Okies in the BYC The Original

[faerielady]

Well, since it's raining, my daughter and I are going to work on cleaning the pit we call "home". I'm figuring that I'll work on one room at a time until it's clean, while D gets to focus on her bedroom.

I also refused to bring one of the chickens in out of the rain... they are all nice and cooped, so it's not like they're standing out getting soaked. She just thinks they look "fluffy and miserable". My darling daughter, cochins are supposed to look fluffy... LOL

Poor Monty, I didn't know he was gonna get grief for hatching foo foo birds for me! I just knew that the incidence of shipped eggs not hatching was already high, and with my 'bator skills being severely lacking I didn't want to risk another 0% hatch rate. If he can get even a handful of them to hatch for me, I'll be ecstatic. If he can't, then at least I know that the best tried and there was nothing we could have done differently

LOL, I have to give him a hard time over Foo Foo birds since he gives me the same for mine. We still love him! I hope he gets them to hatch for you. To be honest I wish I had something hatching right now just for something to focus on.

My DD is going to her room soon to find the floor! This week isn't going to be as busy so lots will get done around the house.

Hi yall!! How is everyone? Did I miss something about Al, is he gone somewhere? Thank you all for the prayers, this morning Dakota is doing some better, if he continues to improve today he may come home late today or tomorrow! Matt , Monty, Richard, and Les and all those interested in the Gamefowl, I found a cool site that has lots of prints and poultry books (not just Games but all kinds of chickens) it is poultrynz.com so check it out if you are looking for nice pictures of different breeds of chickens, ducks, pigeons and such.

Cammie, nice pictures

A1, I'm glad you found us

GB23, that is great news that Dakota is improving, I know he has had many prayers!

Mikayla, I forgot you lived in Fayetteville! Did you go to that show about a week ago?

Jiminy christmas, the people who live in my house are such *slobs*. I have to mop the bathroom floor, then will be done in there

I'm trying to decide between the kitchen or the living room. If I start on the living room first, I need to clean the brooder and the parrot cage before I can actually clean the stuff and packing some boxes of spinning fiber to mail out. Ah heck, might as well. Have to clean out the brooder and parrot cage anyway.

Besides it'll be fun to mess with the little chicks

They are almost a week old now and I like messing with them.

So much fun!

Disclaimer: this thread has a lot of very friendly people who suffer from addictions to acquiring poultry, hatching eggs and poultry auctions. This means that we have enablers who would love for you to share our addictions to poultry.

So, having given you the standard disclaimer and warning against enablers, what kind of chickens/poultry do you have and what are you wishing you could acquire?

Oh that is awful! I can remember how crushed I was as a kid when that happened to a kitty we had for almost 5 years. It is heart wrenching.

Thank you everyone. I hate to always be such a downer, but I get the most support and encouragement from you kind folks.

The lady was nice enough to stop, and our neighbor came to get me. I think the lady was crying more than me, she felt so bad. As horrible as it was, it was comforting knowing that there are other kind hearts out there too.

Howdy Okes!!! How's y'all...?

OK...I'm from California....That was definately NOT an earthquake...LOL...I was just looking at my personalized coffee cup that broke in one of the last doozies we had in California...I remember huddling in a doorway with my dog, watching the bed come off the floor and listening to boards snap in the walls.... Nope... don't miss those one bit.

We had a great service in church this morning...our pastor was gone and the youth pastor blistered the paint off the walls...He tought about trusting God in circumstances where you don't know what is going to happen....how applicable!!!

Got all my Gameboy, Bible Study, Tom Clancy crap gathered up for tomorrow so I can sit in the truck for three hours and get an ulcer while Mikey takes his tests...

Hopefully he does good so we can go back on Tuesday!!!

Chickasha here we come!!!

Cammie sorry about your kitty...I hate to hear that...Poor lady...I live in fear of running over someone's pet or worse....Their kid....Our walmart parking lot can be a zoo....

Thank you for honoring us by making your very first post on Backyard Chickens on the Oklahoma, USA thread. I suspect there isn't anyone in Oklahoma that posts on the Backyard Chickens who will be traveling to Europe later this week for a poultry show, but undoubtedly there will be people there from the United States. Perhaps you can ask some of the people attending the European Championship what the regulations are for shipping eggs and/or birds between the United States and Europe.

Edited to add - you have some beautiful cochins
