***OKIES in the BYC III ***

Anyone in here that went to the Coweta sale last Friday evening that might know who had all those nice LF cochins. It was the part of the group that had some for a lemon blue project. I bought a couple of birds out of there but could kick myself that I didn't buy more. I thought at least I could get their contact number since their business card was on the cage but then forgot to get the card when we moved the birds. Trying to get a hold of some nice LF cochins. My husband saw some at shows and said that if he could rasie those that he might give me a little less grief about my 300 ducks. I have chickens even cochins but mostly hatchery quality used to incubate my harder to hatch waterfowl and a few eggs for the table but just not the quality that he wants to be HIS project. No telling how many pens I could get him to build if I could track down what he wants. I know I have a shot at getting some from Jim & Patti Zimmerman when I go to Kansas next month but am trying for something closer. Looking for LF Black Cochin (would consider White or Buff) since I figued this would be good colors for him to start with. Prefer breeder quad but would also be happy with chicks or hatching eggs.
 
Jack's 2nd hair sheep ewe picked a nice day to deliver and has 2 healthy lambs! I'll post some pics soon.

i have been contemplating getting my incubator out and getting started on hatching but I remembered I already have 2 "incubators" already warmed up. I stuck 5 eggs under my 2 stubborn broody Mille Fleur Cochin pullets. Since they aren't laying they might as well be doing something else usefull besides looking pretty.
I speak from experience, looking pretty all the time is hard work.

Keystone Waterfowl, I don't have any help for you except to tell you that one of the McGehee brothers in Tulsa has an excellent line of Cochins. I also live at Keystone near Tulsa. Maybe we're not far from each other?

I have one of their cards I pulled off of the Golden Cuckoo Marans that I bought. Let me run out to the truck and see if I can remember where I put it. I know the lady if from Jennings. Be back in a couple of minutes.
 
Donnie, how big do the Buttercups get, I saw a few at Blanchard a few weeks ago but I'm not sure if they were bantums or not. I'm thinking of getting some.
