Hello!
I'm Tanya AKA osulops. I used to breed and show french lops when I was in college at ok state, Go POKES! Anyways teaching and raising a family makes it difficult to work with rabbits the way that they need, so I gave them up.
The chicken coop has been done for a while now. I'm finally...
hello all! Caitlin sold her extra roos this morning! Berr wants to add a couple of LF young laying hens to the coop. If you have any, let me know. variety and breed not important. Don't know if we will make it to poops. We are still waiting on our softball schedule. Anyways, hope everyone...
I have 4 (2 roos and 2 hens). They are pretty friendly and laid back. My 3 yr old son has no trouble handling them. The hens have been laying for the last 2 weeks (they are just now 5 months old). Mine are laying a nice egg 2 days on one day off. The roos are very pretty. We have ours up for...

we could if we had an incubator. the brahma eggs would be crossed with prod red. I doubt the jap egg is fertile from what I've read. I'm sure when caitlin gets her sq japs and rir we will get an incubator and get busy.
We are getting eggs! We've been getting eggs from the reds for awhile now. This weekend the brahma's started laying and today we got our first japanese egg (very very tiny). Now what will we ever do with them all!
caitlin decided to part with three of her btw. if anyone close is interested, she wants $5 each. they are not sq. they have some good color but no type and legs are too long.
thanks
Tanya
caitlin has decided that she is ready to part with three of her btw jap roos and the two production roos. She wants to keep her btw colonel even though he is not sq and get a trio of sq japs. She also decided that she wants some sq rir. So any help would be appreciated. She decided $5 would...

thanks jen! I did not know the japanese national will be in shawnee this year! Sooo exciting. I would like to get at least a pair for caitlin to show now until then. We met a guy at our county spring livestock show a few weeks back who said he might be able to help us, but haven't...
My daughter loves the japanese breed. She has some btw from a hatchery so they are too long legged for show but good color on her roo. I'm looking to get her a good sq trio, but that might be nearly impossible in OK without shipping from somewhere else. oh well, she really loves them and...

I think a poultry club is needed here. I've thought about trying to start or revive one, maybe combine it with rabbits. Don't really know, but I do know I'd need someone more knowledgeable in poultry than me to work with. I know right now caitlin is exhausted and still ecstatic!

Caitlin had fun this morning at the show. She was the only cloverbud showing, of course there were only two other kids showing today. Very small turnout. Anyways the judge said caitlins cockerel had good color and decent body. needs shorter legs and better breast. one of the pullets had a...
we washed a couple of chickens today for the first time. Not too hard to do. I was really worried about doing it. For those of you that are really good at it, is there a way to dry the chicken without feeling like your ruining the feathers? We patted and stroked with a towel in the direction...
Day two and another egg! I wonder when the other rir hen and the brahma bantam hens will start laying? Joseph got to carry our "egg basket" out to the coop and was extra careful walking slow back to the house so he wouldn't lose his egg. Too cute.

She will have her first show saturday morning in purcell at the county 4H spring show.
Great! You'll have to update us all with her results
I'll pass on what the judge says to her. However because she won't be 9 yet, she will be showing as a cloverbud and they do not get placings...

Has Caitlyn gotten to show her birds yet?
She will have her first show saturday morning in purcell at the county 4H spring show.
Evenin' all! Sounds like there was another great show this weekend! Caitlin is working hard getting ready for her first show this saturday. She is excited. I just wish she didn't have to show trios, oh well we are still cloverbud for a few more weeks. I think we are well researched for the...
