Okies in the BYC The Original

[Okla-doodle-doo]

Hey Al my wife and I caught crabs on our honeymoon! Not THAT kind Cuban!lol.

We were on bolivar Island off Galvastan and behind the beach house was a canal and we caught them using a chicken neck on a string!. The boil outs were great!

Hey Stimp did you see K T on the Olympic ceremonies? Boy she has gotten heavy! Its even harder to tell what sex she is too!lol

I like her when she does Roy Orbinson's songs.

Faeri Got your gun loaded and ready for tonight? Remember you have to drag inside the door!Lol

If Carla is already getting lots of turkey eggs, I am jealous. I have yet to find a single turkey egg.

I have found a couple of guinea eggs though, so that is encouraging.

We got our first turkey egg today. At least, I think it's our first turkey egg. It's in a combo pen of Narragansett turkeys and mixed marans. It isn't much bigger than a marans egg, but it is almost white with light speckling .... looks like a turkey egg. I'm calling it a turkey egg

Our turkeys have been mating for over a month now & toms are fighting each other. The birds all think it's springtime. It sure felt great outside today other than a sweatshirt was too hot to wear today while catching, holding & releasing 300 birds. OK, I admit Gerald helped too.

We've only gotten 2 guinea eggs so far, and both were in the mud. So, I tossed them. We'll be selling the guineas this spring when prices are up. They aren't are favorite birds, and we really need to downsize.

Who all is going to Cement on Saturday night?

almost white with speckles certainly sounds like a Narragansett turkey egg. It may be a first time turkey hen egg that will get larger. Of course, your maran eggs are pretty good size so then again, maybe not much larger.

I am planning on going to Cement tomorrow night, unless something changes.

I'm trying to decide if my neighbors would hate me terribly if I got a few runner ducks.

P&B, I went the website that you said you were going to order from, and could not bring up a catalog.

Nevermind. Just checked. The catalog button is gone and there is a note on the homepage to contact them for a catalog.

Sorry sweetie we missed you but we got swindled into going to a items auction in Chickasha and we picked up some things for our selves and we had alot of fun and enjoyed ourselves.... We made out with an antique oil lamp... a small igloo ice chest for jason(a new lunch box for him).. a wall clock that sounds off like a choo choo train on the hour... a few head rags for Jason and our son when they go ride the Harley and Jason was able to pick up some clear plastic sheeting that you use to allow light in your barns or shop( the name alludes my mind... I am tired)...

But believe me our son was wondering why we werent there at Trivets tonight for the cat fish...

Teach and Doc,
I talked to a guy today at the state basketball tournament and he was showing me some pics on his phone of a gas line eruption near Slapout. It killed a bunch of rattlesnakes that were denning around the pipe.

Thanks Doc for posting the pics. That is way too cool.
Did you watch the Cyril girls at State. They won again beating Forgan tonight and made it to the finals.

Apparently, I am on their mailing list, because I received a price sheet from them in the mail. They have runners in Black, blue, chocolate and fawn & white. Each runner duck is $3.77 straight run or for an additional $1.50 per duckling they will sex them for you. Shipping is "free" but there is a $7 small order charge plus a $1 charge for each variety of which you order fewer than 15 ducks.

She was great at the olympics. I didn't know she was Canadian. She never was that easy to look at tho.
