Open
Forum for Avian Questions
9/25/07 - Lynn Schlosser
Kids have so many questions about Poultry and Waterfowl
and they have problems getting their questions answered. With
this in mind I (Lynn Schlosser) am hosting a MS Space dedicated
to asking questions. The format is based on the fitting
and show table. I give references for looking up
the information themselves and try to find the humorous
questions that several judges use to stump kids. 4-H
members can post answers to questions and give comments
on topics (strongly monitored).
Where is it? http://demamagoosehouse.spaces.live.com/ It
is a free space with my email service and I think that
it will add to the youth experience in Poultry and Waterfowl.
