Okies in the BYC The Original

[poultryand bees]

Jeannie - is there any chance that Ms. Cruella is laying what might be considered a "pink" egg? Some EEs lay pink eggs and some lay light blue and some lay green eggs. The closer the egg color is to light blue, the less dilution of the EE gene in the hen, is my understanding.

I took an assortment of pullets and young roos to POOPS that were out of some eggs I got at the NPIP class from TJ's NaNa and Papa Bill - and they were a cross of cinnamon queen hens and EE rooster. I have some EE hens that have muffs and lay a beige egg and some that lay a light blue egg. EEs are my favorite variety for personality, but depending on their origin, their egg color can really vary. Keep in mind however that there are only two true colors of eggs, blue and white. All the brown eggs are actually a white egg with a brown cuticle on the outside. The inside of an Americauna egg will be light blue, even if the outside is green or pink.

I'm worried about my Pyrs in that regard. I'm using electric fencing around the place to train them young. Think it will work?

They are all half Anatolian. Do they tend to wander too?

The ones I have been around tend to stay with their charges. To see what the Anatolian should be go to Youtube and do a search for Kanga Dog. It seems that those here in the US are lacking just a tad in their size.

Seriously, though, Monty, I don't remember any establishment on that corner outside the rodeo grounds, and ain't nothin' there but fencing, bleachers, and cows. Are you sure it is on that corner?

Yea I forgot

Most of the stuff we say and do doesn't fall under the proper heading and I really don't see a problem with it but they did tell us that they were already letting us slide on things like that but might have to crack down if we got out of hand.
If I can get some clarification from a mod maybe we can do it another time.

Does this mean No Pie For ME?

If you come to the Blanchard auction, I'll bring you some NN eggs that have been fertilized by one of 3 frizzle NN roos ....

.... now that's a bribe

You and Teva could use a road trip this Saturday, right?

unfortunatly Teva has to work, she is worn out. Shoot she has missed the last three horse auctions at Jones from being tired. Maybe that's the reason behind all this rain?

I am sorry that Teva is worn out, but think of her missing the Jones auction 3 weeks in a row as the source of all the rain....... is funny.

If that is the source of the recent rain, we need to make sure Teva gets a nap so she can be at the Jones auction next week.

Yes, there is a restaurant just NW of the road you turn on to go to the auction. I don't remember the name of it, but Gerald and I went there about 4 months ago and the food is excellent ... or at least it was when we went.

It is on the north side of the highway just west of where you turn to go to the auction. I guess it would be almost across the street from the rodeo grounds.

what color are they and have they been trained as mousers by a good mouser mom?

I never thought about kittens needing to be trained to chase mice until I had some cats that liked to play with the mice, but never got around to actually killing more than one a day. We sometimes get feed at a mill near Bristow and I commented on the difficulty of keeping mice out of the feed. About that time, their cat chased a dog out the door and the employee told me that she is also a good mouser and her kittens are in high demand.

We REALLY don't NEED another cat, but kittens sure are cute and if I could keep my alpha female cat from chasing the kitten off the property........
