That sounds great! If you are getting adult birds there are several things to watch for. First how are the birds acting? Are they active or sitting there with eyes closed, all hunched up and the feathers fluffed out? If they are not active they may be sick. Look for swelling around the eyes...

He is an oddball, feather-footed and we will probably use him in our egg flock. There is one hen that I would like to put him with because she is nearly the same color. The main thing I like about him is that he grew fast. Don’t yet know which direction but I am thinking maybe getting a few...

He is not even a year old yet, about 8 months. Should mature out at about 15 pounds or so.

A couple of days after our first good rain.

Still have those ugly chickens.

Through the years I have made a good living off of the oil patch from time to time. The companies that I have worked for used to kind of sneak in and out of Kansas. LOL There were a lot of wells from Caldwell to Dodge that we worked on. I was actually born and spent my early years in Wichita. We...

Oil patch traffic has pretty much destroyed most of the roads around here. Up in NW Ok at least Sandridge would fix the back roads when that little boom was going on,

Kingfisher area here. Welcome. Yes things here are rather slow but I almost bet there are more lurkers that we know about.

Going into Winter the possibility of another outbreak of AI is looming. We got kinda blindsided last Autumn so start bio-security early this year. The highest risk is along the flyways of the migrating waterfowl. In any case be on watch for the symptoms of AI in your flock. We were very...

NPIP classes to be testers are resuming. The only class that has been moved is the OKC class. Due to biosecurity no birds will be brought for the new testers to learn on, it will be by video presentation and that is the way future classes will probably be done. Glad to see that too, very...

Went to an auction today and some NNs just happened to show up! LOL

Got the e-mail today. All restrictions have been lifted. Swap meets, shows and public sales of poultry can continue in Oklahoma.

Still only the one commercial flock and one wild duck infected here in Ok. according to the latest from our Ag. Dept. Hopefully this link works. An overview of the outbreak so far, number of states and birds affected...

I usually just go to APHIS on the USDA site and also rely on the e-mails sent out for the Ag. Dept here in the state. New Jersey has an infected backyard flock now but most infections are still on the flyways. Still hope that the Summer will take care of most of this problem. Bumped 100F...
