Welcome! Your fun with chickens has just begun.

POOPS is a get together and swap that has been held yearly for 5 or 6 years now. We just had one in Talequah.

My head roo is a LF Cochin too. He is the one in my Avitar. He is so good to the hens and doesn't hastle the two younger roos in the free range flock.
I would spray some Vetricyn on the wounds but not use an antibiotic.
The Game has to go.

Thanks, He is crowing and acting normal this morning. I understand that the game rooster is probably lonely and at my place because he wants to be around other chickens, but when he starts attacking my birds, that is when I need to do something. I am going to try and get with the owner to see if he will pen him up or do something.

I think you are about in the right ballpark for our area price-wise.

I found this on an old thread:
§ 10-78. The sale of eggs

A. Oklahoma producers of eggs selling ungraded eggs from their own flock production are

exempt from this sub-article. Nothing in this sub-article shall prohibit the sale of eggs produced on

the farm and sold direct to the consumer. Eggs sold under this section shall be produced by hens

maintained on the farm from which the eggs are sold.

B. A producer may sell graded eggs if in compliance with this sub-article.

Also found several references that if you sell at a farmer's market you have to comply with whatever requirements they have, often food-handler's permit and sometimes other kinds of permits, and usually they require eggs must be sold in NEW UNUSED cartons only (no recycling).  But if you sell out the door to family, friends, and neighbors you are fine as long as the eggs come from your own chickens on site.

Thank you so much! Very helpful!

Don't know if anyone else got rain today, but we sure did. It was absolutely pouring, I look out the back door and find all 7 of our chickens completely soaked and loving it! Haha. Goofy birds.

Wet Morning, Okies!

Welcome to the newcomers!

We're happy you found us. Remember that we were all new chicken owners at one point, so there is no such thing as a silly question. We've all been there, so ask and we'll do our best to find the answer for you.

Theresa and Agatha went to the vet this morning to have their lady parts removed. Theresa is six pounds and Agatha is seven pounds, which was surprising to me because Theresa was the larger of the two kittens when we adopted them from Robin's litter. Theresa is the cat with the white muzzle and paws.


The babies I got at POOPS are growing so fast. This little tolbunt polish chick is sooooo funny to watch. She like to ride in the feed bucket when I let the group out on the grass. No playtime today, though. We're getting a good soaking.
