***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[Greybear23]

Good morning all! I want to welcome all the newcomers, I am on and off here a lot so I don't post everyday, but check in! Has anyone heard from Monty (Buckguy)??? Any news on a POOPS???? It is certainly cold here today and we got a little rain last night! Coral I am glad I decided to put the girls in the barn last night, think that will be routine for a while at least. Robin, when we get Lucky settled with some hens I will post some pics for you!!! Everyone have a safe and blessed day!!! Lynn

Had a nice visit today with BYC member SonRise Silkies (Cheryl) from Elmore City. She drove all the way to Meeker to get some Cochin babies to take home. She also traded a lovely Quail d'Anver hen for a Mille Fleur d'Anver Rooster. Now my other little guys will soon have a hen replacing Miss Piggy that recently died. Cheryl is a lovely lady that loves chickens!

We didn't get as much rain as we thought, but the temps are much cooler today.

A big

To postalpoultry and dtoone....you found a great group of Okie chicken folk!

Quote: OKracefan, Im not sure what colors of Silkies Cheryl has. I know she has Silkies and Seramas....and now some Cochin and two little CW. She does have some BLRW chicks she bought. The Chicken addiction is catching.

I'm down here in Purcell and just got my first hens and chicken coop with a run. I have 3 jersey giants and am about to get a rooster. although I grew up having chickens, I never really learned "how" to do it. I have a lot of questions. I want my hens to be healthy, happy and lay productively.

Hey guys, I spoke to Cathie briefly last night. She is still getting moved & has sold most of her birds. She said she still has a few bantam pairs & a couple foam incubators. Anyone interested can PM her, screen name Okieridge.
As many of you know we break ground on our house in a 2 more weeks. I spend spare time browsing house ideas. My kitchen has been roosters for as long as I can remember, but today I ran across peacock kitchens!

I don't think I will be doing my kitchen in peafowl, but sure was surprised to find them!

Is there someone who DOESN"T like cochins?? LIL adorable puff balls, lay like crazy and fantastic mommas, can't imagine NOT liking them LOL

Your set up looks great! It's not hard, feed, water, protection and a little love (that part is not mandatory but will come) You will be just fine. But if you have any problems some here can surely help!
