    He's a roo alright. He let loose his first crow on Saturday morning and blasted me out of bed!

    Should I Call Him Caitlyn?

    No, but I have an Americana hen that absolutely owns him. Between her and 3 Australorp hens, he's lowest on the pecking order by a ways. He's a real scaredy cat too- runs from everything.

    Should I Call Him Caitlyn?

    So this is Jingle Bells. Americana and I think Brahma cross- feathered feet and all. Sorry, a bit blurry. Born April 15 this year, so 26 weeks old. Beautiful long hackle feathers and saddle feathers, upright stance, long tail....But no crowing at all, no bumping, no hounding the ladies....So...

    11 months Too Young To Moult?

    My Australorp is beginning to lose feathers underneath her chin and on her face. She's stopped laying as well. No signs of mites, lice or anything; her appetite's great and she seems just as healthy as ever. Is there a possibility she's moulting early?

    Not going to be a victim

    I just hope that she doesn't get sued civily by the dead dope head's family. Castle Doctrines and Carry Laws are good, but once you open a can of whoopazz on some deadbeat, their family usually comes a knockin. Money grubbin losers usually don't fall far from the tree.

    curious to see who else hunts for deer.

    Got two deer this year one with my .243 and one with my .357 sixgun. I butcher myself, have it down to a science. Skin, cut and wrap about an hour a deer.

    'Tis the season for Tamales...

    Be sure and use real pork lard in the masa. Most mexican stores in my area make their own. Use any leftover lard for making fried chicken! I sometimes use a bit of ancho chile paste in my masa too. I could eat tamales daily. I had some made with sweet corn the other day, they were great. I've...

    Sears and Kmart closings

    Quote: Yup. KameApart is crappy, dirty and full of thugs around here. Sears is dirty, overpriced and is a non-factor where competition is concerned. Like Arby's, I'm surprized they have lasted as long as they have.

    poop boards - whats the best and cleanest way to make and keep up with

    I rotate out boot trays and some of the zillions of bin lids my wife hoards....uh, I mean collects. All are about 14" x 24", made of plastic and clean up nicely. They sit on a shelf 8" below the roost board.

    Seriously looking into raw feeding but need ways to cut costs first

    Buddy up with someone in a restaurant. I'm an Executive Chef and here's what I do- I order from my supplier (Sysco in my case) 40# cases of chicken backs and necks. It's frozen in 4-10# bags and a mere $15. You'd be surprized how much meat is in there. There are many nearly whole breasts and...

    Anyone watch RFD TV?

    Used to get it. Loved The Reno Brothers bluegrass shows, The Marty Stuart Show, Tractor Collections- what a great network. There was a cooking show where the older dude did everything in cast iron over wood fires. He had the dangdest southern accent. I literally could not understand a word he said.

    Did my chicken freeze to death?

    Cut her open and see if she was an internal layer. Sometimes you just gotta find out. It'll look like cooked egg all throughout her oviduct.

    dog nail clipping

    Get a Dremel. Once you use one, you'll never do it any other way. Use the 1/2" coarse drum-shaped wheel.

    Anyone Have Siberian Cats?

    Never been a cat lover, but after many years, my outlook has changed as I've been around some cats that are really fun. I'm allergic as is my daughter, who really, really wants a cat. In my research, I've seen that siberians are about as non-allerergy provoking cats as can be due to a low levels...

    does anyone have a Eden PURE Portable heater ??

    We have had one for 4 years. they are fine for warming up the rec room in the basement. With continued use your electric bill will rise, but hey, wattage is wattage. They are nice in that they have a reliable thermostat and a remote. For a portatble heater, they are about as efficient as they...

    Am I robbing my daughters (Christmas) childhood...?

    Everyone's different at the holidays. You are establishing a tradition. That said, I know an equal amount of people who learned from their parents what to do and what not to do in regard to raising their kids.
