***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[mjgigax]

I name mine for ease of identifying who I am talking about, but have several that do not have names. If they aren't easy to tell from the others or don't have a personality that sets them apart they usually don't get names.

Me too, if I numbered them; hen 1,2 3, rooster 1,2,3 ect. I would for sure get them all mixed up. It helps me rember who came from what breeding pairing. I will admit I do it for fun too. Names are "creative'.

Sure is cute!

Good morning fellow Okies! Lots to be thankful for,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me about their experiences with Leghorn chickens. Since I started this chicken obsession I've wanted to get the white leghorns. Just curious what others think about them.

Our crazy neighbor is at it again.

Now he is stock piling dead horse carcasses in a washout area in the creek on the north line of their property which borders ours. The carcasses are not buried and any rain or run off from a nearby watershed lake will wash the bones and carcasses down into Sand Creek that runs north out of the property.

This will contaminate a water source for our livestock.

He picked up a carcass from the horse sale barn Sunday and took that back to add to his own dead horses so he may have an agreement with the sale barn.

The smell is awful and the coyotes and other predators are getting fat.

Because this man is violent and capable of doing great harm to us, our neighbors and/or our livestock, I made an anonymous report this morning with the Agricultural Environmental Management Services office. They will send out an inspector. Then called our neighbors to warn them and shared information with the sheriff's office just in case the guy goes nuts after the inspector leaves. Some of our neighbors are relatives of this guy and they are afraid of him and won't make complaints on him. And Hubby has the gun loaded at the back door and I know how to use it if he tries to cause trouble like last time.

Sounds like one big fat mess! And isnt there a proper ordinace on how to dispose of large animal carcasses for this reason?? Im very happy you guys have a gun, because lately, it seems like the whole wide world has gone mad and theres no tellingh ow this situation will turn out! Please post updates, Im curioius as to what they will say about the carcasses. Be Safe.

Ive had two leghorns, I thought they were gorgeous! BUT, they werent easily tamed and they were very flighty. Mine we also a little aggressive. But I have heard a lot of people wsay that the Leghorns tend to be aggresive. Good Luck to ya!

My mom raised 'em when I was growing up. I hated them. They were flighty, and aggressive and just plain mean. They did lay lots of eggs, but they were definitely not nice chickens.

Thanks POCO, I thought I remembered the NN but had forgot about the standard cornish. I didn't realize they layed well.

I will be moving that direction real soon.

I'm trying to find a roo for my two coronation sussex hens. Had one but he disappeared the day before I went to put them up for safe keeping. Guess he's coyote poop by now. I'd post this is BST but they won't let me cause I'm not talkative enough. Don't know how many this is but I'm one closer to twenty.
