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 are available to order.
10. POOPS Grand Prizes, 2-6 mo Golden Feather Memberships to the BYC.
11. A live reading for the kiddos followed by a Pinata.
12. Awards ceremony with ribbons to recognize our young 4-H & FFA & Poultry show winners and county & state fair winners.

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

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.

Carah (Sooner) & Eulaine (TJ's Na-Na) : Food and Beverages. contact these ladies with your ideas, dishes, and help. A list has been started and is circulating around our thread. It is very important to the success of the event that everybody participates and brings food.

Grace (gracefullbantams) : Raffle. Grace has a seperate thread for raffle donations going and we have recieved some very nice items and need more.

Monty : Kids raffle, contact Monty for your small children raffle donations.

Marybeth (poultry&bees) : Static display's and lectures/demonstrations. Those wanting to seek info on setting up displays or needing guidance contact Marybeth.

Beth (cityclucks) : Entertainment, and Name Tags. The Entertainment is progressing well and promises to be side splitting fun. Now currently forming the Chickendale dancers.

Al (al6517) Carla & Gerald (OKCarla) : Live poultry Auction. Contact AL for your list of what you want to consign to both auctions.

Carah (Sooner) : Tee Shirts- 3 color Designs are now in the works. Carah will start a size and Quantity order thread soon. get your order in early, NO $$$$ will be needed in advance to order.

Monty and Myself will be posting more specifics and details on these areas in a later post. 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.

**************Count Down 16 Days**********************


Hi everyone as you know the fall P.O.O.P.S will be Sept. 26th. It has been decided that we would have a Pot luck lunch & dinner! We are looking for foods that are just as good cold as they are hot.

We will have limited outlets for crock pots if that is something you might be interested in. We will also have limited space to keep things cool between lunch and dinner, so if you bring something that needs to be kept cool make arrangements for that. For some folks that travel you could possibly have your ingredients made and put them together on site. Keep in mind the number of people that will be attending when making your dish or dishes.

We will also need paper goods, silverware & drinks. I have a couple of large igloo coolers that can be used for tea & kool-aid. If you have an one we could use let me know. I will need volunteers for set up before each meal along with volunteers for clean up after.

Please contact (PM) myself or TJ’s Nana if you have any questions or if you need a suggestion as to what you can bring. I will keep a running list of items.

I also wanted to let folks know about a little side note.

Due to the size of this years event Parking will be strictly prohibited in the clubhouse area, unlike last year we "CANNOT" have any vehicles in the circle, it will be really packed up in there this year. You will be able to drive up, unload your wares, and then park in the designated KOA parking area, it is only about 50 yds away. This will help the flow and prevent congestion in that area as there will be 110 people and a ton of stuff.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Good Morning everyone!

I feel so behind not being on the board for awhile. I have been here but haven't been able to post! Hope everyone is enjoying the fall temps! Although I would rather have summertime I guess I will survive. LOL.

 

[luvs2garden2000]

I love the spring and fall weather (just not the rain so much, some is ok but not all the dang time) anyway. I can put on more clothes to keep warm than take off to keep cool. The birds feel the same way.

Yep I could use some help probably just unloading all the stuff I am bringing for the event. Ice chests full of ice(that is if the ice machine is still cooporating) tables, smoker (if I decide to bring it). And maybe the gas grill. Just in case.

Oh I might have a couple more coming Satuday, my daughter(she just loves the banties) and my grandson. He loves them all. He named all my chickens last fall.......................Dylan. Yep they all had the name of Dylan. He can crow like a real rooster.

We were at the Blanchard auction one night and he started crowing real low, everyone around us looking for that rooster that was loose.

I just pointed to him. He is my lil banty rooster.

Shoot girl, get that brisket done before you come so we at least get alittle time to relax!

Like I am one to talk, I now have to run into the city when I get there Friday evening to pick up banties to bring for the auction! For the good of the cause!

 

[andisgarden]

Henny-Thanks for the reply. I just went out to the girls and another one was dead. No coughing, no rales, wheezing,etc.. .JUST DEAD. I will be glad when the necropsy comes in today I want to know what I am dealing with. This really SUCKS! I was wanting to have a healthy happy flock. This is getting to be a deal.

Have a good day.

Hello Okies. Ok, with the schedule finally up it is official, I think ya'll are a bunch of POOPy people. (Just because I don't get to go.)

I hope that everyone gets well enough to go and the weather cooperates for great fun at POOPS. Just dreaming here but if I were able to attend I would have to bring some (probably uninvited) guests; 3 NHR, 2 EE, 1 RIW, 1 Delaware, 1 BCM, 1 cuckoo maran, 1 barred cochin batam, 1 mille fleur d'uccle, 1 black sumatra, 1 white crested blue polish, 1 olive egger---all roos of course. That's just the ones that I'm positive on, see my dilemma?
Quote:
I saw that you asked the question twice and I didn't see an answer. Yes, chipmunks only. They are actually some of the easiest ones for me to distinguish. BTW, I've got a pot-belly pig with your name all over it.

Quote:
I've had pretty good luck from eBay, just watch the feedback ratings. I've had some 100% hatches to as low as 65% one time on eggs from Oregon to Florida of all different breeds. I really can only find the breeds I want from shipped eggs. It is a crap shoot on the PO/handling and packaging. I've had good luck here on the BYC Buy, Sell, Trade also with more reasonable pricing depending on what you want. Good luck.
