***OKIES in the BYC III *** - Page 2827

Just killing time laying around the house. Went out earlier and looked the chickens over. Here is a picture of my chicken tractors lined up for tomatoe protection duty. In a few days when I am up and around better will build some more for two reasons. Got lots of young chickens that need to be out scratching, and have lots more garden.

Okay, I need everyone's help and suggestions. Poco did all my editing for me. Are there any suggestions that anyone has?

Thank you

Guy was it you that was saying you use that horse fly spray on your chickens for mites and such???  I love your chicken tractors, had the same idea but never put it to use, not doing much garden untill my back gets fixed. I have been trying to call you for over a week and it goes to a voice mail or a msg saying not accepting calls at this time, call me if you get the chance, or if you have changed your number, thanks, Lynn

Number is the same, but have really poor service here in Western OK and had it turned off a couple days while at hospital. Cell is 580-919-7691 home (best bet to get me) 580-323-1360. Yes I use the Bronco fly spray that was sold for horse spray. Works good on fleas and ticks on dogs also. Give me a call, am getting bored setting around.

BlanchardOK where are you? I know what you mean I was offline 3 days and had to catch up on well over 200 posts. Everyone seems to be doing well. NOW. Cowboy. Looking at the posts. BlanchardOk if you still want some Quail they hatched a couple days ago but only got 39 (live) out of 100 eggs. I'm lucky to have that many with the electricity going off for over 2 hours one night. I can still part with 2 or 3 of each type I have Texas A&M, Giant Brown, and either Tibetian or Tuxido (maybe both). A couple have yellow bellies with dark chocolate upper. I've got one Texas A&M that NEVER shuts up, You can CERTAINLY have it. The only bird I've got that I have ever named. SQUEEKER.

BFRANCIS- I have tried 4 times to answer you q's from ages ago but I can't seem to be able to post And I'm not sure it'll work this time but I have Partridge Rock chickens besides the Quail. Got some 5-6 week old and the 3 day old ones (Same Breeds) about 40 older ones.The P rocks are going on 3 months(19 of em) and I have ONE heritage dominique(all that lived from a weekend shipment in January). Out of 32 birds shipped 20 survived. I think you call the quail New World??

Cowboy- take care of yourself.

Kass enjoyed the vids:)

And to all the rest of you I REALLY enjoy reading about your tales. Have a great day.
