***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[MacGuyver]

Y'all are cracking me up (and giving me ideas) with all your talk about transporting chickens and goats and cows in cars and vans. And here I thought I was being impressive driving back from Ohio with a family of four, all our luggage and nine chickens in a Honda Fit.

Buster if the cages mike has lay flat I can pick them up tomorrow & bring them to Lawton wenesday, when I go to Market.
I never called to see what days & times birds are available. Did you check with them yet? Pretty sure there are thousands available. I could pick them up in the truck just not sure how I could stack them & strap cages down well enough. I would worry about the heat with them in the back of the truck but if I was home before it hit 100 it should be OK.

No, haven't heard. I sent them an email and will let you know when I hear back. Kidding about the 125, but will pick up as many as you and your little entrepreneur think you need. Best to wait on Mike's cages until I hear back. It isn't clear they are even selling them yet, is it?

I agree, but right now I'm looking for something a little faster growing, so I'm gonna pass.

On the chickens they were advertised on the local radio show in the bristow area that features stuff for sale. Last June I know some of the girls on the okie pioneer group got them. I actually found out they were having the sale sometime this wk. a date wasn't mentioned.

Quote: I forgot to add something, but I'll get to that shortly.

Kudzu will grow here in Oklahoma. I planted 2 tubers a few summers ago. It did die back with frost, but began growing back the next spring. However, I planted it in a low spot so I could keep it watered when I planted it. With the spring rains, it was under water for a couple of weeks and it rotted. Apparently they need good drainage.

There is an established area not to far from me in Springdale Arkansas just south of the 412 exit on the west side of the 540 hi-way. I’ve been watching it for years and it’s starting to spread good the last couple of years. (BTW, in case you were wondering, I didn’t plant it)

Now about the above post, my friend bought a run down, abandoned farm. Most fences were covered in kudzu, but still in pretty good shape. This wasn’t in Oklahoma. It was in South Carolina. I don’t think it would grow that ramped in Oklahoma.
