Shout out to Tulsa people! We are new here, just picked up our coop from Craigslist today, hoping to have chickens soon! Going to try to get a picture up in the next few days. It is a cute well built little coop, a lot less headache than anything we would have built ourselves LOL! Does anyone know a reputable breeder in the area for black copper marans, amaracaunas, or leghorns? I've got some leads from Craigslist (one in Claremore one in BA) but I would prefer a referral so we know we are going with a good breeder!
Man the honey crop nearly killed me this year and now we are jumping straight into chickens with both feet!
Not poisonous that I know about, at least they never hurt out goats, they LOVED them almost as much as persimmons, however if you milk your goats they will make the milk undrinkably bitter.
You know, I had that happen with that pullet! I just thought I had missed one egg the day before, lost in the shavings I had in their nest box.
Hey Monty lives in Choctaw!!! Have you hollered at him?? Lynn
Soooooooo cute! How are Nigerian Dwarfs different than Pigmys?

This wind in Oklahoma can affect your egg production, I have noticed a drop in egg production in my flocks when we have really windy days, I think it stresses out the hens and they don't lay, your hens could be starting a molt also this time of year, and if they are you won't get many eggs from the ones that are molting for about 30 days, Lynn
