***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[NanaKat]

what hubs did is set 2 2 x 4 about 4 inches apart, pour concrete in it, set the fence in, it sets in an hour, then it needs 3-5 days to cure,



it has held up well, even with all the rains-

Robyn...What supports the fence to keep the chain link fencing standing and stretched? Are those like dog pen panels?

Tonight Mary decided to roost on the hay block behind Minnie.


Minnie has struggled today...she wants to get up, but can't without help.. Her front legs are much stronger than her hind legs. She is strong willed.

i'll get some more pics- but he pounded rebar into the ground, made a concrete form of pvc pipe, and filled it with concrete-

Most hardware stores sell a tube for concrete forms. Comes in different sizes and can be cut to length desired with a handsaw.

Does anyone know where I could find some royal Palm and bourbon red turkey chicks in the OKC metro area?

Our little Minnie passed last night. We were expecting it because she was losing strength. That is the sad side of Farm Life.
Mary was sitting on Minnie when we checked on her early this morning.
When Momma cow would come in to look for her calf, Mary would cluck at her. Mom seemed to know the calf was gone too.
Mary stayed in the stall all morning after we moved the calf out.
A bit ago, I moved Mary from the stall to the brooder room with the water cooler into a nest with clean straw from the stall. She clucked to me the whole way from the stall to the nestbox.
