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. featuring song and dance numbers w/ live music and skits, along with a wheel of misfortune.
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 and a special raffle for the kids.
7. and for the first time our very own Live POOPS Poultry Auction.
8. Printed programs of the days events.
9. POOPS T-shirts and possibly hat's & visors for sale at the clubhouse.
10. POOPS Grand Prizes, 2-6 mo Golden Feather Memberships to the BYC.

12. Awards ceremony with ribbons to recognize our young 4-H & FFA & Poultry show winners and county & state fair winners.

and much much more!!!!!!!!!!!.

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.

Hello everybody,
Just wanted to get on line and say hi. Been so busy with work and getting ready for the cooler weather I just have not had time to surf and respond like I want to.
Went to Atwoods in Norman today and guess what. They had polish crested chicks. Of course I bought some, and they also had two silkie babies and I bought those as well. I did leave some if someone in the area wants to go get them. I got two that seems to me golden laced, two buff, two that look like splash and one white one. The silkies are probably splashes. I feel so lucky which is a total change for me since last week really sucked.
Lost two peachicks, two peachicks died, my ferret passed away and my daughter was robbed at her job last night. So finding some of the birds I have been looking for was quite a lightening of the day.
It is only 28 more days til POOPS and I am so counting down the days. Very excited about getting to hang out with all the cool chicken people who do not look at me like I am a freak when I start talking about my birds. I am trying to get some cool bags made out of some of the chicken fabric I have been hording to donate for the raffle.
Of course the bags will not compare to the quilt (which I want badly just like everyone else).
Well I am making fried tators & onions and veggie kalbasas, Yum Yum. Doing a long of on the phone damage control for my daughter and a friend who is really having a difficult time so not sure I will be able to get back. Hope everyone has a good evening.

Grace
do you know if buff O Roosters are any more agressive towards people than any other of the bigger breeds, I have gone thru about 6 roosters and they keep trying to get in my face... just a couple times, then theyre outa here. I never antagonise them, i walk normally thru them, no reason at all to get ornery.
