***OKIES in the BYC III ***

Moved from N. Illinois down to Bixby back in September. I got a few Barred Rocks back in October. Originally had my heart set on Silver Laced Wyandottes, but the hatchery I had planned to order from didn't have enough hatch out... I wasn't about to let that stop me from getting chickens, and since the hatchery was sold out for the rest of the season I just went to Atwoods! I've only got three right now, and have two more spots set aside for my eventual SLW or BLRW. Haha. :)

Aside from my new found chicken hobby, I travel a lot for work. I am a horse show photographer, and am on the road about every other week Feb-Nov. I am finding it rather fun to take the camera out into the yard and snap some pictures of the chickens too, of course!

Look forward to being a part of the OKIE thread!

Welcome to the Oklahoma thread and Oklahoma in general! Your story sounds familiar ;) I moved to Oklahoma from southern wi two years ago and I plan and manage horse shows! It's great to see that I'm not the only crazy horse person here :)

morning
 
Morning, Kassaundra, Sooner, mjgigax, and Guest

My recent hatch is active and noisy. I know they aren't cold because they're all over the brooder. They make a lot of noise when they jump off the feeder and land on a pile of brothers and sisters.

We've got a creepy fog outside today. I can almost see the pond, so there's enough light to feed and water the animals without carrying a flashlight. Slow start today... but at least I'm over the worst of the Curse of the Dreaded Tamale.
 
Good morning all :) I'm off to the race track this morning. Brrrrrrr it's gonna be cold!
Mj I love your profile pic. I hatched out one lonely little mfc in a sea of silkies and I'm way excited for the little one to feather out and maybe be as pretty as yours
 
Welcome Jon! It is nice to "meet" you. You will love this group.

My girls were on tv yesterday with Larry the silkie roo...
I am a super proud mom right now. Lyn Hester the host
once a 4-H'er herself wants the girls to come back more
often and bring different chickens...
Love it?
 
Love these little baby pics. Those are soo cute! Thanks for sharing them!


Going back to read what's been posted today but wanted to put up a few pics:
Lots of variety



Could the one on the right be a Blue CW or a Blue Laced?


A few extremes in color and size...

A mixture of CW, Cochins, Blues and SLW...


Someone asked what Rip Rap was... the guy got the job done because we didn't get any rain this week.
 
Oh I love seeing pictures of all the new little fuzzies!!!! I guess I need to take pictures of mine.

Is anyone doing anything special to prepare for the potential storm this weekend? We haven't had any really cold weather this year so not sure if I need to do anything special for my babies or not. I will probably make sure heat lamps are out there just in case it gets WAY cold and give everyone extra hay in their little houses. Hopefully it will just be rain and no ice or snow.

Well back to getting work done, hope everyone has a great Thursday. Last work day of the week for me, yippie!!! Tomorrow will be a busy day of trying to help dh finish up some more coops. Seems we are in the buy the chickens then build new coops cycle, lol.
