***OKIES in the BYC III ***

Well as you can see, today our first fuzzy butts hatched outof the season. They are all cochin mutts but awfully cute. They will be heading to the auction Saturday with any others that hatch.
Right now I am peeling eggs for a huge batch of egg salad.

The menu this week is egg salad and pasta with sauce and meatless meatballs. Yummy!

awe, they are cute little mutts!!! I can't wait for Jack to get his birds (our 7 year old) he wants banty cochins. We have one buff one that is soooo cute,

I made it to church this morning & back home to run the tiller one more time & of course the belt broke (and wedged) so I didn't get that finished & nothing planted. I did plant three more grape plants so I'm looking forward to those next year. Fed chickens & was abused by one of the roo's. Good thing he is a little thing & a show bird or he would be a gonner. Eating a bite & going back for evening services.......when I get home it's time to make laundry soap & de-bone some chicken.

Sooner next time you get a chance ask Mefordz about the Shamo that ABUSED me twice today

Moved out here from Tulsa. Love it in the quiet. But, never fully appreciated the "wind come sweeping down the plains". Lord, I'm pretty sure my chickens will all be pressed to the side of the coop as I have no trees, shrubs or other windbreaks. Any tips or helpful advice much appreciated.

Ok maybe i should have read down the posts before making mine, me bad.

ask kenneth about his egg gathering this afternoon. he has a BIG oriental of some sort, and the chicken was winning for the first couple or three rounds. but the fat guy had more staying power and a bigger foot!

it was hillarious!

chicken actually did win, he was fine when we left and kenneth was limping around whining about his leg!

it was a kodak moment!

My windbreak for the peafowl pen isnt pretty. I took an in- ground pool cover that is huge-- folded in half & hung it on the corner of their pen. It only covers a very small section (the pen is 28x28). My birds always are in the corner keeping out of the wind or sun. I put it up for a temporary fix, but it has held so I haven't tried to change it.

For a few other pens we put up old privacy fence panels to break the wind in part of the run. Just gives a little shelter on those 30mph days! I am going to work on planting windbreaks around the pens -- but as of right now all trees I planted last yr appear to have not survived & we lost about 100 or so cedars of all ages.

Good idea about the old privacy fence idea. I can grt some of that. A friend is going to let me have some bamboo. Pretty sure it's the invasive kind. Right now the wind is coming straight from the south. Does that ever change?
