Okies in the BYC The Original

[TheBarnSwallow]

Hey there Neighbor Al,

Do you know if we need a building permit out in our neck of the woods? Since we are not exactly with in town of Elgin? Curious to know.

PS: Is it possible to go to the POOPS without needing to be overnight? Is it cool to go for the day and chill?

Edited for flaming. I see you are new here. You may want to review the BYC Rules . ~Lisa~​

No you do not need a bldg permit at all, I didn't even need one when we built our house, So hammer away. besides the eastern county barn is right down the rd from you, and the County Commisioner is a roping buddy of mine.

Thanks I thought so, but had some folks try and tell me otherwise... Good deal... I should have asked our good friends who have lived here for a long time...Wayne Keiser(farm bureau member)... But thanks for response...​

The last of my hatch is now in the brooder, so I know what I'll be bringing to POOPS. I will not be setting eggs again until after POOPS, so if you're interested in any of the following, PM me and we'll negotiate. DH prefers I return from POOPS empty handed, but he will settle for some number less than the 38 I'm leaving here with.

Here's my disclaimer: I'm not any good at determining the sex of a chicken until it crows or lays eggs. Everything I'm bringing is straight run.

4 Mottled Houdans (Muesky/Rebecca - You are first in line if you want these)
11 Gold Laced Cochins
10 Barnevelders
6 Barred Rocks (some have dark legs, a hatchery trait?)
2 Speckled Sussex
Poultry & Bees and I already worked a deal for my 5 Polish chicks.

Well got my auction fix today. Boy its was hot there too. But it was the biggest sale of the summer!. I got here just before 8:00 am and I was already placed in the middle of the sale. My pigeons didn't sell well. I couldn't get them sold on Craigslist either so I guess I was the only one that liked that breed. So its proably a good thing that I sold All of that breed out. No use keeping something that won't move in the market. But I sold a belgian quail hen with 7 chicks and she did real well . I bought a trio of SQ black cochin bantams and a pair of self bule belgians. They are beautiful too!. And I came home with a little extra in the pocket book so I guess I did okay.
They had some shetland sheep there that were very good quality. And they only sold for 35-40 dollars each! I was just sick,I want some so bad. But Dw says no place to put them. I suggested the backyard,I mean hey!But no go. Pigs brought 35-40 for 50-60 pound feeders(I want some of them too!) Bull calves brought 50.
Good hens were still in the 7-9 dollar range,fancy bantams 10-15-each. Ducks were down but there were no topknots like I was looking for.
But it was a great day and enjyed all the bird and people watching!Lol. (Theres some strange ones of bothe in Tn?KY!Lol

Wow thanks for the info, I think I may have found it here at spencer feed, Guy told me he was out but would have some in about 2 weeks. Is this your neighbor? I was so excited to have found it here! I'll go there for supplies now. What are you feeding your flock?
