We have some acreage in Eastern Oklahoma - South of I40. Land out there - that is farmable - is going for about $2000 per acre. On the other hand, where we live in OKC - one acre lots with no improvements are about $25 - 40,000 per acre lot.

There's a swap in Atoka?

When and where?

Friday, Saturday and some show up on Sunday. It is on the corner of 68/75 and Highway 3. It is the Choctaw farmers market. Saturday is the best day to go.

Wow! Since they aren't day old chicks, that is a lot of birds to acquire at one time! Congratulations!

dachsunds,

Now you have me wondering. I have called them that since someone told my wife that is what they were. Everything I find on the net relating to peach face refers to Love Birds. Ours are lovey enough with the roosters but I guess I don't know what they really are. We just bought some in the straight run bantams at Atwoods several years ago. Time to dig a litle deeper. Thanks for getting me to look further. If I find out how to post a pic I will let the experts help me identify them.

Could use some help identifying this guy. We bought him in a straight run batch at Atwoods. My wife liked the little tuft on his noggin. Turned out to be a very handsome rooster, if somewhat aggressive. I uploaded the image to BYC. Hope this works.

TJ's Na-Na :

And, CubanLongtails heard Pa-Pa say it......"We'll probably see
y'all the end of April." LOL

Yep, heard and witnessed!

T'was a pleasure meeting you, TJ's Na-Na!

Pa-Pa said, "Well, the walking stick and lack of hair looks
like me, but, I SHAVED SATURDAY MORNING !!!!!".....LOL
And, he asked Langshanman if he was going to have
to wear one of those POOPS shirts, too..... The look he
got back was hilarious.........LOL

Gees, I hope the creek don't rise before now and then.

Hope we all get some much needed rain today.

Have a good one !​
