***OKIES in the BYC III ***

Evening all. Good looking bird Joe! Poco yours are beautiful too. The lights really make a pretty flock. I was wondering why you decided to breed your does to a nubian. I would have thought you would have kept them pure for better selling or do the crosses sell just as well?
It was a nice evening here ,quiet before the storm I guess. Supposed to rain all day tomorrow and then turn cold. But clearing by sat. thank goodness. Its the big fall Amish sale, Been waiting all summer on it. Taking my young chicken buddy with me,he has never been so it should be fun showing him everything. Always like to encourage the young folks to get into the hobby.

Wife got the call today that MIL had fallen and broke her hip! She has surgery in the morning in Ada. We knew this comming and really hate it for her.
 
Sorry about your mil doodle. Do you think they will bring her home to care for her after? Or maybe relize someone else might handle the care taker role better?
 
The dog hasnt struck a track in several night's ..So i got real exsited when i herd him bark ..I grabed the gun an put in a shell ..With the wind blowing it was hard to tel how far away he was ...I could tel he was bayed but didnt no at wat when i got close he was standing way back away from an old shed with junk an brush around it .
So i shine my light an ther was a skunk runing at the dog stomping his feet ..The dog had ben sprayd manny time's an new not to get to close. The skunk was next to his den i could see a big hole back up under the junk pile an he turnd to make a run for it ,, I shot him an the . Beagle whent in an drug him out ..He like's chewing on thim after they are dead ..He sure did stink after that..With the cold wind blowing the game is on the move i go out every night an walk around threw the vally by the house to keep the varmit's under control Seen some coon track's down by the cross over colvert that go's under the road ,So it wont be long an he will be back looking for some thing to eat.
Before i came in i walkd back out to check on the ducks an gease an they had layed 2 eggs..I have one Muskcovey siting on some in the barn ..[[bfran]] talkd to the lady with the qwail an she is realy nice like's her bird;s verry much ,,Give her some name's of folk's to contact..
 
Michael--- Glad you got the skunk before it got something!

If I ran out the door everytime our dogs started up I wouldn't get to sleep before sunrise. They go all night, when they are quiet is when I catch myself opening the door looking for them. Haven't seen a bobcat since May & haven't caught a coyote crossing our fence in a few months, so they can bark all they want.

yep- we rotate our dogs, so there is always one running the property- hard to believe i was worried about their attitude towards the birds- both of them know not to go after them, but it took some work-

got this from a friend in Louisiana, if anyone can help, pm me-

I have several newly rescued chickens, mostly roosters, that need forever homes. I run Kasia's Ark Bird Rescue and am a cruelty investigator for the Humane Society of Louisiana. All are very sweet and loving, but I can't keep them all and am trying to find homes for the ones that my ex husand has and since we split up he no longer wants them. I have several people contact me saying they want roosters for cockfighting, and there is NO WAY I will let ANY of my sweet babies go to anyone who wishes them harm. They are PETS, they are loved and spoiled, get baths and regular vet visits. I can arrange transport to just about anywhere in the US......I have a Pekin drake here at home that I need to rehome. He was an Easter duckling attacked by a dog. His brother was killed. The owner left him in the backyard suffering with a broken wing, dog bites all over his bites and chest and a dislocated hip. She was going to dump him in a river.He had maggots in all his wounds. The vet didn't think he would make it, but he did. He is now fine, but the broken wing is paralized so he can't stretch it. He is bonded to my goose, Willow, but is attacking and tearing up all my Muscovy drakes, so he needs to go where there are no other male ducks. As for my ex, he has Muscovy girls, a few serama roosters that all get along, a few bantams, several hens, I think two Barred Rocks, two RIR, a couple Americaunas, some bantams, a silkie roo that hates me but loves everyone else, and several bantam hens that we ended up rescueing from a neighborhood that was planning on poisoning them. He also has two male call ducks (I think - or one could be an apple something or other.) Two wood ducks, male and female, not tame and I really don't know what else. I'm going by what he had at the house when I moved out. He also has a couple special needs chickens and several special needs ducks. One is a buff orpington, 3 sexlink hens, Also several mixed breeds gorgeous ones.​
