Lil'Sooner :

Good evening everybody!!

Hello, SO what are you taking to the show this week?​

hey monty how u doing?

 

[NeilV]

Hello fellow Okies,

I had a really bad day in the chicken dept today. My wife let the flock out for some free range time, and, even though I live in the middle of Tulsa, a group of coyotes swept in and ran off with all three of my Australorps. They left my other four chickens, Production Reds, alone.

In addition to changing the free range schedule and expanding my run, I'd like to get some replacement adult laying hens that are less than a year old. I don't care if they are show quality, just need dual purpose, calm production hens.

Anybody have any for sale or know a reliable seller in the Tulsa area who does. I see some 10 month old layers on Craigslist, but I don't know who to trust when it comes to selling sick and/or old birds.

Any advice would be appreciated,

Neil in Tulsa

I have lots of extra eggs Carah but don't think I can get them to you in time, ANYONE going her way from Stillwater area!!!! Big Question for yall! I had a friend once that put his eggs in a refrigerator before he set them in an incubator and he had good hatches, Has anyone on here tried hatching eggs that were refrigerated first???? Lynn

I gave half a dozen guinea eggs to a woman that had been refrigerated only two or three days. They all hatched.
