Okies in the BYC The Original

That is sort of what I had in mind. The last time we took animals on a Thursday night, we checked them in and then went to Roosters for supper. By the time we got back to the auction they were finishing up on the stuff that sells before the new tack, but I decided that dinner at Roosters was better than the auction.

If any Okies are just now joining us, sorry that you will have to talk to yourself for awhile. This Okie needs to get some shut-eye or I will be like some other sleep deprived folks who have talked about Jersey Giant Rabbits and put their dishes in the oven instead of the dishwasher.

After the very fun and successful spring 2009 POOPS event there was much interest in having a fall event, we felt that we surely must let this fine tradition continue in all it's fanfare. with continued support We will strive to make this event even bigger and better than ever as our fine members deserve only the best. For those of our new members and members who were unable to attend the Okies in the BYC POOPS, it is a family oriented affair, where members come to meet the folks we talk to everyday on this forum, and enjoy the one thing we all have in common our fondness of poultry. This year promises to be one you do not want to miss, and as I stated it will be bigger and better than ever, this year we are planning the following.

1. Food : This year we will be featuring a full pot luck lunch and dinner.
2. Poultry : The usual fanatical buying/selling/swapping of poultry.
3. A night of fun filled entertainment at the clubhouse.
4. Several static displays for your learning and viewing pleasure.
5. small lectures and demonstrations by professional and respected members of the poultry and agriculture fields.
6. A Raffle
7. and for the first time our very own Live POOPS Poultry Auction.
8. Printed programs of the days events.
9. POOPS T-shirts for sale at the clubhouse.
And much much more!!!!!!!.
10. POOPS Grand Prizes, 2-6 mo Golden Feather Memberships to the BYC.

A special operations commitee has been formed and several of our fine upstanding members have offered to give freely and happily of their time and expertise. they will head up the following appointed ares of intrest.

AL (al6517) & Monty (Buckguy20): Commitee chairmen.

Monty and Myself will be posting more specifics and details on these areas in a later post. As always Monty will be seeking Donations for the clubhouse rental and the cabin reservation info at KOA. We tried so very hard to choose a date for this event that would fit 99.9% of are available members, the weather, POOPS planning and reservation schedule, and local and regional events. The good folks at KOA have been so gracious to have invited us back and we recieved some very good positive feedback from are members, that this was a good fit for our needs. As a group we are known for are steadfastness once we set our minds to a task, it is now up to each and every one of us to come together and contact the appropriate principle to offer any help and suggestions, ya'll know the drill. The principle heads will start to post a list of names and services volunteered as it begins to come together in their areas.

So Okies let the festivities begin in the tradition of the most poplular group thread on this BYC forum.

Those are some nice looking phoenix. The Cubalaya are very different, they're larger (and pea combed) and they don't require a special diet to grow their tails (plus their tails don't get as long and they molt).

I've read discussions on phoenix and they require special housing and diets to keep their tails. Napalongtails website has some great information on raising phoenix. Here is another website from a well established breeder of Phoenix in the US.

Here's one of my Golden Duckwing (giros de oro) cock:

He's still young, just a year old so his tail has more growing to do before he reaches full maturity and length.

And my Wheaten (Black Breasted Red) cock:

He's older than the GDW, and from a different bloodline. You can see his tail is fuller and it has a more proper shape.
