Okies in the BYC The Original

[Slightly Cracked]

Has anyone seen Blindside yet? I really think this would be a good movie.

We are back at my SIL for a second go at the food. It is just John, Shaun, my SIL and her hubby and I. So peaceful watching Texas and A&M. The Big OU and OSU game is Saturday at 11:30.

When I have a cold, I stock up on a special tea - you can get it at Wal-mart. (Actually, I drink it pretty much all winter) My granddaughter calls it "icky tea." Personally, I like the taste, but she can't pronounce echinacea, so she calls it "Icky." It's called (can I say the brand name on this forum?)

Celestial Seasonings Complete Care Wellness Tea

It has echinacia, zinc and eucalyptus. If you're already feeling a little sneezy and stuffy, it will help open up your head. It also helps to boost your immune system. I'm not usually one for the herbal tea thing, but this one really seems to work.

Not sure why you would need them sexed (tough to do for a young turkey, from what I hear) if you are trying to raise them for breeding, but you can't go wrong with Carla's poults. Good healthy birds with good genetics.

Which heritage breeds are you looking to raise?

Grace, sorry that I won't see you at the Duncan rabbit show on Saturday. I plan to show a couple of Flemish Giants and then head to Blanchard to see what is going on at the auction there. I know that I will see Michael D. there, but who else will I see?

Hope everyone's had a great Thanksgiving day! I missed out on one this morning, but made it to the biggest feast this evening. We've got two more tomorrow, but one is tamales and one is brisket. Yum!

Gotta go, hubby says we're gonna scope out early shopping online.

Yea its for breeding, currently we are raising Standard Bronze and Narragansetts,

We would like to raise more(for breeding) and maybe get our hands on some Bourbon Reds too and add to the mix... It might be a long shot, it one where we would like to keep a few pairs of each breed for breeding purposes so on so forth if that makes sense...

Then I think Carla's birds would be perfect for you. If you want to make certain of sex, though, you will probably have to wait until they are a little older, but then that makes them more expensive.

Here are some of my heritage breed turkeys. The BR tom on the left came from Muesky and the RP in the back is from nnbreeder, but the rest come from Carla's stock.

I second what Buster says about the quality of Carla's poults. I am delighted with the Narragansetts I have purchased from her.

So is anyone else going to these crazy 5 a.m. sales? Hubby just woke me up from sleeping to tell me he wants to go to one an hour away, but he isn't planning on sleeping at all. And he almost fell asleep coming home tonight.

Why are boys so silly when it comes to electronics? Lol

mg - Do you have any of the silkie pullets left? How much do you want for them? And how old are they?

 

[countyroad1330]

Well Clark just returned successful from the big sales in OKC! I wasn't feeling up to going, but now I'm wishing I had cuz I didn't sleep anyway. Just found out you can order certain things online too, could've been blowing my money from the comfort of my own home!

So what's everyone up to today? Still off work? I'm going to slowly start sneaking up Christmas decorations!

Grace - How'd yall's shopping turn out?

Stimp - Been meanin to tell you thanks for thinkin of me with the MSG free chicken broth. I'm pretty sure that's what my mom and grandma always use.
