For the first time, at the Oakland County Open Jackpot Poultry Show I
decided to try Malory’s Menagerie of Poultry . Malory’s Menagerie is an
educational game about poultry. The game is similar to a Jeopardy game.
My goal is to educate about poultry in a fun way.
The winners of each class won a trophy ,a ribbon , a certificate, and a
year membership or a year renewal in the APA-ABA Youth Program. The
2nd and 3rd place of each class received a ribbon.
Overall, Malory’s Menagerie went very well and everyone seemed to
enjoy it . I hope to bring Malory’s Mengerie of Poultry to other poultry
shows .
I hope to see you next time ,
Malory Davis
The winners of the Junior class were 1st place Libby Laforest, 2nd place Mark
Hagen,and 3rd place Piper Laforest. The winners of the Intermediate class were
1st place Aneesa Berryer, 2nd place Allie Purves, and 3rd place Chase Finkbeiner.
The winners of the Senior class were 1st Tommy Purves , 2nd place Mark Ugo, and
3rd place Jacob Blodgett .

This is a photo of me, Andie Rupple and new members of the
APA ABA Youth club. I’m teaching two new boys 101 poultry
basics and getting them ready for showmanship at their fair in
Park County Colorado. They came to my home on July 5th.
The new members are Adam Susic and Aron Susic.

This is Trevor Simmons. I took Champion Bantam and Best of
Show last weekend at the Daviess county fair in Missouri.
This little pullet Iwon with is out of mu rooster and a hen that I
got from Craig Hansen. My parents are very proud of all the
hard work and time I spend with my birds and I’m working hard
on my breeding program.

Thank you for spending so much time with me
today on the phone. I sent in my daughter's
membership application online. Her name is
Lindley Mason and we are out here in sunny
Southern Calif.
I am attaching two photos from our San Diego
County Fair last week. One is with Lindley and
her white bearded silkie, Prince, in his
cage. He won Best in Breed, Best Feather
Legged, Best Bantam, Best in Youth, and Reserve in the show. She is very proud of him! I
am proud of what good care she has learned to
give him to keep him looking his best.
The second photo was taken after showmanship. Lindley won 1st in Senior and is pictured
with the judge Frank Joseph. I have printed off
the information to give to our Fair Manager to
get this showmanship sanctioned for next
year. I don't see how this wouldn't be to our
Fair's advantage and our Fair Manager has always been very open to ideas on how to improve.
Thank you again! Jody Mason

FROM KENDALL OSBORN
These are my Wheaten Ameraucanas.
Some of the pictures aren’t very good but I
thought I’d just let you see all of them. The pictures are actually just of one of my pullets but I
think right now she is the best one.
I just to where my dad works and I made
$65.00 by selling Zucchini bread and it’s going
toward buying a rooster to go with my two pullets
if they do good in showmanship and best of
breed..
(Last month Kendall wrote about getting her birds
and giving them blueberries to help get them gentled and used to her—I think it worked Kendall.)
This communication below is a little different, not from a member but a parent and I wanted to share with
all of you.
It’s a note that tells just a little of what parents do and go through for their kids in the poultry hobby.
It brought a huge smile to my face. Parents are just so special!
Hi Doris,
Well I've got five kiddos, ages 12, 10, 8, 6, and almost 4. The two have shown a few years and the 8 and 6 year
olds are getting into it. Our main focus, and the majority of our 120+ birds (yikes) are Modern Game Bantams. My 10 is
really into the moderns. She started with a pair of brown reds from Brett Davenport but we lost the cock early on. It took
awhile but a few years ago she acquired a trio of Birchen from Tom Anderson and has been showing birds she's bred from
those and their offspring. We actually just picked up a Jim & Bonnie Sallee line pair by way of James Cooper from the USPS
today...she's looking forward to seeing what they bring to her and her siblings program next year.
She also has Sumner and Davenport Brown Reds and Karen Derrik whites. Lulin Serama's sold her a trio of splash last year
so this year she was working on increasing numbers in brown red, white, lemon blue, and splash.
Lulin gave my kids a "leftover" Dutch Bantam Silkie from imported lines last year and my oldest fell in love :-). I've purchased her some more from Vicki Harry and others (only about ten) and she's growing them out and learning. We added
Quail D'Anvers from Mr Cooper and have been hatching, hatching, hatching :). We are all still very much learning Silkies
and D'Anvers and even Moderns...always a work in process!
I personally love the moderns. While I don't show...I may at some point and that would be my breed of choice. The way o
figure it is its my kids turn to show...I had my time when I was younger showing horses and its my job to be there for them
right now:-). Someday I'll start showing myself though I'm sure as I enjoy the birds and shows as much as they do! Mostly
because of the people!
Looking forward to all the upcoming info and love the program! As a 4-H leader I try to get all my "chicken kids" involved!
