***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[Poco Pollo]

I gave coral this little guy, if anyone needs a sweet cockerel- he is a splash d'uccle-

I need to take some more pictures of this little guy. He is friendly and talkative. If you're looking for a little roo with a great personality, this is your guy! Send me a PM if you're interested.

Two more backgrounds finished on the quilt blocks I am still working on.

Your artistic talents amaze and delight me. These look awesome!

The next capon clinic will be here at our farm in Haskell. If you're interested in attending, please send me a PM.

Date: Saturday, October 18th, 2014
Time: 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (One can show up at ten and start with the second group, and leaving before five is allowed : )
The cost for instruction is forty dollars.
We will do a potluck lunch, and I will provide the drinks and cups.

If you have been to a clinic in the past, you are welcome to join us and share your experience. Let me know so that I can have enough work space available. Also, if you want to bring your own birds, I need to send you information to prepare your birds for clinic day, so talk to me soon.

I have tools people can borrow. I have headlamps for loan as well. I also have tables and restraints and cages.

Nanakat that coop is awesome! I have some crates I'm going to convert and I've been looking for inspiration, and you are always inspirational!

Kassaundra, those are so gorgeous. The quilt will be a real work of art.

Kyzmette...glad to help.

Taking a break... need to move a trailer to the 160 in Prague so we can move cattle home tomorrow. Need to wean some calves.
Worked on crate coops this morning. Having the pieces cut and ready made putting the second one together go faster. Took me 45 minutes to put it together cause I had not cut the hardware screens yet. These two have the screens. now..
The two smaller ones are in the barn and pieces are ready.
will buy hinges while we are out today.
Will need Roger to cut out the holes for the doors and nest boxes with the skil saw...shoulder won't let met hold it safely.
I use roll roofing for the roofs. Need to get a roll since I'm down to a 2 foot piece.

You might consider putting awnings on the front to shade the screened section. That way you don't have to close them when it sprinkles or during a summer shower.

Quote: there is a section of 12 x 48 plywood that is part of the roof. It will be hinged to the front so it can be lifted like an awning. Will allow breeze in the heat and cover in the winter. There is a section leaning against the coop in the rear. If you click on the picture, you will see a piece of board that is nailed to the front. It will swing up to support the front roof section when it is lifted.
Also, the plywood cut from the openings for the doors will be hinged on the front and can be closed up at night and secured.

Brilliantly done. How will you clean them? Lift the top and sweep out the front? I was thinking of hinging a whole side so I could use poop boards.

Lol! I do believe I can safely say the big black one is a boy. None of the others even have a hint of a comb like this guy. Could I have possibly gotten that lucky?
