Okies in the BYC The Original

[SouthernBornOUFan]

Well let me ask this:

If I were to buy some chicks today - I have a dog kennel (the black wire ones from like Pet Smart) and if I put some carboard in the bars and kept them inside....how long would I have until they need a coop?

The plan is to move in the second week of Feb and a coop will go up that week. (Have the supplies basically ready).

Man that will be great. HAVE you ever tryd that game chicken mix at the Hairra feed mill its just 35 a barrel or 10a sack.

I bought a few bags a while back.
It was too fine for me. Even in feeders they wasted a lot.
I am gonna try and get out to Mary's Saturday morning.
Save some space for a few roosters.
No, not the Cubalaya.

Try calling your cell phone periodically. Hopefully, it is lost somewhere where someone will hear it ring and answer it.

Ask AT&T what your early termination charge would be. Now that you have completed at least 3 months on your contract, they are supposed to pro-rate the early termination fee. Sometimes, when you start asking questions to let them know you want out of the contract, the company will be more cooperative about replacing a phone or finding you a better calling plan. The cell phone business is extremely competitive and companies like to keep customers.

Check on Craigslist for a phone that is similiar or better than the AT&T phone you lost. When you meet the person to get the phone, contact AT&T on the new phone to see if it can be switched to your account. If the phone is tied to an account that hasn't yet had the phone long enough to have "paid" for the initial discount through the length of their service contract, AT&T may not allow you to activate the phone to your account.

Keep in mind that if you decide you want to terminate your service with AT&T and you pay the early termination fee, you are entitled to "port" your cell phone number to another cell phone company, if you want to do that.

Also, try to recall the last time you had it in your hand and anything else you might have had in your hand at the time. I dropped my cell phone in the freezer one time when I pulled out a package of frozen vegetables to take with us to the lake. It rang when I called it the first few times and then it stopped ringing and went directly to voice mail. Fortunately, when I found it a few days later, it still worked.

It should keep just 5 or so chicks to about three weeks to a month of age depending on breed and size of the crate.

Thank you Les...And I only hold kids 5 and under....and if they are sick. Besides, Dad is a coach at our school and I knew I wouldn't get into any trouble. I'd want someone to hold my child if they were sick.

As for that fever.... let me help you feel better....

LOL

Well, I will plan to see you at either Mary's or Blanchard then. I don't think I will have time to get any more honey before Saturday, but will do it sometime soon and will get you some of the cinnamon flavored spun honey.

Thats what we folks in sales call making a cold call!

I am getting one egg a day from 5 quail and confirmed yesterday that 4 of them are male

They killed the one I put in with them - it was a darker color with a white spot under its beak, so I want some that "match" what I have. At this point, my preference would be to acquire about 6 adult females, since I want to have some eggs for a kindergarten class to hatch in March. My second choice would be for someone with more quail than I have to sell me a couple dozen hatching eggs in March for the kindergarten class.

Monty....you could have been nice and kept this darn rain down your way. LOL We need more rain here like I need more chickens. We got stuck 3 times this evening just trying to unload feed. If my DH didn't have his 4 wheel drive I'd still be stuck. I'm so sick of sloppy mud in the pens. I finally just turned my mutts loose and left the gait open so they could find dry ground. I hauled hay all evening trying to give them a dry area. Sure makes me wonder why we have chickens.
