You have found a wonderful group of folks who either live in Oklahoma or wish they lived in Oklahoma.
Disclaimer: Some of the folks on this thread are addicted to hatching poultry, attending poultry auctions and otherwise acquiring poultry. Since addicts tend to be enablers, we may try to assist you in the acquisition of the same habits we have and you may end up with more poultry than you have room to house or a desire to feed.
That said, one of the best ways to learn how to bid at an auction is to let one of your fellow BYC members hold your auction card for you and just bid on anything you want.
POOPS is People of Oklahoma Poultry Swap and we will have our 4th get together in Choctaw on Saturday, May 5. Watch for more details.
I was scared that you would see my stupid moments and take aim!
That is not a lie! *winks*
That's a good definition, I would agree and add to it. I have already shared some of my definitions of stupidity in action
There aren't very many. In a recent survey, 72% of the respondents considered themselves of above average intelligence.
That's a good definition, I would agree and add to it. I have already shared some of my definitions of stupidity in actionI would have to say my all time top winner would have to be pepper spray guy.
that be the one that sprayed himself, or the one that thought he got sprayed!
its not fair, you get to see all the "stupid in action" aftermath's, the rest of us have to read about them in the paper.
Granddaughter's team won their soccor game 5 - 0...played a Norman team.
We went by Lowe's and bought more screws and two screen doors....easier to get the $20 doors than to build them....Pictures of the hen house expansion:
The boys are framing in the east wall. It will have a door where they are standing. I love the PVC wall on the south. We put that in several years ago. It lets in the light, but keeps out the summer heat. The water cooler is already installed in the window on the south..can't see it in this picture. The concrete floor in this side will be easier to maintain. The older section has a dirt floor and deep litter.
In this second picture, you can see the framework for the north wall. The tin wall to the back is the east wall of the existing hen house. Most of it will be removed when the new walls are skinned. There will be a screen door on the right side of that wall leading from the old pen into the new pen. There is a shelf unit already installed on that wall for two 30 x 45 x 24 inch cages with pull out trays. That is a brood cage on top. To the left of that shelf unit is the floor open in the next picture.
This is the floor pen. It will have a screen door. The pen is 4 ' by 6.5 feet..It will have 1' square wire like the cage the first two feet and then 1 inch chicken wire to the ceiling.
We got the east and north walls skinned today and will work on the east door...it will be tin skinned also. Then the boys will finish the electrical, finish the gaps, and we will begin taking out the old wall and install the chicken wire divider and the screen door. I want to be able to cool the whole area in the summer months with the water cooler...made such a difference last year when the temps in the barn were holding at 90 when it was 115 in the shade outside.
Will post a few more pcitures to show the progress over the next two days.

Well I was not happy with the Elgin auction. We bid on a lot of three Barred Rock "hens". One was obviously a roo but we bid anyway. When we went to pay they couldn't find my paperwork. After going back and forth for awhile we found out the guy backed out. He didn't want to let them go for the price. The auctioneer said there was a misunderstanding. We talked to the guy and finally decided on a price I wasn't thrilled with for the two hens. He clearly had them marked as three hens he didn't correct the auctioneer when he called them three hens. He totally acted like it was a roo during these new negotiations. I bought them because my little boy had his heart set on them after all this. I know I'm new to chicken auctions, but I used to go to furniture auctions all the time and I think he should have put a minimum on his birds or at the very least said so at the time of the bidding that it was too low. Everything this man had in the auction he backed out of either at the time or after the auction. I will go back to this auction. It is closer to my house then most of them.The hens are really pretty though and look healthy.

Either one, but I think the guy who spray his own self on purpose was higher on the stupid scale. Then there were the two guys that punished their girlfriends/wives by jumping out of moving vehicles at highway speeds! Boy that sure showed them!!!!!
