*** OKIES in the BYC ***

I'll have to rig something up for a nest box. We always have scrap wood hiding out in the garage for small projects like that. I'll definitely have to try the golf ball to lure them into laying in it. They seem pretty freespirited in their wonderings and I don't want them to get in the habit of laying eggs out in the woods somewhere. I don't know if she was pleased about her egg or not, but I certainly was happy to see it. Our Buckeyes and Australorps lay perfectly fine brown eggs, but green eggs are just fun to see.


I can't say publicly what we used for our nest boxes b/c I think technically it is a federal crime!

Cardboard boxes lines with shredded $100 bills? Wooden boxes filled with Bald Eagle feathers?

There is a certain federal agency that shall remain nameless, but they have a building in every town. They have boxes available for people who use there services a lot, which you are supose to return to them, but sometimes they get forgotten in the back of a garage until stated egg laying emergencies happen requiring their repurposing.

Got back from the auction a bit ago. There were lots of BYC Okies there. Went there to buy some Carla hatching eggs but they were going HIGH!

Came home with one of Al's Massive Monster Birds from his sustainable meat bird project, instead. This is a big boy. My Great Pyr pappa dog was even impressed, took one look and said "DANG that's a big bird!"

And this isn't even one of the end results.

We picked up our processing equipment from Jeannie and Jason first. Our plucker was quite the conversation piece. I have to wonder how many people thought it was going to be in the sale.

Here is what I saw today outside (where else?) a gun show:

In the exhibitor parking area, I walked past a maroon four-wheel-drive pitted out dirty farm-looking pickup. I happened to notice it because there was a Bible on the dashboard. I thought, "huh." Then I saw the two EGGS (no carton) sitting under the Bible on the dash, and I thought "what the...?" So of course I stopped and walked up to get a closer look - they appeared to be guinea eggs. I stood there for a minute trying to figure out what chain of events led to that particular conjunction of items. It seems like something that might be in any number of your automobiles, dear Chicken Friends. Then Jack told me to stop being weird and quit peering into peoples' vehicles. So if any of you were at the gun show in downtown Tulsa today, don't forget to take those eggs out of your truck.

Komondor pup anyone? Found this ad on CL and it looks to me not to be a mix as stated.

I am certain I knew what you meant, but just in case it was one of the other ones... I have "a friend" who also has repurposed such items as you describe.

He took his bible w/ him to the outhouse to read while "answering the call of nature" then when he was finished there he started up the path to go to the truck and gun show when he happened upon the guinea nest and collected the eggs, but didn't want to take time from the gun show to go back to the house so just brought them w/ him.
