Thanks for your reply. It's reassuring. There are laws about firing near homes, but frankly, I do not ever take that for granted during deer season. I've heard shots that were way to close for comfort. I have an orange vest the dog in my avatar wears at that time, and she's in a securely...
That's terrible about the ducks. What on earth is wrong with people who would do such a thing? I agree, essentially all of the hunters we're friends with are decent people. Unfortunately, we don't know all the ones who are right around us. When you look at a wild turkey, our domestics are...
Does anyone else worry about clueless human hunters taking a Bourbon Red, for example? There are quite a few wild turkeys around here. One of my distant neighbors is a known poacher (he's bragged to others about his full freezer). I've only got a pair of Bourbon Reds and my husband insists...
I love this show. I hope to attend this year. With the district Silkie club meet, will anyone have some SQ birds available for sale? I have a really pretty partridge pullet (I hope) I'd like to get a friend for.
Usually, when a television or radio website has a story about a politician saying X, Y, or Z, there is audio or video footage of that politician making the statement to back up the claims. I have to take this whole dust-up over a 2 year old, unverified report with a huge rock of salt.
Really, really hoping your chickenstock is any weekend but May 19-20. I've got 2 non-bird related conflicts that weekend. But if the majority chooses that day, I'll catch y'all some other time.

I have a question for all of you guys. In planning an event, is Risotto a good choice to make sure our veggie brethren are considered? We're working with a hotel that doesn't have a whole lot of choices. We're going to make sure the Risotto is made with vegetable broth.
You might want to look at some of the dogs available at this Min Pin rescue site (anyone looking for a new buddy?). Your very cute puppydog sure resembles these guys:

Welcome!
Well hello there!
We live in Virginia with some humans that we're training to give us tasty treats at our command. So far, these humans are proving pretty trainable. We also live with some older pullets who can already lay eggs. No fair! There are also some big birds called...
