Okies in the BYC The Original

[Stimpy]

Yeah, I went too and bought some junk. I just never seem to have enough junk.

Jim seems a bit abrasive to a lot of people. That speech about commissions, and why they are so high, could have been done better. But, if it will keep the auction from becoming a junk sale then I am all for it. I hate sitting thru 2 hours listening to them take bids of 25c at a time on crap that should have been tossed into a dumpster.

But the catfish wasn't bad, and I got to visit with Kenneth, Jim's dad. I liked his sign over the snack bar; "This isn't Burger King. You can't have it your way. If you don't want it MY way, then you can't have the darn thing."

I'll go again, but then it's just a couple of minutes from my house.

Hi all........ I am soon to be chickenless

, am moving into a stinkin apt with my daughter and her hubby.........expecting a baby this Jan......so a new life for a while.... something broke into our coop at my old house and killed/ate all but 2 of my birds....left the rooster pen alone,thank goodness...... so I still have a beautiful Australorp , young and looking for a new home....free to anyone on here who would like him.. I found homes for the others...... At least I had some of my flock up at the pumpkin patch, so they are still alive.....they have new homes too.......
so if anyone wants the Austrlorp let me know...... we can meet somewhere........
Will you all still love me without chickens?

YES!

This is just a temporary set back. Are you having the baby or is your daughter? Good luck!

Did anyone go to buy chixkens or did you go just for the Halibut?

Monty, am I sensing a Halibut joke in there???

Okie, I'm so sorry about your birds.

Don't worry, they still let me hang around here without birds. And like Taz said, its only temporary.

But with your wording, I'm curious who's having the baby too.

Hang in there, everything always works out, even if its hard getting there. :aww​

Hey, I wish we had met you at the Lexington sale. The fish dinner was really good too. Sure wish they'd have the free dinner again ... that would be more tempting to take off work for. Gerald really enjoyed buying the junk. He sure filled up the truck with it! His truck still has all the junk sitting in it. I'm not sure where he'll put it! Luckily he has another pickup, and then, if it get's filled up, I guess he'll have to start driving one of his old deuce & half military trucks to the auction. OMG! then he'll really be able to haul more junk home. My acreage is already looking like a junk yard.

I didn't have a problem with Jim's abrasiveness, but yeah, I heard others grumbling about him. He's straight to the point and assertive, and isn't worried about offending people. That's not exactly a bad trait to have in this world. I hope his auction is successful.

Okiechick, congratulations on the future grandbaby! We all have to make sacrifices in lives for our families. It won't be long before you move back to a place where you can have chickens again.

Luvs2garden, I hope you're still keeping chickens. I can't imagine any of us going back to a life without chickens for very long.

Even Cammie, aka Countyroad1330 couldn't stay away from chickens for very long!

I so very much enjoy having met all of you, and the countless others because of this BYC Okies forum. It has been a blessing since I've always been shy and somewhat of a loner. Especially since nobody in my family can understand why I like all these chickens & critters!

Well, Okie we just get you back and now you are gonna go get citified.
I am sure all here will still luv you so don't stop posting.
I hope everything goes well with the move.
Does this mean I can stop looking for houses for you?

Carla, Are you going to Blanchard or Jones tomorrow? I am planning on Jones since it is close. I need to sell a few roos but I don't know if I will or not.
Hope to see you at Jones.
Thanks for adding soooo much to the thread.You have been a joyful addition to the group.
Tell Gerald hey and that I said he should get some Madagascars and cross them with your giants. That would be one big ugly naked neck chicken.

I know it has been posted but does anyone know offhand when the Shawnee Poultryshow is being held?
We really should plan a Okies/BYC meeting that day.
Everyone start planning and clear that Saturday on your calendar.

Grace are you gonna show your birds there this year?
