Okies in the BYC The Original

The doors will be framed 2x4s covered in welded wire. They don't have to be open because the entire door, with the sole exception of the frame, will be wire. Picture a screen door. Replace "screen" with "welded wire". The thing will never be "shut". The question is regarding side windows and vents, not the sliding door... which will have to come off.

Yes it did. I've been reading it and still thinking about getting some birds to give it a try. Just enough to stock our freezer. I'm not sure I want to go the expense of getting setup for processing, we're not looking to turn it into a money maker, just want good food & want to try to avoid the chemical chickens at the market.

So I guess at this point I need to find a processor before I go further.

Well, you're in luck. There is a chicken processor between Tahlequah and Peggs. Raymond Jones, the DARP Foundation, 918-207-7181. I think that is pretty close to you, isn't it? Far as I know it is the only professional chicken processing place in Oklahoma. If it is even still operating, that is.

I finally checked where Claremore is. This deal I'm getting in on probably wouldn't work for you, seeings this guy I am getting my birds through lives down near Lawton.

I just cut/pasted this to a document. I'm beginning to think it'd be better/easier to do two of these. Thanks Muesky

In that case, why are we still awake then? Are we supposedly not as addicted? Oh no! That means I'd have to get more chickens! I can't get more chickens yet... I have to get this stupid coop/shed/whatever thing all worked out and planned and done!

Let me put it like this. J has threatened to make me have to go to the auctions on the bike (Harley). Says that there wouldn't be any place to put a chicken to get it home! Isn't that mean??

Quenston. Sorry i missed you.
Check out Norman for motels. It is only about 15 miles fron Blanchard and is on your way back home.

Edited to addd:
I just read your post about finding a motel sorry I was too late to help.
