Okies in the BYC The Original

[MAllen]

Mornin Ya'll,

I know this thread moves fast so in case you missed it...

I'm looking for a roo and 3 or 4 hens for my breeding pen. Would like to have pure breed big brown egg layers or Easter eggers. I'm in the Claremore area and would like to find them locally, can't make it to POOPS. If you have some birds that fit please send me a pm.

Thanks,

Matt

Snap your post gave me a well needed chuckle this morning. Most folks buy for purpose than for show or cause they like something. They probably don't even know what they are looking at. Good that you POd them.

Les, I really appreciate your input. This is so maddening. I try tio make sure everything is clean, but not too clean...if ya know what I mean. My straw is pretty old....and it is really dusty. I wish I could blame it on that, but the Snarkies started before I opened up the bale. It started when we got that cool down last weekend. I have given up trying to fix them. Some are just weak maybe and the temperature change was too much for them? My Pollack is still hanging in there... I have way too many chickens right now...left over from spring and hatching....maybe they are overcrowded as well. It is not MG at least from what I have seen of MG...Just seems like an allergy that gets them down then they fade away. Eyes are not involved. Lung, sometimes. They are up pecking and scratching.....just snarking all the time....I don't know if medicating is such a great idea. Last night considered culling. But everyone is exposed at this point and it seems kinda pointless if I can fix em. The dust in the coop was bad when I cleaned it. I am amazed at the dander.....it is everywhere on the droppings boards in the mornings. I have been sweeping it off the last few mornings. I shot the bad ones up with Tylan yesterday. And they are on electrolytes with probiotics in it. Just gotta ride it out I guess.

Yesterday was a tough day. My Mom's roomate passed away. Another lady was in the rest home with her daughter. The Mom passed away also and they jsut found out the daughter has 6-10 weeks to live becasue she has brain cancer. It was just the saddest thing. I got my boo-hoo out of the way Al. One of my big roosters let me cry on his shoulder last night. Big ole barred rock fella...One of the eggs Mrs Squeaky hatched. I think I am going to keep him. He seems to be a decent sort and minds the south coop guys while Rex minds the north coop.

Good Morning everyone,

Another great day in Okie land [I hope] for you all.

Everytime I come here it seems I have dumb question and sure enough here I am again!

Where is the POOPS page or thread???

I pretty much doubt I can come but MAN do I ever want to.

You all go so fast on here I can't get a chance to reply to most ...and then you are off again!! I love it!

God Bless you all and your feathered friends too!

EE is Easter Egger, or in other words a Ameraucana or Araucana chicken crossed with any other breed.
I use leg bands on all my show birds - bantam and large fowl chickens, and large fowl ducks.
I bought mine at various places. Some poultry shows sell them, like at the big show in Shawnee, OK in december. There are also many places online to get them... you just have to know what size leg bands your birds need exactly.
If they are the correct size, they do fit on feather legged birds.
You can simply use different colored zip ties to identify birds for your own purposes

The OKC state fair is the 17-27, but they do not show poultry at all
