Hey Angie! Welcome to the Okie thread. There will be an auction in Coweta, Ok, on February 17th. It will be at the Coweta Fairgrounds. Birds can be checked in around eleven, I think, but the auction does not start until 6:00 p.m. It's being run by the guy who holds the auction in Stilwell, Ok, which happens the first Friday of each month. Check the Auction Thread to be sure I've got the days and times right. Here's a link:

I'll keep looking in the threads for upcoming auctions!

AllBreeds, there was a pair of Barred Cochins last night that were gorgeous. And that Lemon Blue boy that Rebecca was talking about was stunning-and the size of a Border Collie lol (Well, ok-maybe not quite that big but he was huge).

and that is MINE now. I had instructions from my wife to beg, borrow, or steal to get the pair. Steal I did, do I need to say how I paid for the pair?
People started asking aboiut them as soon as I had one the bid and I missed out on the babies.

The rocks that I buried and the electric fence that I put around the pen is already working. The dogs got curious this am and they found the wire, yelped real load, jumped back and ran home, sit and starred at my pen looking like "what was that".

You got that huge Cochin boy?? Wow, he was awesome! Some birds are worth the extra feed and he's one of them.
Quote:
If he's more brown based, I'd say silver fawn. If blue based, silver blue.

He's blue based so I'll call him Silver Blue

I'm anxious to see what color the babies will be. I'm only going to hatch out a few from them and just plan on keeping whatever hatches.
I got a picture of them in their quarantine quarters, the little girl is just talking up a storm.
The other picture is of the same bird-I didn't know what in the world they were (I got 2 of them) except they were the coolest looking birds. I love their little hats. The other one looks pretty much the same. Do you all think they're probably Polish mixes? I figured Polish mix instead of Silkie mix because of the lacing. They sure are wild looking. Someone else was bidding on them and I felt really bad for bidding against them but I really wanted them. Someone else wanted the Faverolles pair, too. But I was prepared to sell my husband to get them so there was no backing down once I decided I wanted those (which was the second I saw them).
I reeeeaaallly like all these birds I got last night.

That's the ones I was guessing Polish mix lol Wild looking, huh?? They're real calm tempered though and easy to handle.

Welcome Abby! Jump right in ,no way to learn except to ask questions and we all like to give our opinions here!lol

Ksane that may be a fawn or a blue birchen,I'm sure jarvis will know when he comes on. The other to may have some spitshauben in them. That would account for the laceing.

Another nice day here. Sure is hard to believe its jan. but they are talking freezing mix by middle of week. Been cleaning the house and free ranging the icelandics. Staying low profile after last nights coke accident.!lol

I just looked up spitshauben and it sure looks like that's what they're mixed with. What odd looking chickens lol!
You must really be in trouble over the Coke thing, good lord-just how much did you spill??

Where in OK do you live Angie? There's an auction in Stillwater every saturday morning. It's the closest one to me and the ONLY one I've gotten to attend. I hope that changes someday.
