Okies in the BYC The Original

Quote:
Poultry items begin selling at 5pm, with hatching eggs and day old chicks selling first. Non-poultry items begin selling at 4pm (I don't think they have gone back to the 2:00 schedule for this sale). So, if you want a goat or some electronics or canned goods - those start selling at 4:00.

The address is 2500 South CountyLine Ave. You turn South off of HWY 62, on the West Side of Blanchard, just West of the intersection of HWY 62 and HYW 76. There is a rodeo ground on the West side of S. Countyline Ave. where you turn. The FFA Bldg is sort of Plum colored and is on the East side of Countyline

Here is the "formal" information about the Blanchard Auction
Blanchard FFA Building 2500 S. County Line Rd.
Jerry 405-623-9293 or Jim 405-812-7552

As Elwood indicated, if you are going to Google it - be sure to Google SOUTH Countyline Rd or Ave. since North and South Countyline do not connect in the middle.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Here's my situation: I grew up with bantams but have been without them for many years and miss them. I'm loving this backyard chicken "trend"! I live in a neighborhood in Stillwater, OK and am in the process of planning to construct, on a budget, a small homemade chicken tractor which will be comfy for two Silkie bantams. I really don't think it will have room for any more than that to be comfortable. And since we live in a neighborhood, I absolutely can't have a crowing rooster. So I'm looking for two white silkie pullets. I would love to get babies, but understand that they can't be sexed early except through mypetchicken.com, which would be $80 for the minimum order of 8, and thus 6 more than I can have. (And they're sold out for 2010 on white silkies). If anyone knows of someone with two white silkie pullets they would like to sell, or if anyone would want to split an order (2 for me 6 for you) of pre-sexed white silkie pullets next spring and is within close driving range of Stillwater, please let me know. I didn't know they'd be this hard to find! But I guess the best things don't always come easy!
Thanks a bunch, Kristy

boy have you come to the right place, Bestyok has some great silkies! I bet she will be along soon to tell you about them, if not just watch for her (or go back a few pages) & send her a PM. She is the sweetest lady.

Here are some photos of Grace at work. Man is it hot in that barn!

We checked out the open and 4-H entries and I will say that Grace did very good.

I will let her post a list later if she wants to.
I still can't wait until tomorrow to see how her birds did. There are a lot of entries this year and they were still coming in when we left at around 4:30pm. The entries close at 5:30pm so it will be interesting to see how many we wind up with.

Coryza, but it is highly infectous and the mortality rate is near 100% on it. If you can get a vet to get you some Baytril that will stop it dead in it's tracks.

Construction on a budget? Sounds like you should also get in touch with Greybear as he is in your area and can probably point you to the choicest places to save a lot of money.

About 4 years ago I took a chicken to the vet that had that cheesy stuff in her eye. The vet removed the cheesy plug, said she didn't know what would cause it - but prescribed penicillin and Baytril. The Baytril and penicillin cleared up the eye, but the expense of the Baytril was way more than I would normally consider spending on a chicken. Baytril is also precribed for pus filled cysts on rabbits and that vet also charged me a lot more than I really wanted to pay for the Baytril. Wish there was a way to get it at a reasonable price.

someone on the OKC craigslist is looking for 2 or 3 cornish broilers to keep as "pets." Apparently they don't realize that broilers are designed to be eaten and their legs don't support them when they get to a certain weight.

Bummer. I lost my first chicken. One of the partridge cochin pullets I got at the last Blanchard auction was dead under the coop this evening. Maybe she refused to stay in the coop with the others during the rain. The pullets haven't integrated well with the partridge cockerels and 2 mille fleur pullets.
