    Weird/Bizzare/Funny Road Names

    I always get a kick out of some road names. Makes me wonder what the inspiration was for some of them... Tater Ridge Rd. in southern Ohio (someone liked their potatoes?) Turkeyfoot Rd. in Erlanger, KY (why not Chickenfoot Rd?) Anyone else?

    Dumb question about DE

However we were never really able to get good, fat breasts on the birds that maintained their thickness from the crop to the end of the keel.

    Hello from Ohio!

    Hello everyone! I've been lurking for a couple days now but finally decided to join. This definitely looks like my kind of place. I'm a ten year veteran of 4H (Madison County) and did poultry for a good many of those years, winning a few county and state awards along the way. I've had...
