***OKIES in the BYC III ***

Jcat--Big Louie may have infectious coryza...try looking for pictures and info about it. It is a horrible disease that tends to pop up in the spring. It also has a rather unpleasant odor...I hope he doesnt have it!

How is Lawton on chicken laws my brother was wanting chickens but said he had to get a permit or something for like 100 bucks?

I would really like to try it. I have Cochins and I know some Cochin breeders use play sand and really like it for keeping their flock's foot feathers nice. They say it is relatively easy to clean too.

Kass...love the little beards!
Christina...I'll bring the shampoo bar recipe...it has great lather and conditioning. I have a few tested goats milk recipes ill bring also. Did I send you the packet I made on soap making? If not let me know and I'll make you a copy.

POOPS this weekend: Looking forward to seeing some old friends and meeting all the new folks.

Will have to post pictures of the hatch from this weekend. Lots of little bearded d'Anvers and tiny Rosecombs as well as some Wyandottes and the last chicks from pen 7 that are a project pen. I have an incubator full that will hatch this coming Sunday.
Today is going to be a gorgeous growing day just like yesterday. Will be moving all the plants to the deck to harden them off.
Hope everyone has a great day.

Of course those of us who have had racoons kill birds will find that balloon thing hilarious...apologies to those who dont...

actually i did find it funny- i always thought coons were cute, till i found the remains of one of my young ducks.... that changed my perspective fast

Quote: that would be the organic ACV right?
lol...when my kids were babies, I had no idea that there was a difference...so either one I guess, organic probably being the best.
well, seeing as organic is $6 a quart, not something i keep on hand- i do use white vinegar for cleaning, wonder if that would work till i get to the store?

coral has graciously offered to be my taxi to poops-

looking forward to it!!

Newest additions to the flock from the past week.
Think I am going to take the 3 GL Cochin pullets to POOPS and keep these. Should have some more hatching this week.
