***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[Gunmama]

GunMama, definitely a Dark Cornish you have. They come in Bantam and standard size and the standard is pretty hefty. I've got 4 Bantam Cornish that are just flat comical, I really enjoy them.

I really enjoy her. She was really skiddish for a while but now she runs right up to me unless I have the camera. Somehow she knows!!

Mitzi I have only tried a couple of batches of shipped eggs & never had good results. I always bought eggs that didn't have to travel far (AR or TX). Was reading a while back that eggs from neighboring states often had worse treatment since they often travel by truck & not plane. The black chicks are because I also got eggs from another pen of Bills--- but I just realized--- we didn't get any blue or splash! Very odd!

I couldn't drag the girls out of bed today so we didn't make it to Anadarko. Poor Taron got up & said she wanted to go but she looked so rough I told her to go back to bed. DH has duty tonight but gets to have a 3 day weekend. It's our last weekend before he goes back to 16+ hour days working 6 days a wk. We are just going to stick around here & do some stuff for the house I think.
The ducks are very enertaining, they are inside for now.... Going to try & keep them in for at least 2 wks-- I dn want them to be snake food. They are pretty big, but I know our local snakes would still attempt to dine on them.

Well I wrote out a nice long message to share, BEFORE the computer crashed!!! I have an 18 count carton of Brown Leghorn eggs I am bringing to NEOCS, I saved them for a friend and he can't take them so maybe someone has room in an incubator!!! Pic below!!! Lynn

 

[Cjarvis]

I just went through a few birds here, kicked out another 20 young outside to grow some more, and moved about 60 from brooders to cages. Then went and got them started with some nice fresh weeds and turnip greens from the garden.
I also added a few swinging perches for the young birds to use and get better condition as well as breast and wing muscle development. Going to be a busy day around here as I took the day off to get a few things done, may be my last day off for a few weeks, so thought I would pop in and say hello while I was taking a coffee break.

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino]Gold Sex Links are a breed cross using Rhode Island Red males and Rhode Island White females. The female chicks are streaked with red or gold and can be separated from the solid white male chicks at one day old. This cross, which is one of the most popular used in commercial layer operations, is an efficient producer of large brown eggs. This outstanding cross has excellent livability, and mature hens, which weigh 5 1/2 lbs. can be salvaged for fowl meat when their use for laying is over.[/FONT]

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino]Production Reds are a brown egg layer that was developed for efficient production of large brown eggs. Crosses utilizing Rhode Island Reds and New Hampshire Reds were used in the development of this breed, which is Ideal's most efficient producer of large brown eggs.

​

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino]Rhode Island Reds are an old time, well-known American breed, which was developed in the state of Rhode Island. A distinct characteristic of this breed is their horizontal, oblong body, which is deep, broad and long, sometimes described as "brick shaped". They are an excellent dual-purpose bird that efficiently produces large brown eggs. From the time they are chicks until maturity they may have white on the wing tips, but when they are fully matured they should not have any white feathers. Standard weights at maturity are males-8 1/2 lbs. and hens-6 1/2 lbs.[/FONT]

​

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino]Barred Plymouth Rocks are one of America's oldest and most popular breeds. All of their plumage is black and white barred which is the result of the barred (B) gene. Because males are the homozygous sex, they have two barred alleles (BB) and are therefore lighter in color than the females, which are the heterogametic sex and have only one barred allele(B_). They are an excellent dual purpose breed, known for their efficient production of large brown eggs. Standard weights at maturity are males-9 1/2 lbs. and hens-6 lbs.[/FONT]

​

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino]Black Broilers are efficient producers of broiler meat for those who do not wish to have white plumage broilers. When broiler rations are fed, producers can expect to have six pound broilers in seven weeks or less. Since black broilers are more active than Cornish Rocks and grow slightly slower, they rarely experience leg weakness or Ascite, which is fluid in the body cavity. Black Broiler hens are not a good choice for efficient production of brown eggs.[/FONT]

​

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino]Broad Breasted Bronze Turkeys are fast growing double-breasted turkeys, which have the beautiful natural color of wild turkeys. Poults must be fed high protein rations, either Turkey Starter or Game Bird Starter, in order for the bone structure to properly develop, which is necessary to prevent leg weakness and deformities. They are the most popular breed of turkeys for the small farm flock. Their dark color produces a dressed carcass that is not as eye appealing as white plumage bird carcasses because of the melanin pigment in the feather follicles. They do not reproduce naturally since the male's confirmation does not allow for natural mating. Standard weights at maturity are males-25 lbs. and hens-16 lbs.[/FONT]

