***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[mjgigax]

Tysons Chicken Ranch, Lawton Ok, I have 7 welsummer 2 day old pullets, 2,2 day old cockerels and 7, 2 day old salmon faverolle pullets and 2 salmon faverolle cockerels with 7, 2 day old silver laced wyondotte pullets and 2 cockerels . We are going to split them up in groups of 2 or 3 pullets and one cockerel in each . And plan on my grandson and his two cousins showing them at the Comanche county fair and the Stevens county fair this summer. The order should arrive arround February 24. We have been building frantically to house these birds when they arrive. We are doing this for the fun and the competition of showing also the great eggs. We have a 7 year old , an 11 year old, and a 12 year old and of course I'm the older than dirt leader. We hav also hatched in incubator 24 chicks 30 days to 2 wks old of 6 different breeds that we will be adopting out to our other relatives who have chickens. Glad to have found this okie group and am looking forward to visiting with everyone and telling our chicken stories. Ron Tyson,

If I could have a bigger egg layer flock I would surely include Welsummers. My neighbor has them and they are good, consistent layers.

It is with a heavy heart I make this announcement. Rudy the rudester has died. He wasn't sick or unwell acting, his death was sudden and unexpected and did not involve trauma. His life was as full as any rooster could expect, he got to live his life w/ the sun on his face and w/ his own flock of adoring flockmates both chicken and rabbit. He will be missed.

Oh no, so sorry to hear that

So sorry to hear this! I've enjoyed your posts and pictures of Rudy. His genetics are fascinating.

Some feel good pics after my week. The trouble is of all 5 chicks I think all 5 are boys. One of the red ones has a comb that says "I might be a girl" but his legs say "Just call me Caitlyn"
