Okies in the BYC The Original

OKC is a fine idea, And yes I would be IN, I think if it were better organized we may have a better turn out, it is just that with all the hoopla of the OK chickenstock, From the photo's it didn't seem very interesting, and allot of folks never even got a chance to meet up. the key to organizing a successful event is to get more people involved in the process more contributors and a qualified ramrod to make it all come together. If it were more social and fun, i think these are things we could work on.

Cuban and Goldrose, you got me sucked in, guess I'll have to try it out! I'll try putting my link in my signature.

Found this link while I was browsing, thought it was nicely done: Chick Hatching

ok that's pretty cool when something can create great interest like the russian orloffs with no pics.. man things might get really fun if i actually become computer literate with pics.. don called after they got they're babies home and decided he wanted Pop and his two wives.. he's hard to turn down.. they are really fun folks.. ok grace i'm going to attempt the pictures of the polish in the morning with some assistance Ha ha.. I'm all about helping any way i can if we try to organize a central get together.. with a little advertising we might even draw some new members and swap some good birds...
grace maybe don will post some pics of his new russian babies.. i do so much better at ranch things than i do computer things..

LOL!!!! I clicked on all yours. I'll forward them to my pals. I'd appreciate if you would do the same. Hopefully, we will have some 'hatchlings' soon!

What if we did a central "get together" say at lake thunderbird. I know dirty lake and all but I think I can call and rent a pavillion for under 75 bucks. Would have to ask about it being a chicken swap thing. Thunderbird is the only lake I know good around here. It is simple access off 1-40 and hwy 9. We could go to the Little Axe side as it has RV hook ups and a bit more "family" area??????????

Beth, I would recommend the Hova Bator Genesis with the automatic turner. It's the easiest, in my opinion, to use. I've fought with the still air incubators that you can buy at the farm and ranch stores and I can't ever get them to hold a constant temperature. You can purchase the Genesis straight from the manufacturer: https://www.gqfmfg.com/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=66

I have a still air Brower and made what I call a chick crib wrap, looks like a bumper pad for a baby crib and it wraps around the incubator, has done wonders to help keep a constant temp. Will be putting in RIR eggs this afternoon.
