Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

[FlyingNunFarm]

The smell of Balut! I don't think Vics under it and a clothes pin on it would plug my nose from the smell enough to eat it!

Even if I was blindfolded and didn't know what it was.

I don't eat saurkraut, or food w bones in it. Once my mom made soup from a chicken carcass, I scooped out a bowl and there was a vertebrae in it... I dumped it out. Ribs, wings... I don't think so.

Taters & Boneless Chicken...perfect, lol!![/QUOTE]

Holy HE double toothpicks.. this was HILARIOUS!!!!

Don't get me wrong I know my birds live in the lap of luxury. They have a better life then any commercially raised bird. It's me who can't get past it. I can't bring myself to cull. If I did I'm not sure I'd be able to eat it.

People tell me I'll get there one day. I have moments with a troublesome teenage boy that make me think I might.
But if I'm honest with myself it will never happen.

Sweetie, I once brought home a live lobster. I had it on the floor, rolling balls to it. I even named it Ralph. When the time came to cull IT, I sharp knifed it in the back, dropped it in hot water, and made lobster bisque....

..................... I then bawled like a baby.......... while I ate the bisque.

I have feelings y'all..... but mah meat lust overpowers mah tears!!!

I tell you, though, I couldn't eat a second bowl of it.

Sorry @pitbullmomma ... we eat chicken..... but trying to do it ethically.... and our chickens have a HUGELY wonderful life.... daily treats and play time with the PIC.... fermented food and clean water.

No apologies needed, Smuv! I respect that people eat meat and eat their chickens, I'm not one of those self-righteous preachy vegetarians, lol. I make chicken for my husband and beef stroganoff and stuff. Those balut eggs are just, freaking, NASTY (and I'm sure some people on here eat them, and apologies if I offend you!) Like my hub eats bloody red meat and he had to leave the room when I showed him that vid cuz he was like "If I keep watching that I will never be able to eat a chicken egg again."

Live and let live!

Cindi,
off to check out the original Minaj video[/QUOTE]

No, I am WITH YOU on those eggs. I also don't eat offal (IT'S PRONOUNCED AWFUL PEOPLE. GET A CLUE!!!). I also don't eat the combs or the feet, even though we do use the feet in stock. I believe the cooked feet will become treats for our dogs.

I couldn’t do it either! I can barely eat chicken anymore.....I am such a wimp!
I know what you mean....I have one of those troublesome teenage boys too! Right now I’m homeschooling him. It was sooooo much more fun when he was little, before he morphed into a 16 year old with the personality of an orc (Lord of the Rings character).
It’s driving me to the brink of madness!

Here is a re-enactment of my son’s attitude during his geometry test this week:

My nose runs when I cry. Makes the food really unappetizing! LOL

Sorry, not a human boy. LOL I meant hormonal randy rooster!

My BF has a 14 yr old (going on 25) girl. The wrong shoes are the end of her social life.

Oh, ok. Well, can I trade you my teenage boy for your Rooster? I’m willing to trade back in a few years!

Chick peas! They practically plant themselves!!

Seriously! I won't have ANY dirt left in my raised boxes!

 

[Smuvers Farm]

Hey @21hens-incharge , you feelin better yet or whut?!?

You can just have the rooster! Not sure I'm ready for a teenage boy.

Somewhat better. The dang cough is horrid. You know the kind of cough where you cannot take a breath and it feels like your lungs are shredding.

I keep taking the only thing that dries me up but it puts me into sleepy mode. Nyquil is my friend!

Anyone catching this years "cold" is in for some misery.

The soup helps with fluids...... Just don't go coughing while you eat you just might drown!

Things I learned this week.......
Getting old makes getting better harder.
Nyquil makes me nap.
It also tends to make me silly after 3 days of it.

Thank you for asking. I hope to be back to normal soon.
