Okies in the BYC The Original

Just a litle note for all coming to Shawnee,
The weather guys change their forecast everytime they are on.
The latest I heard this morning is that there is a small chance of freezing drizzle late Friday or early Saturday.
Just wanted everyone traveling to be aware.
On Monday the Saturday forecast was sunny and in the 50's then Tuesday it was Partly cloudy and upper 40's.
It changes by the minute so stay tuned.

I am going to Blanchard, I am taking my wife out for our anniversary and I want to take her someplace she has never been before.

A chicken auction would definatly be a first for her.
She'll be sooo surprised!!!

You are such the romantic! Just think...an opportunity to meet the Mrs. Moses...doe people tell her how sorry they are for her and what a saint she must be when they meet her for the first time? My wife glares at me and always asks what have I done this time. I just smile and remind her that I have always been me...she found me this way.

Well guys...It's like 4 degrees with the wind, and a balmy 19 without. The sunshine is deceptive....Love playing with chicken water in extreme cold!!!

I was laying in bed last night about 11:00 and the weather said it was 10 degrees.....was worried about banties. Those chicks I got while y'all were at the fall poops.... I have a heat lamp in the center of each coop to keep water from freezing....I was thinking what I should do is go out and shove all the chickens in the north coop and add a second lamp in there. So on went all the farghing clothes ya gotta wear when it's 10 degrees out...layers and layers of stuff that is filled with so much static electricity that my hair was on end when I was done. Tromp... tromp...tromp.... out into the cold dark night....Spend half an hour jerry rigging the lamp so it doesn't fall accidently and I have a broiled chicken stand instead of a coop....another half an hour stuffing south coop chickens through pop door between coops. (Note to self: Hens do NOT like being stuffed in the middle of the night.) It was all very loud and high drama....

So everyone is ticked off, and very awake in the north coop, but I am satisfied they are not going to freeze to roosts overnight. Shut the whole deal up. Back to the house....tromp...tromp...tromp.....Peel off layers of clothes....More static electricity....finally get in bed an hour and a half later. Laying in bed. Thinking. And thinking. What if the roos fight? What if the little ones get mauled by the big ones? What if I didn't put the light up well enough and the whole contraption burns down? Maybe they were better in the coop they are used to? What about what Al said about hardening off? Who wants sissy chickens? Back on go the clothes....tromp...tromp...tromp...the hens were so glad to see me again (NOT). More like what? More stuffing and bawking....tripped over the feed and made a mess (cursing) Another hour later.....tromp...tromp...tromp....Mike kept mumbling in his sleep...something about turning off the light and going the h3ll to bed.....by the time I was done I had wasted about 3 hours and my hair was so full of electricity I could have powered a small town....


Ah.... the joys of chickens.

I haven't hauled water yet. Gonna go in just a wee bit.

Sooner, You are correct, It would be my last anniversary. She would kill me on the spot.
So no I won't be at Blanchard Saturday evening.
Dining at some Posh restraurant I am sure.

Although so as to follow the theme and thoughts of the day, I will be having chicken.

Depends on where we go, is the Chicken Marsala at the Cheesecake Factory FOO FOO or manly?
I will probably go with something more along the lines of Pecan Smoked Cornish Rock hen.

Very romantic! Be sure to buy her a chili dog. That way it will be dinner and an auction, the best kind of date night.

We'll probably be crashing that party, too.

Hello Dear Okies,

Brrrrrr it is cold outside. My car almost didn't want to start this morning taking the daughter to school. Then I had to hurry and come home and jump back in bed under some warm heating blanket. I said I needed the sun yesterday and now it is here, but it is not doing its job bcs I can feel the cold coming through the house.
