***OKIES in the BYC III ***

I have a neighbor that works for a vet. She saves the "smallish" shipping boxes and gives them to Jack for his chicks. He has so many piled up that he said he doesn't need any more for a while but I told her that I will take some to POOPS. This conversation was a couple of weeks or so ago, I'd better remind her. She was talking about making a habit of always saving them since they hate to just throw them away and I know plenty of folks that sell chicks.

Carla will more than likely have frizzled things of all sorts, you can't buy her out unless you have a deuce and a half army truck to haul them home.

If Gerald gets his deuce & half running, we'll be bringing a whole lot of stuff ... crammed full

He hasn't driven it since December & the batteries (2) are dead & need to be replaced. Hopefully he get's it going on Friday.

I guess if he doesn't get it running, we could bring a small trailer with all our stuff.

We intend to bring quite a few raffle items.

We have several birds to donate for the processing demonstration (including a turkey and a duck)

For sale will be lots of chicks including naked neck babies and many are frizzle!

Hatching eggs will be available from all our birds.

We'll bring some baby muscovy ducks and lots of baby turkeys of all the varieties we raise.

Oh .... and we hope to bring some of our tame fainting goats that are for sale.

And I have some poultry catching hooks to sell. They are great for catching chickens that get loose! The sweet ladies that came and tested our chickens for NPIP and AI let us borrow their poultry hook & I just had to have a few ... so I bought extras. The hook works great for catching chickens, turkeys and ducks!


I can't wait to visit with lots of Okies on Saturday

I think I have bought eggs from you before...you guys off of HWY 4 in Tuttle?...if so, I will tell every living soul that we had our highest hatch rates with your eggs...if not, we will be buying some from you at POOPS!!

Nice baby, colt or foal? I like your outdoor roosts too.

Now the pretty pictures I promised earlier today:

My Mom loved Spring because it was a time of renewal, so I paint my garden with flowers in her memory.

A garden should be pretty as well as functional

A bashful cow and calf, a compost pile in the background...and the Meeker Sale Barn way in the back.

I concur - eggs purchased from Carla and Gerald are both clean and highly hatchable.

Thanks Ronnie We have all of those and then some...the corn is now up along with the peppers, cantalope, watermelon, pumpkin and butternut. The tomatoes, peppers and squash aren't very big yet so I'll post some photos later.

I am working on a rotating garden/chicken run idea, the coop is the center and the garden spots radiate around 8 per coop, this makes the garden spots 20 feet (actually a little more) deep and at the outer end 20 feet across, but at the inner end 3 feet across. Like a triange w/ the point cut off.
