Okies in the BYC The Original

If the eggs have been in just two weeks I would be getting suspicious of either the thermostat if electronic or the wafer. Another thing to check is to see that the button on the bottom of the wafer is hitting the micro-switch. Sometimes they will get out of alignment.

If you have the wafer type be sure to keep at least one spare wafer on hand at all times.

that's the big issue, according to the vet, he has not done a Coggins. The last time the horse was into the vet was in February to get his teeth floated (paid for by me) and to MY knowledge, he does not have a Coggins.

I will PM you the name. I don't want this guy being able to google himself and finding this information and know that I'm tracking him down. Otherwise, he may just up and sell the horse.

The horse is called "Max" in the barn, but his registered name is Sonny's DeeLight.

Poultryandbees lives South OKC but I don't know if she has the testing stuff yet.
I know she is certified, bonafied and dignified.

Beth, when is the show? I haven't purchased my NPIP supplies yet, but plan to do that this month. Are the chickens bantams or large fowl? (since I will have to buy some bands)

We are drenched. Lots of rain and storms. We were dry. I am not going to complain. Now maybe we'll be able to afford some hay for the horses and cows for the winter. It has gotten really high($$) and there hasn't been much available. It's tough when you have 12 head of horses and a small herd of cattle. Although right now I spend more on chicken feed than horse feed.

Cleo : yes the price of hay seems to be going the way of oil, the ranchers in our area hold back on selling thinking they won't get another decent cutting. Then I see the hundreds of old rotten bales sitting out there from the last time they ran the price up.

Good morning all. Big okie37 those sure are nice turkens. Wish I had room for big chickens. I haven't had turkens in a long time.

I always liked them.
Had a belgian quail hen hatch off 14 chicks,they are a good mix of pures,EE's ,belgian,cochin,silkies. I like it when there is an assortment!

We are due for the hurricane rains for the next couple of days. Like we need more rain. Well I planted my indian corn and pumpkins to early ,they are ready and its not even close to fall yet. Will have to remember that next fall.Picked another half busel of tomatoes this morning. Guess I'll be canning today!Everyone have a safe and great day!
