Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!
By no means am I saying feasible...but just throwing that out hypothetically. With the way all the Ag industry is going (monsanto and the like) I'm not surprised we don't have robo-stock by now.

are y'all better off than you were 4 years ago ?
You all throw up a lot to catch up on! Firstly, punditry is what it is. I personally don't care for Bill O'Reilly myself as it's his personal opinion that military disability is considered a handout.

I will say, that in the last four years, I've gained a job, a reasonable place to live, the small...- Geoscba
