    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    Hey all. Used to frequent this thread (reading mostly) but I've been out for awhile. We've lost 13 hens and a rooster over the past month (bold Coyotes and our dog ran away). Was wondering if anyone had a rooster and some hens for sale? If you do, feel free to PM me or shoot me an email at...

    We've had the same ones for years. We normally pick and eat just as we find them. I've looked before and I think everyone just calls them wild onions.

    Does anyone have young chicks available in the Tulsa area? Or know if atwoods still has them? I'm trying to get my broody hens off the nest. (My rooster is about 10% effective right now, so no chance of hatching our eggs.)

    Hey Kyzmette. You gave me some hatching eggs last fall. Well, out of 4 that made it, 3 were girls. And the third one went broody after a week of eggs and now has 2 chicks of her own! Thank you!

    Here you go Kyzmette. These are all your babies. We had 6, lost 2 the day of those really bad storms. No idea what happened to them, I was out in the rain for an hour searching. These 4 are amazing though! Barely even need their momma, they'll up and leave her and follow me to the food. It's...

    My Cornish X experiment

    Sorry. I thought I replied. I had one typed out, must not have gone through. I read the entire thread. Best I've ever read on BYC, besides maybe the guy with the game bird dads that care for chicks. I was rolling though. Brutus sounds awesome. Maybe Ruger is his cousin. Still haven't weighed...

    My Cornish X experiment

    No, actually she's a light brahama. She's bottom of the totem pole in her crowd, so I think she just likes to be the boss of someone. My rooster is a barred rock though, and he actually watches over the meaties. He positions himself in the middle of the yard, so as to watch his girls and watch...

    Anyone know of an atwoods near Tulsa that has chicks?

    My Cornish X experiment

    Sorry to hear it. What's one more day, eh? We lost 4 more after the initial 11. There goes any profit I had. Something ripped the staples of the wood, then opened the new house thing I had built them to sleep in. Oh well. They're all getting fat and staying healthy. Caught the raccoon...

    Quote: I don't know how to do the @Kyzmette thing, so I improvised. Anywho. Here's some more pictures for you. We've got the last one in the brooder. It's trying to hatch. About 3/4 out of the shell. She's up and around with the rest of them. They all look like the same breed to...

    Actually it's my daughter's teddy bear...Hahahaha. I took that chick out because it was awhile ahead of the rest, and I was afraid she would abandon the others if this one needed food and water. It was lonely, so I gave it the bear. (S)he thinks it's momma. lol!

    This is Bagel. First of 5 babies from under our broody. (S)he hatched on day 14, and we have another fully out, one fighting with the membrane, and 2 more pips. So 5 babies by day 16. The eggs are from Kyzmette, and we're guessing some must have been sat on for a few days at her place. Anyone...

    My Cornish X experiment

    I have a 3 sided box at the end that they sleep in. It must have lured them out somehow. I knew to begin with I should have enclosed it on 4 sides with a door. Just didn't think anything would happen. Especially after 6-7 weeks of nothing..

    My Cornish X experiment

    Well...walked out to 11 dead bodies this morning. So frustrating. Something just reached through and ripped the heads off. Didnt eat a single bite. They were all spread around the edges of the tractor. Whatever it was did it for sport. Idiot. Honestly, I don't even care about money. I'm really...

    Early Hatch?

    I wonder how soon you can take them out? This one went from pipped to completely out in about 4 hours. I had thought it would take longer than that.
