Thank you, too Mamapoppybee. It is amazing, the girls are very sweet little birds. Hope the reds made it OK, they were acting crazier than I have ever seen! Think it was the heat and maybe they knew they wouldn't be back in their humble little coop and run. Don't know... Hope Oakieridge likes...
Hi fellow flockers!
Hope today finds you well and cool! Would anyone be interested in having two NH/RIR red hens? It appears I have been turned in again because the current president of our HomeOwneers' association called and left a message on my ans. machine. She was asking if I know about...
To all the good folk who were at N.E.O.C.S. on Saturday.... and of course all the birds. ... Thank you for braving the heat and all other obstacles to make it such a fun and enjoyable day. After all is said and done, the "first time" is never quite what one expects, is it? I would like to...
Navi723 - Kim Okies! This bunch of folks are so kind and so good. They share their love of chickens freely with encouragement for newbies and enabling for all. They are awesome and it is exciting to think that NEOCS is so close!! Really, you should come - its only once a year. But then there...
Monty, Thank you for carrying the 3 red roos for Oakieridge. I so enjoyed meeting you and those few others who were there so late in the afternoon when I finally showed up. Thanks to everyone who organized and ran different events and things so POOPS would be a success.
Sooner, if you would...
Hi lynnae1,
I'm not a pro chicken person, but we use DE for just about everything. We mix a bit in with crumbles (food grade only), we spread it out where there are ant hills, we put an occasional shovelful in the chicken run for them to dust themselves, and most importantly, we spread it all...
What a beautiful baby goat! I almost want to have one in MY backyard! Of course that would be harder for my neighbors to overlook than all those boy Orps you picked up yesterday, Coral. Think I'm in the wrong neighborhood? Yup, a farm would be good.... ...
Well, they sure are purty birds anyhow, those swedish flowers. I was actually looking them up for Cathiesue from Collinsville. Don't think she'll be at POOPS. She was asking about any of them being in Oklahoma. It would be nice to find a local breeder so we'd have a little more reasonable resource.
Was just looking up Swedish Flower Chickens and found Greenfire Farms advertising them as unsexed chicks for $19.00 each. Of course they have several other exotics too - but for soooo much more! For instance unsexed day old Jubilee Orpingtons for $199.00 each. Think I'll just stay with...
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 -...
Speaking of Oven Cooked eggs: Out of curiosity yesterday, I got out the muffin tin and put 6 fresh raw organic eggs into 6 muffin cups and put them into the oven at 325 degrees for about 30 minutes. Took them out and set them on the sideboard to cool and thenpeeled them. To my surprise, they...
Beautiful! Iris are among my very favorite flowers and the photos are great! IRIS ROOTS = what a terrific idea for POOPS silent auction! I'd certainly bid on them! We have a lovely front garden but the early bulbs have all spent their flashes of glory. The roses still are going strong, but there...
