***OKIES in the BYC III ***

MJ, your showgirls should do fine. Mine are very hardy.

Awesome, I love them and want more. Will you be coming to Shawnee in a few weeks?

@mjgigaxMary Jo, so sorry to hear about Nigel. He certainly had a great life with his family. Prayers for your parents and Joe's father.

Yes, I'll be coming to Shawnee. I nearly didn't get in because they filled up before the deadline. But they were able to add more cages, so I squeaked in. I'm bringing a few youngsters, including some showgirl silkies. Hoping to see a lot of people there I already know!

What's going on in Shawnee?

Never mind. A quick search cleared that one up for me. That's my son's birthday weekend, so we may be in Ada with his friends, but I may try to sneak away.

It's always a nice show and sale. Not quite as big as it used to be when it was two days. Not as many out-of-state people come now, but it will be pretty full. Plus, there's usually a big pigeon show in the other end of the Expo building. I had no idea there were so many kinds of beautiful pigeons!

I'm sorry for those of you who lost pets. It seems to have been a hard year for them.

I want to try making a chicken plucker this winter. GRIT magazine has an article but it requires 12" PVC. Any other ideas or plans?

I got my wife a yorky puppy for her birthday. The only thing I asked was please not on the bed or furniture. That lasted about a day.

I seem to have cut way down on my predator problems with an electric fence about 6" off the ground. Not one of those wimpy ones either. This one is tied into one I use around a 5acre pasture.

So glad you got in!
This year will also be the Wyandotte Breeders of America meeting. Hope there will be some nice color variety shown...including some Columbian.

The son in law got a 12 point buck this morning on our 160 in Prague. He gutted it and brought it to the house and we helped him hang it and clean it. He is going to have the head done English style...white skull with antlers. And I talked him in to letting me have the skin to have tanned for an ottoman. After trimming off the silver skin, there was over 50 pounds of venison...including tender loins, blackstrap, roasts and chunk meat. He is going to make sausage and jerky. I pressure cooked the trimmings for the dogs and chickens.

At lest the Yorkie is small - there are plenty of very large dogs that also get on the furniture and bed!
