    Which chickens are best?

    Quote: I'm not partial to bantams but it's not a big deal. I can't stand feather feathered legged birds because they seem "unkept". I live in southern oregon so the heat can go from 110 degrees F to -10 in the course of a year. So far this is great info. Please keep it coming!

    To hard on kids....wife swap

    I feel that yes/no ma'am/sir is the most respectuful thing to say when you DO NOT know someone. At a certain point it's amost disrespectful and that you don't care enough to learn their name.
