***OKIES in the BYC III *** - Page 2728

Anybody have any heavy breed hatchlings they would be willing to part with? I think I may only get one out of this batch :( poor lonely guy

Went to Newcastle, got a number and left. 

My Silkie chicks have splayed legs. Tried doing the band-aid thing which I hate since they have feathers on their legs. But I don't know that I even did it right. And I'm afraid I'm just going to lose these two. So. No more hatching eggs out for me. they were the only Silkie eggs to do anything and one of them just rarely even tries to move. I'm so broken hearted. All I wanted was a couple of Silkies and I don't think I'm going to even get that now if I lose these two. 

Went by the Newcastle auction.  Arrived at 7 and they were still selling eggs and chicks.  There were a lot of chicks and hatching eggs there tonight.  Some of the eggs sold quite well.  3 purple peacock eggs sold for $20+ each.  

We stayed for a couple of hours, waiting for the pickled quail eggs and pickled chicken eggs to come up for auction.  They were still selling incubators and brooders when we left and had not yet brought the pickled eggs up for auction.  I hope they do well since they were taken by our BYC folks.

Had the chance to briefly visit with Queen Peaches, Michael D., Al, bfrancis and qwartel, mjgixax and her spouse, Jcatblum, Muesky, Elwood Lightfoot, Chiclooker and OldMotherHen, waved at dgibson and almost bid on something by accident, waved more discreetly at NoCityBoy and OldCowboy,  and visited briefly with NanaKat.  I am sure I left someone out (like Modernman, whom I did not actually make eye contact with) and I apologize for that and blame it on my poor memory.

God save me from these shameless enablers!!!

I'm looking at Silver Laced and Gold Laced LF Cochins right now along with the Lemon Blues....Ya know.....I've got a couple acres here I can fence......I could make yards for different colored big Cochins......I'll think on it for a few wks. If I still want to in a few wks then I'll know I'm not going to change my mind. 

One more Okie to the list ;-) I live in a very small town in Oklahoma!

I got some Ameraucanas at the auction tonight, 4 of the group look to be several wks old , the other 3 (yellow) look like they're only a day or 2 old. My other chicks are all 2-3 wks and older and probably wouldn't mesh well with a new hatchling. The 4 bigger Ameraucana are so cool, they're from MJ's friend, Jack. MJ, be sure to tell him I love em'!

And I got 7 Light Brahmas, I was so excited to get them :-)))) Fat little round things, I love em'! And 6 Spitzhauben but I split them with the couple who were bidding against us because I felt bad for winning them, I'm a sap. So we each ended up with 3, they're real skinny but they're in there under the heat lamp chowing down on wet mash right now so I hope they'll be ok.

MomsBusyBee-welcome!
Oh, and I got to meet Bill-finally.  I've wanted to meet him for a long time. If I hadn't had to get baby chicks home I'd have love to talk to you longer, Bill.

The others who were there-how much did the LF Cochin adults go for? I wasn't going to buy any and I wanted to hurry up and get the babies home so I didn't stay to find out.
