I'm going to sign off for a week or so, all you Okies have a great weekend/week/games/work/camp/whatever. I'm OK or bust in the early AM hopefully.

Feel free everyone to PM with your votes while I'm gone (see signature line).

How are they housed? When I move mine to bare dirt, if they don't start roosting, I lose them. Makes me mad, 'cause I'll be putting them on the roosts and they'll be jumping back down.

Stupid chickens.

They just up and waste away, it's the weirdest thing. Not all of them do that, just 1 or 2 out of a batch and only if they start piling up on the ground to sleep at night.

So I need to get them to roost on a roost and not the ground.
Ok I'll try that.

Grace I have had them off of medicated feed this time and I am feeding gamebird.

I have only lost one out of the first 60 and that was in the first two weeks.
I lost a few out of my second batch.

By biggest losses in the past seem to occcur after they are around six to eight weeks old..
Thanks

The snake was an albino python about seven feet long. The kids had a blast with him. I pretended to be Alice Cooper but none of the kids knew who that was. I am really old.

I know who that is!

I've instructed my daughter about him, Ozzy and a few others.

Teach - Quit dating yourself.....Alice Cooper?...Gees, I had my first
kid by then......LOL And, looks like you're getting storms out
there again.....Take care..........

Around here, when the chicks come out of the brooders and
hit a pen on the ground, at about 4 weeks old, we go ahead
and start the worming process. Then at about 8 weeks old,
we pull them off the medicated feed and go to layer crumbies.
We maintain the worming process for the duration....usually
once a month.....or more often if anybody starts acting droopy.....
Am sure it's different in other areas, but works pretty well
here in NE Oklahoma.

Hope all are surviving this heat/humidity.....and, for all of our
"Fathers" and "Father-figures" ..... HAPPY FATHER'S DAY !!!!!

Have a good one !

Hi everyone, I got the motorhome started and got it home but I thought I was a gonner a couple of times, I managed to drive it on dirt roads and backstreets for 15 miles wile little to none, mostly none brakes, had to suck it up a couple times though, now all I have to do is remodle it and get the motor runnig better!!!
It was a scorcher her today!!
I guess i won't make it to the Prague auction tomarrow, have not had time to build cages for my birds, so if anyone is interested in any of them call me or pm me and we can haggle it out, Lynn

Took me 7 hours, but I disinfected my coop, roosts, nesting boxes etc. everything is spotless. Should lead to a fruitful night of pooping , shelless eggs and whatever they can come up with to make a mess. Tomorrow I am going to get the mist system up.

It's very hot.....

Have 25 eggs for the bator....I think I have 8 roos. 6 from Mrs. BO's batch... and 2 of the RIRs I won at POOPS are roos.

That leaves 4 pullets.

I don't know about the OEGs or the EEs yet....I need a huge cage and a trip to Cement...I don't care what they give me... I would pay someone to take the dang things....Silly roos.
