Im really a horse person but always have chickens. Ive had silkies off and on for 25 years and just in the last year or so started researching them as a lot of things seem to have changed. Any way I bid on some eggs from ebay last spring and hatched them in my new Brower incubator (that I love) I even made a cover for it. My first little sweeties were born June friday 13 2008.Now I have about 25 to keep me busy, and they are all my babies. I also have four miniature horses that I've had for about 10 years or so and three full size horses. One of them just turned 34 years and I also had his mother. Actually I've not been without a horse sence I was 8 years old. As you can tell I am an old person---- 58 to be exact. But I refuse to grow up.. I'm the Head custodian for a K-8 elementary school in Burlington Washington (about 60 miles north of Seattle Wa) I drive a Dodge Ram 2500 bright blue (Electric Blue) Four wheel GAS HOGG, but I still love it. I have 2 sons both here in Burlington who who work for Triple XXX race company .They build and ship sprint car frames and parts all over the US. Kelsey also races at our local skagit speedway 3/4 mile dirt oval track and was 2008 and 2009 sportsman sprinter champion, He is 30yrs old. Travis does the same thing at Triple XXX and is building his own car to race at Deming speedway. they race 1200s and 600s at that track Travis is 31 years old. I have 3 grand children ALL boys too, Justin 11 years--Darrel 9 years--Kelsey jr 6 years little Kelsey was born on his cousin Darrels birthday Feb 8th Any way thats about all of me except I did forgit to say that I love to dance western cupples- dont have much time to lately BUT Someday watch out....... Karen Carpenter's Interests Introduce Yourself: I am a member of the APA (American Poultry Asso) ASBC(American Bantam Silkie Club) AQHA (American Quarter Horse Asso) ABHA (American Buckskin Horse Asso) BCH (Back Country Horseman) PBA (Pygora Breeders Asso) ADGA (American Dairy Goat Asso) Favorite Quote: The faster I go the behinder I get. (Seems I may be getting ahead) Rules I live by: Life.. Family.. and Friends are to be treasured always. Interests & Hobbies: I love all animals wish I could have more, But while I'm raising my grand kids it will have to wait . Horses are my passion and the older I get it seems that there is less time to ride the trails like I used to. I do love my miniatures... plus they are eiser to take care of (eat less) take up way less room (fit with my silkies better)and when they step on you it dosent hurt as much. LOL. MY nigerian dwarf goats like my silkies too. TV Shows: I like to watch Animal Planet and History Channel. Favorite Music & Bands: I truley love country music and cant live without it... Favorite Movies: I have a soft spot in my heart for LORD OF THE RINGS. Another favorite movie is LAST OF THE DOG MEN. I love to watch WILD HEARTS CAN'T BE BROKEN and any WILL SMITH movie. Favorite Celebrities: I have to say Orlando Bloom has got to be my favorite celebritiy and I do admire Jenifer Anniston. Favorite Reads: I like to read J.R.R.Tolkien Books(THE LORD OF THE RINGS)also anything else he wrote.
