I probably really only use a little more than half acre. The rest just grass that needs mowing. I've run over 3 toys, 1 hose and almost a chicken so far this year. I get to do it all over again tomorrow.

Are you closing your eyes or what?

 

[JShubin]

I havent mowed a lawn in 5 years or more. probablly closer to 10 years, so it may be harder these days. lol

Haha. Nah just comes down to not paying attention. Some birds don't move cause the grasshoppers wait til the last second to jump away.

Hey guys how loose feathered is too loose feathered for an American Game?
The "WitchDoctor," rooster ain't a manfighter, he was just handled rough. Turns out he was caught in a live trap, beside a farm with hatch, sweaters, and witchdoctors, so he lived most of his life as a wild chicken. I'm happy to say that I got him tamed down. What I am noticing is more/looser feathers under the breast and around the thighs than any other games chickens I've had. I don't have a good pic yet but I plan to have one soon. His leg scales are slightly raised and I forgot the old timer cure for leg mites. All I know about him is that his sons look just like him, and he can spar well.

There's an older video floating around with an interview of Dr. Bryant. It's pretty much word for word whats in that link.

about the legs for some reason Vaseline and ash or sulphur mixed together comes to mind maybe I heard that somewhere. I don't understand the feathers, like they arent laying tight to the body?
