Let's hear it for waterfowl & women !

[Evy]

Grand Champion of the 2700+ bird show at the Northeast Poultry Congress last weekend was a Sebastapol Goose shown by Karen MacPherson ! I also heard that a White Call was champion bantam but I can't verify that. Anyone with more results?

Who could be against waterfowl or women, but I do like the wild ones more than the domestics!

I saw a photo of the winning goose on another forum - beautiful bird!

Wild ones? The birds domestic or wild or do you refer the the women in those terms. Hee, hee.

[goosedragon]

BOTH! Surely you have heard of Wild Women and you must know some of the domestic kind to?

[Mary]

I only hang with the wild ones. The domestic bore me to death. All they know to talk about are children and grandchildren. My life, even when I was raising my family consisted or lots more and that is probably why I see so little of my kids as they are out pursuing the top of a mountain or a cave's passages somewhere underground or motor cycling to someplace they have never been or camping on a mountain some place. I can and do all the domestic stuff, just there is so much more to do.

Evy,
My wife April and I won with the white call. He was reserve waterfowl I believe. I ended up not being able to attend the show, so she went with out me. I guess I should stay home more often. I don't think he was champion bantam though.

Oh, wow, handsome duck. Lucky lady. I'm guessing it is our Evy, right?

Just had a question my son wants to show sebastopols in 4-H someone said to feed them rolled oats I can't find them in my area is whole oats the same?

[Angela]

Not quite. Ask your feed store for "crimped" oats. They have been flatened, with the husks removed. Whole oats are natural, and are just as good.
