***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[har]

My birds got oatmeal, pears, feed and scratch mixed together with hot water today.

Did you give some of that good meal to them good looking Cornation Sussex also. LOL

Does anybody on this thread make chicken diapers? I don't want to have to need them, because I will be crying for days if I do, but I would rather have them on hand just in case. And I would rather give my money to somebody local than some big company who gets them made in Bangladesh.

I really want to but have not gotten around to it yet.

@Kyzmette and I are going to order from Greenfire this spring if anyone is interested in combining orders to save on shipping.

I DO!!!! Please let me know when so I can throw in my order with yours. I don't know if you want to just meet up and get money for orders or how you want to do it. Just let me know! I for sure have some that I would like to order!

I was on facebook and thought I would share this link:
http://www.takepart.com/article/2012/02/21/are-brainless-chickens-solution-animal-cruelty It is about how they have an idea to just make the chickens in a coma while they are raised for our own consumption to keep up with supply and demand. This is to be more "humane". Its really sad!

Then I came across this photo I thought all of you could relate to:

I think this auction is new but don't quote me on that. Kyzmette and I are going.

Sorry. I always find something to "quote" and comment on right after I already have sent one in. That's awesome! I will be there as far as I know! My husband and I will be taking our kids with us probably since they like chickens as well. If we don't bring all 3 we will bring our oldest daughter. I don't know how many people will be going but maybe I will run into you? I will more than likely be wearing a blue "Scotsfest" hoodie. My husband has a beard and is much larger than me, my daughter is tall and skinny for a soon to be 11 yr old and is a carbon copy of me. That's the best description I can give incase you run into us... I would love to meet you all!

Coral, sign me up for your caponizing clinic, please! But not the processing clinic. Yerrgh.

Okay. You're on the list for March 16th. I'll PM more information soon. If you haven't already, read Kassaundra's capon thread. Lots of good information there as well as planning info for the clinic. We have four seats filled leaving only two seats available.

Yayyyyy! I just hatched.

Thank you, all you Okie BYC's. I couldn't have made it this far without finding this thread. It's very difficult for me to post or even socialize anymore. I want all of you to know how grateful I am. If I ever sound criticizing or even offended, I'm not.
My oldest daughter called a little while ago and I told her I was actually on a forum. She said, actually, one of the reason's she called again(she had called earlier, too) was because she has been so worried about me not getting out anymore. She would love to move here, but she tried it once, and she couldn't find meaningful employment around here, so she commuted for a while. It was really too much for her. I loved having one of my grandchildren here, (I have 12 and 7 step grandchildren). She's the only grandchild I have in OK. I have a son that lives outside of OKC, and when he got divorced she took the kids to Colorado.(MY daughter got divorced and came to OK, from Colorado)
My granddaughter is a poultry person. All animals really, but loves the chickens. We've decided when she's old enough we'll try to get her some show chickens. My daughter seems serious about it, so maybe I'll get out more.

For a second I thought you were talking about eggs, and I was thinking, I didn't remember you talking about setting eggs, then I realized what you were really talking about! lol

It's a good feeling to break out of one's shell.
