***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[spunkychickenmomma]

I won't make it to poops...but if we can figure out how to get the eggs her way...I got some button quail eggs that I bet would be the smallest, lol!

Hi Bill.
I am going to POOPS and would be more than happy to take the eggs up there for you if you would like. Can meet you the night before at Redneck Corner.

You must be thinking about legislation that governs photographing domestic cats. The Sphynx cat, which is hairless, can never be photographed without scandal.

Well, thanks for the welcome, Elwood! I was trying to find the POOPS info. I thought I might like to meet some fellow chicken freaks face to face. But, I have decided that the folks here must be related to the ones in my garden club because I've gone back several pages and can't find it. I have found almost everything else, though.

So, I'm just reading along, getting acquainted vicariously through y'all's posts!

Seems like a really great bunch of folks here and I'm looking forward to getting know you all. Just a bit of forewarning; once I get started there's no shutting me up!.
I'm just a typical Okie hick myself. I live north of Seminole and stay home with my horses, chickens, rabbits, dogs and cats and one mini donkey. Oh yeah, and the occasional hubby when he makes in.

I'm also the proud owner of 12 (almost 13) grandchildren, all of whom I'm not nearly old enough to be grandmother to. It wasn't bad until I married a man who had two kids, in addition to my two and they all went forth and multiplied-- with great vigor.

Anyway, thanks again for the welcome!

POOPS is coming up on May 5th in Choctaw someone that knows more about the location will have to step in and tell how to get there this will be my 2nd POOPS I really enjoyed it last year and looking forward to it again, A few years ago I bought several bottles of a soap that was being clearanced out at Walmart in the sporting goods department it is used for taking all the odors off of a hunter so deer won't smell you but I tried it on all sorts of things like fish or after you clean a chicken the smells that are hard to get off your hands goes away so I had used it to clean the egg mess up and it helped but is still slightly there LOL

I do need to get some oxine I was going to look into it for using in the coops and incubator to clean things up

DH is still @ work. He called saying they thought they had a tornado on the far side of post where it meets Medicine Park. After the fires & floods the last thing they need is a tornado!

Bill do you want me to bring you some oxine? It will help BUNCHES!

Anyone interested in some Amish Paste tomatoes. They grew kinda leggy & don't look as strong as my others. They are big, just not real thick stems. Should do fine if you plant them in a trench on there side. I was going to toss them, but feel guilty! My sister took some home last wk & they are doing good for her so far. I have several trays of them plenty to share with anyone that wants them @ Blanchard tomorrow or I could even bring them to Newcastle.

The green egg gene is dominant and there are chickens that lay green eggs without having a beard or muff. I have a NN that lays a pretty green egg. We have a bantam hen that is a cross between a silkie and a EE bantam roo. The EE bantam roo hatched out of eggs OkCarla got from Okla Doodle. The silkie x EE hen has bright blue ear lobes and lays a very small green egg. All that to say - cross breed chickens are fun to identify.

Ok, dumb question. I'm not familiar with all the abbreviations used on this board yet, so what does NN and EE stand for? One of the hens looks like a welsummer and the other one resembles a barnvelder. Both are flighty and standoffish and hate to be handled. Eventually, they will both probably go to the sale, but they are consistent layers and I'm in no hurry to "purify" the flock yet! And, the sizzles are something I've wanted to try for ever since the first time I read about them.

They will probably all hatch out with smooth feathers, blue ear lobes and have six toes on each foot!

OMG! That looks like a combination of a dog/cat. WOW

That's great! I can make it May 5th! We have a commitment the next weekend that I couldn't get out of and I was a little worried POOPS would be
that day. I'd rather go to the chicken sale than to a wedding, but hubby is best man and it's a relative and just one of life's little compromises.
Speaking of sales, where/when are these sales at Newcastle and Blanchard? I go to the one at Perkins and sometimes Maud, but don't know
any of the others.
