***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[Cjarvis]

? The Oklahoma COUNTY poultry federation is the group I was speaking about.
They have not been active for sometime. They do have all the correct bylaws that
they need and all the supply's. They just need some active members. I have some
kids and family's looking for help and thought this maybe a nice way in getting the
ball rolling again.

Ok,
What are you needing help with? What kinds of Clinics are yu looking to hold? Showmanship, prep and care? or just a general poultry husbandry clinic for backyard layer flocks?
Please bear with me I have had less than 8 hrs sleep in the past 4 days and am not at 100% to say the least.

So I was off, lol anyway I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday. It has been a bittersweet day for me
My first hatch ever has yielded me 5 babies between last night and today. I am expecting 2-3 more before its over. I ordered 12 eggs, and 18 were shipped to me. Of those I had one blood ring, one early death and the rest were clear so I am pretty happy with my hatch so far. I'm way excited to finally have them here, the last three weeks has drug on and on.
But this new adventure comes with sadness. My bantam faverolle hen passed overnight. I noticed she seemed lethargic Wednesday evening and put a heat lamp on her and some boosters in her water, when she hadn't gotten better on Thursday i gave her some antibiotics. But my actions were fruitless :-/ as many of you know I cleared my flock for the bantam salmon pair and a trio of blues, well it seems the trio of blues is getting put off more every time i try with them, possibly indefinitely. So my poor rooster is now all alone and was very upset when i left this morning, It breaks my heart to lose this girl and to see him so upset. I am now at a loss as to what to do next another bantam fav girl seems impossible. I was going to get some bantam cochins again and was putting it off until spring but i may have to start early so my boy will have company.
I think I may try to get to Blanchard for the sale tomorrow if i can find time to get there, when does it start and how long does it usually run? Is there usually a good variety there?

Oh how sad! Were those the ones from AR? Her chickens have had some really bad luck lately.
I'll still sell you 2 hatchery Faverolles for what I paid for them ($8 each). They're all wormed and debugged, etc. They're pullets and not full grown and LF's though. Not sure if you want LF's.
My all time favorite Favs are the pair I got from Newcastle and the girl I got from Mike, they're my babies. I guess I'm just sticking with them and not getting more at this point. I don't have great luck with them either.

That is sad.... I hate when you lose one for any reason and when they seem to be sick is just the worst!!

Would love to you to Blanchard tomorrow and have a chat... hugs

Carl...
Not sure but you are right... When need to come up with an agenda.
Maybe a mix up of a few different ideas?

Beth,
let me know what you come up with, and if I can be of any assistance do not hesitate to let me know.
Has the club developed a board of directors, or officers? if you plan to host a show, which it sounded like what will teh club do with proceeds or profits if any? Has a potential show been discussed with the county, city, or county extension office for potential free use of facilities for a kick off?

***UPDATE: Both packages of eggs arrived safely today January 27th. If all goes well they should start hatching February 17th.***

I am a bit late in my intro but I have already won 2 auctions for eggs which will be here January 27th Friday. I am so excited.

I have not had chickens or hatched eggs in 10+ years...

I am a 35 years young woman,single for now which I just thoroughly enjoy my freedom, and live in the Purcell Oklahoma area.

Any questions feel free to ask
