***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[shelbydog]

Does anybody know where I can get a Great Pyrenees anywhere near Marlow? The closest I can find is 3 hours away. I prefer a dog 5 months or older but will take a puppy. Any help will be appreciated.

I've seen some for sale on some livestock Facebook groups I follow. I'll have to see where Marlow is.

Rinda - I put off contacting you because the pullet I intended to return has been making froggy barking noises. Pointed saddle feathers are coming in. The comb gets darker every day, and the wattles have doubled in size in the past few weeks. Are we looking at a cockerel?



The birds are enjoying the sunshine today. Fluffy Bunny found a cache of bugs under a plastic tote I moved, and he called to the pullets to come eat. He didn't take a single bite, just watched as the little girls gobbled up the bugs. He's the only sugar daddy in my flock.

HAHA so excited got a new layer yesterday! Lovely olive-green pullet egg from my splash Isbar.

This was her in approx August. She is even more gorgeous now.

Haha yes that is an Isbar cockerel for sure. Not even an Ameraucana. That's OK, I lost the male I was going to swap you for her, just hadn't taken the time to let you know yet....

I don't mind a mix as long as it's not mixed with lab or a bully breed. I have nothing against these breeds but they just aren't good with chickens generally. In fact a mixed breed might be more affordable. Thank you!

Yes, that's Fluffy Bunny. He patrols the barn and yard eating bugs all day. He is not neutered, so he crows quite a bit. I coddled him at first, since he's a showgirl, but he is strong and hardy and thrives when he's allowed to free range with the capons.

Isbars are green egg layers, right? If he covers brown-egg layer hens, will the female chicks from that union lay green eggs?

Yes. It will be darker greenish brown than an Isbar egg. That is how you work toward olive layers- green layer X brown layer and keep crossing back to brown layers until you reach the desired shade of olive. I think just about anything crossed with an Isbar would be stunning!

Should have read further a showgirl, I thought they had big puffs on their heads instead of what ever style his head feathers are, I like his better.
