am looking forward to.
We are currently un-sure about using the nipple water for the chickens, a cheap water thing that takes my older girls time to figure out, I am not sure if it will continue to be used after my testing.

I am feeling a bit desperate now, I have been searching the web for Golden Seibright breeders in Colorado, and the places that drag me in don't even have them. I have already managed to find the other two breeds I wanted without much hassle. Also from what I have found Golden Seibrights aren't even very good birds, not like I have been told. Now I am considering just going back to my best breed that I was going to quit raising, Partraige Rock Bantams. Between those this year we have a class win and two blues along with two reds.

Okay, I decided I will change the thread name more frequently now as I update.
The show girls have moved with the big girls and are doing okay, getting along is hard for them even though they used to live together. I am actually enjoying the nipple system for the chickens too. For the past week or so I have been busy with school, managing to come on a bit, but mainly to chat with @Samantha drawz also, track has been a lot of work. And this weekend is state fair, I was confused yesterday when I read the news story that state fair stats this weekend, I thought it started last weekend, I had to bring it in about a week ago. But over the weekend it might only be head pokes for me because I have cake decorating contest and will be decorating a cake to look like a baby chick in less than an hour. I am excided but nervous, I don't want cake which means no practice and the last two cakes I have decorated took me 3 and 4 hours to do.
