I give them kale every day, & have started giving them sunflower seeds for protein. Should I not so the kale daily? What else can I give them for protein?

I thought that too, but we only have the 6 hens. And I never see any of them being aggressive! And the buff orp doesn't have the same pattern of missing feathers.

I have 6 hens; 2 molted months ago & never got their feathers back. One partially did, her skin is at least covered. The other is completely naked on her back. Some start to grow in but then disappear. They all seem completely healthy & act normal, & I haven't noticed mites. What should I do?

Hey everybody! I have a friend looking for bantam trios for her kiddos to show. She said Barred Rocks, but then said she'd take any bantams if they'd be good for what they're doing. We're in Oklahoma, central/south central. I put in pricing because its required, but please let us know what...

Hey everybody! I have a friend looking for bantam trios for her kiddos to show. We're near central/south central Oklahoma, & I've been out of the loop so long that I don't even know who around here has what anymore. Lol. She said Barred Rocks, but then said she'd take any bantams if they'd be...

Congrats on the sale!! Those are my favorite kinds of garage sales, the ones where I come home with animals. Lol. What breeds do you have? Or do you have a free run mix? :)

LOL!!! Love it, perfect name!

Ooh does any have Blue-Laced Red Wyandottes?? Not getting chickens til spring, but would love to see pictures!

Lol!!! Ok thanks Lorie! If the kiddo isn't still at her basketball tournament, we might try to check it out.

mjgigax, thanks for the info!! I completely forgot about Newcastle, I used to go to their shows. loriemarler, I wonder who I could talk to about the Blanchard auction. Do you know where it is held? That is actually closest to us. Ironsights, that kinda sounds like Cement! I love hearing...

Ironsights, its really not much to see. One old street with old buildings. Although they do have a gas station, a pharmacy, a fire department, & a museum. Which is more than what Purdy has these days! Lol

Poco Pollo, thanks for the info! I've been told that Apache has a good auction now, maybe Cement merged with it. I'm close to the Chickasha area (go Fightin' Chicks! Lol, yes that's really their mascot), so the auctions you mentioned are pretty far for me.

Ironsights, are you new to Oklahoma!? Lol jk. It is very small, my dad's family is from there. I used to attend the auction every month, it was a great turnout! margaret8, thank you for the offer but we will pass on the guineas for now. Lol

Hey BYC Okies!!! After 7 long, featherless years... I'm getting back in the chicken business!! I finally got moved back out to the country, & immediately began planning. Lol. It won't be until spring before I get my girls, but I wanted to get back on the board & get acquainted with all the...
