***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[BrokenArrowChic]

New member to BYC and I was doing some scrounging around and found this thread. I'm so happy there are threads by state, that's cool. I'm living in Broken Arrow Oklahoma (technically in the city limits.. shhhh don't tell)

I'm a new chicken momma. I have one chicken. We may be getting a friend for her but until the coop I ordered comes in my husband says my chicken buying is on hiatus.

Luna is my red sex link hen. She is 5 weeks old. She loves watching TV. She sits on my shoulders while I pick up the house, fold laundry, pull weeds, etc. We have totally embraced this whole chicken thing. When we open the back door she comes running. And if something scares her while she is enjoying some supervised free roaming she runs straight for my legs. It's the funniest thing.

I look forward to reading posts here! This is a great site.

Welcome brokenarrowchic. No reason to stop getting chicks... Chicks live in brooders not coops. Your DH must not realize the coop always comes after the chickens!

You need to join us at poops in Choctaw Saturday. We will help you get enough chicks to fill the coop by the time it arrives.

BrokenArrowChick! Ahh, the first young steps in the life of a new "chickener".

Welcome to OKIES in the BYC. Chicken Math, you must learn how to do Chicken Math as it is plain from this post that you will need it. We have many enablers on OKIES in the BYC who will offer to tutor you for free - some modest expenditure may be involved as you progress through the educational steps of Chickening, but in all you will find it a very friendly and fun bunch to hang out with.

Glad you found us.

Psst, psst, hey guys, she's already got one AND she's got her named! Good start jcatblum, she'll be ready to listen to you when you begin chicken math lessons!

Oh mah goodness ya'll, I got behind on this thread and had just about given up on catching up...but I made it! I'm coming to POOPS and I am very excited...and I am bringing chickens and my one chicken keeping friend ...but in my haste to read through the thread I have missed the t-shirt information...I think that I need at least a ladies small and a child's medium and maybe more? Can I get more the day of?

I am so jealous of all the gardeners posting the gorgeous gardens..mine keeps getting pecked into oblivion...but I am working on that....

I really am going to try to get photos of what I am bringing....and post them! Stuff keeps happening around here like TORNADO on the next block over and a bank robber next door ( the whole thing is too lengthy to post but yes the cross dressing bank robber was my next door neighbor and the people who investigate those things now all dress like casual Friday on a daily basis now which I did not know) and school field trips and why O why is it that the most beautiful season that we should get to savor is the one that is just so crammed up with events? Anyone else feeling that? Like it is Christmas Busy this Spring?

ANYWAY! Hope to pop up some photos tomorrow and see you all at POOPS

from Meeker. First lesson in chicken Math...a bird doesn't count if it isn't laying. Tell hubby you "really don't have any chickens" yet. Then go ahead and get a friend. Since it won't be laying, it also won't count yet.
