***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[Cjarvis]

Ackkk!! I killed the thread

No you didn't I showed up.. Now i can be blamed for doing it..

 

[Cjarvis]

Now on a more serious note... eveyone please remind me... eggs move to hatcher on Sundays.. No matter how many other things I'm doing this has to be done... I came home to find a whole bunch of chicks in my incubator.. I have a variety that always hatches early and they did now I have a messed up hatch with 3 different matings that I can't identify correctly.. AHH I could or should kick myself.

 

[Cjarvis]

On a more positive note, I have had a great hatch two weeks running on a breed that everyone has trouble hatching.. I'm feeling real good about that. and ken let me get my entries in for the show in pryor so i will get to make it afterall. Will be showing Opal and Columbian OE. Next year I hope for Birchen Rosecomb too.

Army wife-- Michael will have some ladies for you if you are up to driving out this way. Prob take about 45 minutes to get to his place from yours. He always has an assortment of birds to pick from.

She always fusses a little and pecks lightly when I reach under her but in the morning she will get off the nest and doesn't act a bit like she's broody I don't think she stays on the nest all day at least I haven't seen her doing that yet

I NEVER reach under a hen for eggs EVER no matter broody or not. Childhood trauma. Seems silly to me now, but still if she's sitting on the egg I can wait until she gets up, or send Gary to get those eggs.

Carl, between Bantam and LF how many poultry shows on average do they have here in Okla. per year?

 

[RetiredArmyWife]

LOL That is my boxer Brunhilde. I was wondering if anybody was going to notice that. The fence is around the coop. I call it the chicken yard.

I'm thinking Roo also,


I'm also thinking your neighbor's dog isn't a bit camera shy

Yes please! Cement is close enough, but I can't get out there til Sunday. If that is ok I'll just need an idea on prices so I know how much to bring. I only need 2 or 3 hens.

i aint carl but i'll take a shot!

i am thinking somewhere around 20-25, with a few of those being less tha an hour across a border.

some county fairs still have open shows, but i dont count them.

wish i could remember where they are all at, but crs has won out on me.