Their dark color produces a dressed carcass that is not as eye appealing as white plumage bird carcasses because of the melanin pigment in the feather follicles. They do not reproduce naturally since the male's confirmation does not allow for natural mating. Standard weights at maturity are males-25 lbs. and hens-16 lbs.[/FONT]

​

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino]Hatchery Choice Geese is an assortment of all breeds of geese that Ideal hatches which have not been sold as specific breeds of geese. Geese are hardy, easy to raise and seem to be resistant of all poultry diseases, parasites and cold or wet weather. They are excellent foragers, weeders and lawn mowers and can live on grass, water and grit; although, for top growth and egg production, commercial, high protein feed should be provided. Geese are useful in controlling the growth of grass on banks of ponds and streams and various underwater plants. They are extremely alert and honk loudly at the appearance of strangers. When geese are present on the farm, they are a deterrent to snakes.[/FONT]

​

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino]Gold Sex Links are a breed cross using Rhode Island Red males and Rhode Island White females. The female chicks are streaked with red or gold and can be separated from the solid white male chicks at one day old. This cross, which is one of the most popular used in commercial layer operations, is an efficient producer of large brown eggs. This outstanding cross has excellent livability, and mature hens, which weigh 5 1/2 lbs. can be salvaged for fowl meat when their use for laying is over.[/FONT]

​

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino]Black Sex Links are a breed cross using Rhode Island Red males and Barred Plymouth Rock females. The male chicks have a white spot on the top of their heads and can be separated from the solid black female chicks when they hatch. This cross, which is used in commercial layer operations, is an efficient producer of large brown eggs. They have excellent livability, and hens from this cross weigh about 5 1/2 lbs. and can be salvaged for fowl meat when their use for laying is over.[/FONT]

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Production Red Pullet[/FONT][/FONT]

​

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino]Production Reds are a brown egg layer that was developed for efficient production of large brown eggs. Crosses utilizing Rhode Island Reds and New Hampshire Reds were used in the development of this breed, which is Ideal's most efficient producer of large brown eggs. Since they have brittle feathers and because their body size is relatively small for the size eggs that they produce, they are more susceptible to cannibalism and are not recommended for high-density wire laying facilities.[/FONT]

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Rhode Island Red Pullet[/FONT][/FONT]

​

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino]Rhode Island Reds are an old time, well-known American breed, which was developed in the state of Rhode Island. A distinct characteristic of this breed is their horizontal, oblong body, which is deep, broad and long, sometimes described as "brick shaped". They are an excellent dual-purpose bird that efficiently produces large brown eggs. From the time they are chicks until maturity they may have white on the wing tips, but when they are fully matured they should not have any white feathers. Standard weights at maturity are males-8 1/2 lbs. and hens-6 1/2 lbs.[/FONT]

​

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino]Barred Plymouth Rocks are one of America's oldest and most popular breeds. All of their plumage is black and white barred which is the result of the barred (B) gene. Because males are the homozygous sex, they have two barred alleles (BB) and are therefore lighter in color than the females, which are the heterogametic sex and have only one barred allele(B_). They are an excellent dual purpose breed, known for their efficient production of large brown eggs. Standard weights at maturity are males-9 1/2 lbs. and hens-6 lbs.[/FONT]

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Black Broiler Straight Run[/FONT][/FONT]

​

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino]Black Broilers are efficient producers of broiler meat for those who do not wish to have white plumage broilers. When broiler rations are fed, producers can expect to have six pound broilers in seven weeks or less. Since black broilers are more active than Cornish Rocks and grow slightly slower, they rarely experience leg weakness or Ascite, which is fluid in the body cavity. Black Broiler hens are not a good choice for efficient production of brown eggs.[/FONT]

​

[FONT=Book Antiqua,Palatino]Broad Breasted Bronze Turkeys are fast growing double-breasted turkeys, which have the beautiful natural color of wild turkeys. Poults must be fed high protein rations, either Turkey Starter or Game Bird Starter, in order for the bone structure to properly develop, which is necessary to prevent leg weakness and deformities. They are the most popular breed of turkeys for the small farm flock. Their dark color produces a dressed carcass that is not as eye appealing as white plumage bird carcasses because of the melanin pigment in the feather follicles.
