***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[DustyDave]

54 acres in Tulsa!!! My sounds like a great location. I would start w/ the crow collar early, I tried putting one on my grown roos and they laid down like the were dead and wouldn't get up. I tried it several times w/ the same results. Mine are NN so that might make it a little different since they have little to no feathers under and around the collar.


The eating boys you may find you need to process ealier then you would like to keep crowing down. Some crow pretty young.

WOAH, sorry .54 as in, slightly larger than half an acre.
sorry

Do the collars really work though?

I was talking to a neighbor and mentioned I am going to get a few hens and wished the city allowed a rooster, they said that no one has ever said anything to the couple of other people that live in the same block that have them so thinking I may have to see if I can get away with it

Welcome fellow newbies!

I expect the collars depend on the individual bird.
Noone's apparently complained about the neighbor's from a block away. Talked to him. His neighbor also says it didn't bother them as much as a dog "that" way.

Most reports that I hear say it does work, the only thing I hear negatively is that if you have multiple roos it can make them more aggressive to each other b/c the hackle feathers are disrupted over the collar making it look like the roo is puffing his hackles and challenging the other roos.

Does anyone have young chicks available in the Tulsa area? Or know if atwoods still has them? I'm trying to get my broody hens off the nest. (My rooster is about 10% effective right now, so no chance of hatching our eggs.)

Attwoods should still have some

Atwoods in Shawnee still has them so you can give them a try.

How long after you can hear the peeping will they hatch?

Hi Betsy! My hubby is there pretty often but Char, Lukas and I are down in Texas. Char is doing great. She is about my height now and 14 years old. How have you been doing? Does your hubby still do the TV thing. I have one he can have if so.
