***OKIES in the BYC III ***

Ahh, I thought you were looking for someone who could take care of them right now! I was thinking take care of and rehome. I was interested in Poco's cause I am always looking for a completely black male cat, not that I need one, but that's what my first cat was and I miss having a cat like that. IF you can teach them to not eat chickens I might be interested in them as barn cats and could do that. I'm not sure where you would even start on teaching them to not eat chickens. There is a rescue that relocates feral and stray cats to farms as barn cats I've been wanting to call them, but too afraid they would eat the chickens! I think my husband would shoot me if I suggested keeping another indoor cat.

I've never had an outdoor cat (that was mine) but I can keep one as an outdoor cat here. Do you suppose I could teach it to sleep in the building where the chickens are? I cleaned out that building a week ago and when I moved the shavings TONS of baby mice went flying. Suckers were too fast for me to catch but I tried. My chickens would've loved mouseloaf.
If you could take the other 2, Laura, I'll split the cost of spaying & neutering with you in a couple months. Dr Scwandt in Guthrie does it for like $40 a spay and even less for a neuter.

Yea, I am-someone to take them now lol My daughter's already keeping one and I suppose I could keep one. But this 1st one needs a home, he's the boy. I actually like neutered males the best of all but for some reason never cared for this color pattern. I had a cat for 15 yrs who died a few yrs ago that looked like the 2nd picture. Dang it. And my daughter is keeping the 3rd. JUST when my house cats reach 10 yrs old and there seems to be a cat ownership end in sight stuff like this happens.

i do have a few cats around, well they arent mine but they hang around. never lost a bird to one, not even chicks! i have had more trouble with dogs than cats. i do hunt both at times.

for some reason the cats around here dont eat mice, never figured out why unless it was because we had a norway rat invasion a few years ago.
them suckers are huge! didnt blame the cats for not taking them on, scared me walking around after dark.

125 bucks for a good pellet gun, 10 bucks for pellets, sitting at a school desk in the shade for 4 hours everyday shooting rats, PRICELESS!

someone will have to ask my wife about the GIANT RAT her sister found one night, you would think a woman from the country would know what a possum was. i laughed till i cried! watching a 250 pound woman jump that high is hillarious to see!


oh and the possum didnt make the cut,

However....God has repaid me. It seems all *4* of my Dark Brahmas are girls! After reading a ton about it and looking at a bazillion pictures I agree with the Brahma lady's opinion. But a couple of them are flipping huge so I thought for sure that meant boy. I've never know pullets to be so big at 3 wks, not even my Cochin girls. Here's the pictures I posted. I hope it's really true.
NoCityBoy, were your Dark Brahma girls big when they were chicks?
