Stephanie and Carl - OkCarla - and anyone else with a NPIP hatchery license
I see where there is a new website called backyardhatchery.com and you can list your hatchery on the list - which is organized by state. It appears the goal is to identify places you can pick up your birds rather than have them shipped. There is currently only one listing for Oklahoma - in Jay, Oklahoma. It looks like the annual fee for being listed is $5

the one on the right looks like a pullet to me. The chickens know what they are before I can tell. I can tell which are roosters at a young age before they even start getting good tail feathers, if they puff up their hackles and start squaring off with each other. Otherwise, I have to wait until they start crowing to be certain a bird is a rooster. Sometimes when I am not sure about the gender of young turkeys, I will watch how my tom interacts with the young ones through a chain link fence and that gives me a good idea of the young one's gender.
Since Barney is dancing for CT and not raising his hackles like the fur on a lion, he probably knows she is of the female variety.

Thanks! kind of surprised me, the other one Lily is no question, but CT (crooked tail) has always been a question, sometimes they will have a stare down, but today the romancing dance began...here they all are together, Barney is in the middle, Lily right and CT left

Bought a trio of barred rock bantams several months back, picked them up at the post office.

I got Scooter and his hen from eggbid. They were shipped in a poultry box with hay in the bottom and had some apple slices in there to munch on.

I have to get a new picture of him soon, his tail has gotten even better! Can't wait for the Pryor show.

Cool! Another nearby Okie! So, why the name b52fizzle ???? do you work on or fly b52's?

Yep, turkens are good chickens ... especially if they're frizzles! My favorites.

OK, OK I UNDERSTAND, don't want any, but understand the appeal of NN. BUT, no way, no how do I understand the appeal of frizzle NN.

I just looked on craiglist for the call duck ad. It wasnt on there earlier, she had removed it. I just spoke to her this evening and made arrangements to go pick them up on Friday. That upsets me, she reposted it. Guess I will have to call her back in the morning to see if i just need to go ahead and pick them up tomorrow.

I DEFINITELY agree there's a viral infection going around ... I've had a headache & some muscle aches for 3 days now & it's not one of my migraines and my migraine medicine won't even help ... except for my trusty prescription pain pills (thank goodness). Those pills just make me a little happier than usual

I need to feel happy right now since I have to stay til 2 am again tonight.

I think I'll have MANDATORY OVERTIME all weekend too ... and I'll miss out on the Fletcher auction

And I have lots of birds I wanted to take to sell.
