Hi all,
There are more Okies then I would have thought! And a few from towns I just drove through May 1.

Im in Sweetwater, TX but we are looking at land around the Dustin, OK area. (Im actually a Hoosier, from IN. Moved here nearly 8 yrs ago. My dh was born and raised in the house we live in).

Anyway, just wanted to say hello

Actually, chickens can have "interesting" issues while hatching as well as the incubator. One hen has been setting on eggs since April 5 and another joined her in the nest box this weekend when I added the new Malay pullets to the flight pen. I was going to pull the eggs dated April 5 out from under the hen this morning and get her off the nest since this was her second time to set 21+ days, but there is a newly hatched chick beneath the two of them and one egg dated 4/5 is pipping

I suppose the newly hatched chick could have been from an egg laid by the second hen after I placed the April 5 eggs in the nest, but sure didn't think eggs beneath a broody hen would ever hatch out more than a week late.

Welcome to Okieland, diapermom.

Hey, y'all, is this plucker a good deal (if it works, that is)?

you have found a wonderful group of folks who either live in Oklahoma or wished they lived in Oklahoma

If you had stopped at the KOA in Choctaw on May 1 as you were driving in Oklahoma, you would have had the opportunity to meet over 100 of us as we swapped and sold poultry and visited and had a huge potluck meal together.

I am a Hoosier by birth, was a Texan for about 5 years and am now a 30+ year Oklahoman by choice

I do enjoy visiting Indiana and seeing all that wonderful rich black dirt and those rows and rows of crops planted on flat fields.

Okay, breeding question here...

I have a set of Deleware hens with roo and same for Dark Cornish, running them in separate pasture pens. Because I wanted to play with them for meat crosses, I switched the roos with the Cornish in with the Del hens, and the Del roo in with the Cornish hens. I have now switched the roos back with their hens in order to work on the next generation for the two breeds. My question...

How long do I wait before I can reliably expect the eggs to be fertile from the right rooster? Reason I ask is because I understand I understand there can be an overlap of several days of fertility even after a rooster is removed.

Hello!! Nice to meet you!
I read about the swap just yesterday! Bummed I missed it!!

I miss the pretty fall colors, and pumpkin patches and orchards of IN. We dont have that here....or big trees, or rain. Its so ugly here. I thought OK was beautiful and so green. We went up 75 to 9, so I had pretty scenic route. Im not sure my 15 yo dd and husband will like it there in OK. Dustin is by so much nothing. I grew up in the country in IN..so no big deal to me. I just want out of TX, away from town and close neighbors, and to homestead.

I was wondering though, all the homes we passed on the way there, where do ppl go if they need to go to town (there isnt anything in Dustin) or where do they work since so far from bigger towns??
