Well I knew when my lil rir rooster was so sweet when he was young would not last long. He has run into the back of my legs twice now in the last few days. He had attacked my Dad one time a couple of months ago but I figured it was because Hercules was not use to seeing my dad in the chicken...

I am just wondering are the very first eggs ok to eat?

Ok I am all about helping people in need who are trying to help themselves but I have discovered some people who don't need help are just moochers! I noticed this when I began deer hunting and people would boldly ask for deer meat when they would see our deer or we would mention we had killed...
