*** OKIES in the BYC ***

You have found a great place to discuss poultry and other topics. Some of us have decided that turkens or Naked Necks are the coolest chickens around, so if you got a good buy on some turkens at the Chupps auction - it is because some of us weren't there to bid against you.

A pair of turkens sold by OkCarla went for $24 each or $48 at the Cement auction last Saturday night

Several of us have extra turken roosters we could fix you up with. . . .

Looks like we are going to want to pick your knowlege base on some things - like plans for your aquaponics set-up. Some of us like to try a variety of things that will make us more "self sufficient" and I love the concept of a way to filter the water through the vegetable garden.

As soon as I'm an "established" enough member to post photos and whatnot, I'll put together a BYC page that shows our little outdoor operation

We're trying to be more self sufficient as well. If you google "backyard aquaponics" (not sure of the rules allowing links) there's a great site that gave us tons of ideas. Ours was modified quite a bit as we had the existing koi pond, but it will give you a general idea of how it works. I stumbled upon it this winter and was SO EXCITED to get it set up.

i did see one box that said turkens but none of the hens where naked necked so they did not carry the naked jean did i miss them

Well made it back from the doctors office. I'm not pregnant so thats a relief!

Sure wish I felt better so I could be out messing with the birds while the weather is warm. I think I have figured out what to cull down so I won't have so many breeds going.
Welcome to all the new peoples! I'm one of the out of state Okies(temporarily!)
Lil Sooner are you sick too? Did you get a new horse?

Hello all.

I have a request/favor to ask. Grace and I are trying to work out a plan to get some birds from her to me. We were going to meet in Duncan, but I have to work the day that she will be there. Is there anyone that can run a chicken train from East OK to West OK? I can meet on any day other than Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. I can pay Grace via Paypal and would be willing to compensate anyone who is willing to help.


Oh and welcome to all the newcomers.

Well I figured it out, the chickens didnt stop laying they just stoped laying in the nest boxes. I keep a trash can in the coop in a corner to put feed in and they decided that behind that in the corner was a better spot. Found 13 eggs there a minute ago. They are up to 3 days old, so I just put them in the incubator.

There was one small box of 3-mo old naked necks there four of them and one black australorp to make up five - they look to be true naked necks - no bow ties, and they were on like the second row, no tags or marks on the box. They were the ONLY turkens I saw there. I'll have to get some pictures of them. I don't remember you specifically, but that doesn't mean much - there were soooo many people, and after I made my few purchase there, I ducked out for fear of buying more! LOL

My husband and some friends were buying equipment there, and I hung out over there so as not to be tempted by any other poultry

Unfortunately, the big coop was over there, and my husband ended up buying that for me!

Oh! And I was wearing an old tan barn coat, red sweater, white blouse and jeans, have curly brown/blonde hair - maybe you saw me! LOL
