There is a woman from Idabel that raises them She sells her chicks at Durant. I wish I had her phone number.

Otherwise, I DO agree that people don't get rid of good stock.

Yeah Donna folks sell chickens for many reasons but ultimately it's up to the buyer to judge the quality, age, hen/roo, breed, color variety, health issues, and some auction houses have better stock than others on a regular basis. That's one of the reasons I go to them so often, to learn look and watch what the quality of the stock and prices are, then buy when the time is right.

Well, NAIS may be dead, but that hasn't stopped our dear legislators in Oklahoma from introducing a bill forcing animal ID on on us on their own. This bill is no friend of the small family farmer or producer. Contact your representative and lets kill this bill.

HOUSE BILL 3421 By: Kern

Morning Everyone. Happy Valentine's Day!!

Peaches- I bought some partridge chicks from ideal and they are really beautiful. Originally I bought 5 with there being 2 roos and 3 pullets but one of the roosters died during the power outages (I think he may have gotten squashed). They are only sold as straight run but the price is only a little over 3 dollars each with shipping. Of course the more you buy the cheaper shipping is per chick. Like I said the ones I got are really lovely in coloring pattern and formation. Ok actually one of the pullets has little mutated feet but she get around just fine.

Al that is awfully sweet of you to fix Laura breakfast in bed. Tell her hi for me. I wish I could have gotten a chance to talk to her more yesterday. Encourage her to come to the next auction so we all can get to know her better.

Well I may go back to bed and take a nap. Did not sleep well last night and am too tired to be motivated to do anything else right now.

Have a good morning everyone!
