***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[Matt in Okla]

Well I finished my PVC chicken run. I don't have a coop in it yet. It's fairly easy to move and I braced it so much it's really sturdy. But I won't do it again cause it's WAY to expensive.

Got any pics??

I have a few, but I've always had trouble uploading. I use an iPad and I don't know if that has anything to do with it?

Pullet?

I sure hope it's a pullet. I have 3 similar suspicious red faced BO chicks in my flock of 10 that I bought all at once, and one unmistakeable SLW cockerel. I hope I'm not unlucky enough to get 4 roos when all I wanted was egg layers. Well, I did partially get them as therapy animals for my special needs kids, and they are great for that purpose so far. The buffs are like puppies with feathers. Ha!

I always have guineas. Kept at least a half dozen around at my old house. Moved in Feb now down to 3 know going to get more. 3 of my neighbors have guineas now. I still have ticks.

A friend of mine told me she read a study that said chickens and guineas were pretty much equal when it comes to tick control. Not sure what the source was.

What about fleas? I have chickens and guineas free ranging. But I have to keep spraying the yard and the puppy pen. I let them out to run around a lot.

Pullet for sure.

How is everyone faring the weather today?

No limbs down, but everything is a muddy mess. I heard that large hail and high winds were expected last night, but they didn't hit here. Wherever they did wreak havoc, I hope people and animals are safe, warm, and dry.
