Okies in the BYC The Original

[quenston]

I know this is very very early to bring this up but................. next spring what would everyone think of having a get together up this way, there is a state park on the rivers/lakes in our area that I am sure that would let us set up there and the sand bass and everything else is a good catch just a thought!!!!

After the very fun and successful spring 2009 POOPS event there was much interest in having a fall event, we felt that we surely must let this fine tradition continue in all it's fanfare. with continued support We will strive to make this event even bigger and better than ever as our fine members deserve only the best. For those of our new members and members who were unable to attend the Okies in the BYC POOPS, it is a family oriented affair, where members come to meet the folks we talk to everyday on this forum, and enjoy the one thing we all have in common our fondness of poultry. This year promises to be one you do not want to miss, and as I stated it will be bigger and better than ever, this year we are planning the following.

1. Food : This year we will be featuring a full pot luck lunch and dinner.
2. Poultry : The usual fanatical buying/selling/swapping of poultry.
3. A night of fun filled entertainment at the clubhouse.
4. Several static displays for your learning and viewing pleasure.
5. small lectures and demonstrations by professional and respected members of the poultry and agriculture fields.
6. A Raffle
7. and for the first time our very own Live POOPS Poultry Auction.
8. Printed programs of the days events.
9. POOPS T-shirts for sale at the clubhouse.
And much much more!!!!!!!.
10. POOPS Grand Prizes, 2-6 mo Golden Feather Memberships to the BYC.

A special operations commitee has been formed and several of our fine upstanding members have offered to give freely and happily of their time and expertise. they will head up the following appointed ares of intrest.

AL (al6517) & Monty (Buckguy20): Commitee chairmen.

Monty and Myself will be posting more specifics and details on these areas in a later post. As always Monty will be seeking Donations for the clubhouse rental and the cabin reservation info at KOA. We tried so very hard to choose a date for this event that would fit 99.9% of are available members, the weather, POOPS planning and reservation schedule, and local and regional events. The good folks at KOA have been so gracious to have invited us back and we recieved some very good positive feedback from are members, that this was a good fit for our needs. As a group we are known for are steadfastness once we set our minds to a task, it is now up to each and every one of us to come together and contact the appropriate principle to offer any help and suggestions, ya'll know the drill. The principle heads will start to post a list of names and services volunteered as it begins to come together in their areas.

So Okies let the festivities begin in the tradition of the most poplular group thread on this BYC forum.

Those who organize the get together get to choose the location

Are you volunteering to coordinate it?

 

[quenston]

Well I could do that but I would want everyone to be in agreement,but once again it was just a idea and not necessarily a POOPS event just kinda a get together with of course poultry being the theme lol

Al:
Don't take it personally, but it looked pretty much like the rest of the state.

It was almost like i was driving around town here. I go to Anadarko fairly often, so it wasn't that much different. It was nice thought, this time I was alone. My DD is usually with me, but she started school last week.

I enjoyed the ride. Gas station in Fletcher actually took my out of town check (had to call the bank first though.) I forgot to get enough cash for gas.

Cops passed by me while I was doing 75 on Hwy. 8.

It was rather enjoyable. I love Oklahoma countryside. It is always pretty.

hi guys- had to brag...this is the second time my RIR has done this, makes me wonder if it hurt??

are double yolks common when they first start laying?

I have one hen that lays one that size almost daily.

They aren't double yolks either.

Curiously I put some in the bator and they are growing too.

Due next week.

My hens are RIR and BSL.
