Afternoon all, it has been a long time since I've been here. And I'll admit I'm here with an agenda of sorts. I've got two chickens, down from four. One that is probably a red sex link and a small bantam of "who the hell knows" that came from Atwoods 2 years ago. I'm too busy with a new...

My chicken raising career is not off to an amazing start. The little spotted bantam died last night. No pasty butt, no signs I could pick out, nothing. Just never seemed to perk up and get going like the other four. I'm already feeling the urge for the chicken math to kick in. I'd really...

I've seen guesses ranging from EE's to Welsummer for the striped one. Guess I'll have to wait until she grows up to find out!

Sadly, the spotted one didn't make it. It never thrived like the other four, and died during the night. I was curious to see what it would have grown into.

Well, I went to Atwoods in Sapulpa this morning. Look what followed me home! Two buff orpingtons, one black australorp, and two bantams of unknown breed (any guesses on them?). Their coop still hasn't been started. But now I've got incentive to get it done, right? :P

I picked up chicks this morning. 2 Buff Orpingtons, 1 Black Australorp, and 2 bantams of unknown breed. Help IDing them please? It doesn't matter to me what they are as I had wanted an assortment. If it helps, they came from Atwoods. Sorry for the yellow tinged photos, I didn't use the...

Morning Folks! The weather yesterday was just weird. Was rain while I was leaving downtown Tulsa, was sleet by the time I got home in West Tulsa, and a friend told me that on his side of Tulsa it turned to hail! We needed the rain so I'm not complaining, but those temps sure were a shock...

Morning folks, I hope everyone is enjoying the rain. There was already a large grass fire in the Liberty area so I'm happy we are getting rain and hope we keep getting rain. Would be nice to not have a burn ban like last year. Sadly, the rain has put my coop building on hold. There is a...

Yowza! There are some power lines down in Tulsa thanks to the wind. Now, I'm not afraid of the dark but when you are in a big building downtown and the lights start to flicker you tend to start thinking "I wish I had a flashlight." Crazy stuff out there.

No chicks for me this weekend. Friday I picked up supplies at Atwoods and cooed at the chicks, we couldn't get any though because the brooder wasn't ready and we were going out to eat so they would have gotten cold. Saturday I build the brooder. Today Atwoods only have a few banty chicks...

Yes, but my pile of half done projects all around the house point out that if I don't get some of it done before getting chicks I could be in big trouble. :) Though I'm talking myself into "they could just use a smaller/shorter run until I get the supplies to build a bigger one".

Afternoon Okies! I'm not sure if any of ya'll remember me but I was around for a while several years back. Things at that time forced me to abandon my chicken dreams for a while and I drifted away from the forum. I'm back and I have a plan. I've got some storage space that I can turn into a...

We were there last year. We sat down, talked with an attorney who laid out all of our options. In our state, even with me on unemployment we would have had to file for Chapter 13 which is the debt repayment plan. We left the meeting even more frazzled. It costs money to file for bankruptcy...

I've not had to go through this but another forum I belong to has had several ladies, and they all recommend HysterSisters forums for information/stories/finding people in your situation too. Might not hurt to try. My mom had a hyster, though not due to cancer, and said she wished she had done...

I only get on this board once a day during the week (shhh!, don't tell my boss) and you people chat waaaaaay too much! No way I'm going to be able to keep up. I have a request. I joined this forum to learn about keeping chickens, and want to keep them, but Hubs and I have decided that until...

This makes me want mice so bad. (I also want rats.) But with our two high prey drive cats and dog that is the same way I don't see it being a good thing. But they are so dang cute!
