Okies in the BYC The Original

We don't show...yet. We bought 28 buckeye chicks that are products of two great strains. The intent is to show at some point, but I'm still learning the ropes, asking a lot of questions and going to shows to "see how it's done." so those are the center piece to our little farm. We hope to start raising and selling both chicks and eggs in the next year or so.

We have three roos, 2 black Australorps and a mixed EE. Those were bought for a "teaching aid" my dogs went to the neighbors and helped them get rid of their chickens....that was a costly mistake for them, but we made good friends with the neighbors because of it....anyway, we got the roos to be around my dogs and teach them chickens are not for them to eat....I think the training is working, but not enough to turn the dogs out yet.

The guineas were bought as keets in FEB, when old enough they'll be free range to help with the tick/bug here in the woods....

That's the story....

Evening follow OKIES, Just checking in and letting you know how my first hatch of the year went.
58 chicks
6 Bantam
2 turkeys
Got 10 turkey eggs that I think I killed. I ended up going down while sing with the chore last Sunday. The EMT and the hospital said the Holy Spirit got a hold of me. They said I must not have been listening cause it got me good and hard. I was in the hospital until Wed. I was half out of it Sunday and told Don to move the turkey eggs to the hatcher and set a new tray. They should not have been moved over there until Thursday and so far only 2 hatched.
So, I am still great at chickens and bad on turkeys.
I have a new dog. He is a LG and is huge. He has been very well cared for and fixed. He had been abandoned in Mo at a Buffalo ranch. She raises them ( the dogs) and her dogs run him off and he keep coming back. She put an add in the paper and said if no one claim him, he would need a new home. She has chickens,duck and buffalo plus grand kids and he did fine with them all. I got him and he weighs more then I do. So, he walks me but he really does what I tell him. He is snowy white. I need to buy him a brush because he been well groomed. I name him Hecter because he one heck of a big dog.. My grand kids love him even Kai the baby. I will try and take pictures of him. Hope him and my other big dog will learn to like each other. Sarge is the problem not Hecter.

It has rained off and on all day and is raining hard right now.

Carla my banties are out of the ones I got from you and have the feathered legs. One of them is brown the others are black.
I promise Aurora I would get her some white ones and some frizzzles. So, if someone has some at POOP I want some for Aurora. She is really looking forward to coming and playing. Plus getting more chicks.

morning guys!! looks like it can dry out today... i usually like rain, but having to have the ducks in the living room cuz they aren't ready for cold kinda changed my mind on liking rain this weekend....

rant break...
does anyone have grown kids that criticize ya because your 'antisocial' mind you- my daughter and family moved to tulsa, its better for them and her hubby- but now she is upset cuz we don't see them.... so i suggested they come down here and visit....nope- says her van couldn't make it down the road- sigh..... so now we are at fault- grrrr... and don't get me started on her opinions of keeping chickens- betcha if they were horses she would have a different tune...ok, back to your regularly scheduled programming....

Good Morning Everyone. It's another wet and soggy day here. Wish it would dry out. Oh well do the best we can and go on.

Grace...congratulations on the Pic of the Week. It was so cute.

Hope everyone it getting prepared for POOPS. It's almost here. YEAH!

CARLA, I don't think there is a way to get dark blue (brown/blue) eggs, because of the way egg shell genetics work, if you cross a brown egg layer and a blue egg layer you will get a green egg layer
