I give them kale every day, & have started giving them sunflower seeds for protein. Should I not so the kale daily? What else can I give them for protein?
I thought that too, but we only have the 6 hens. And I never see any of them being aggressive! And the buff orp doesn't have the same pattern of missing feathers.
I have 6 hens; 2 molted months ago & never got their feathers back. One partially did, her skin is at least covered. The other is completely naked on her back. Some start to grow in but then disappear. They all seem completely healthy & act normal, & I haven't noticed mites. What should I do?
Hey everybody!
I have a friend looking for bantam trios for her kiddos to show. She said Barred Rocks, but then said she'd take any bantams if they'd be good for what they're doing. We're in Oklahoma, central/south central. I put in pricing because its required, but please let us know what...
Hey everybody!
I have a friend looking for bantam trios for her kiddos to show. We're near central/south central Oklahoma, & I've been out of the loop so long that I don't even know who around here has what anymore. Lol. She said Barred Rocks, but then said she'd take any bantams if they'd be...
Congrats on the sale!! Those are my favorite kinds of garage sales, the ones where I come home with animals. Lol. What breeds do you have? Or do you have a free run mix? :)
mjgigax, thanks for the info!! I completely forgot about Newcastle, I used to go to their shows.
loriemarler, I wonder who I could talk to about the Blanchard auction. Do you know where it is held? That is actually closest to us.
Ironsights, that kinda sounds like Cement! I love hearing...
Ironsights, its really not much to see. One old street with old buildings. Although they do have a gas station, a pharmacy, a fire department, & a museum. Which is more than what Purdy has these days! Lol
Poco Pollo, thanks for the info! I've been told that Apache has a good auction now, maybe Cement merged with it. I'm close to the Chickasha area (go Fightin' Chicks! Lol, yes that's really their mascot), so the auctions you mentioned are pretty far for me.
Ironsights, are you new to Oklahoma!? Lol jk. It is very small, my dad's family is from there. I used to attend the auction every month, it was a great turnout!
margaret8, thank you for the offer but we will pass on the guineas for now. Lol
Hey BYC Okies!!!
After 7 long, featherless years... I'm getting back in the chicken business!! I finally got moved back out to the country, & immediately began planning. Lol. It won't be until spring before I get my girls, but I wanted to get back on the board & get acquainted with all the...
Hello everyone! I got a pm today congratulating me on my 7 year anniversary with the BYC! I don't imagine I know most of the posters these days, but I'm glad to see the Okies of the BYC is going strong. I miss chickening, it was a great deal of fun with good people. If any of the old posters...
I just logged in and saw that I got a "5 Year Anniversary Award"! Aw yay, how special! Thanks BYC for giving us a place to hang out and talk about our birds. =)
Buckguy!!!! So good to hear from you! I was wondering if you still hung around here. Maybe all us oldies should go back to a Yahoo group. Lol
I would love to make it to POOPS! You guys still have it in Choctaw? You'll have to shoot me a BYC pm whenever you find out the date. I haven't...
Aw thanks!!! =) I really miss everyone! One of the nicest bunches of people I've ever met are right here on this board. Well, not literally. You know what I mean. LOL
Grace's dad, I didn't realize you all had moved! I bet its nice being closer to work though. You still have chickens...
