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

@ViolinPlayer123 I love your avatar gif thingy.

They're selling Worlds Finest Chocolate here for fundraising and I bought five boxes Monday and ate 3 already.

I feel like I have to store it up. Mainly in my belly area. Because I only have access to it once a year.

Love love love the Golden Girls names!!!!


Armadillos are the cutest!! I wish we lived near some.
The closest I have is a neighbor with a pet pig named Patty who eats all our fallen apples & pears. Cute too, but not the same

And yes, I love spending time with y'all. You make me laugh out loud and don't judge me for talking chickens all day every day.

How funny! I just saw this last week on Netflix. Great doc! Loved the section on the way they talk and also how they can learn. I started clicker training my girls & they pick up things as quickly as my dog. Really I don't get why people think chickens aren't smart. View attachment 1162341

People do not want to think chickens are smart, because we want to eat them! It is much more difficult to eat a fellow sentient being than a big, dumb Cornish-X!

Any news on Mrs. Squatsh? How many weeks have gone by, could she have hatched her clutch by now. Really wish I had a day or two to drive over and look for her. She probably took her chicks and went back to where ever she lives. However we should continue the conversation, none the less. It's too much fun.

Your avator reminds me of a friend who had a beautiful gray parrot in a large cage. We would sometimes have study group at her house and she always made sure the parrot was in his cage when we came over. The parrot would talk some and often "danced" back and forth on his perch (acting like he wanted attention). Once he got you to feeling comfortable, chatting and winking his eyes, he would dance closer to the edge of the cage, like perhaps he wanted to be petted or at least attention of some sort. However if you tried to touch him he would bit you (or at least try). Although I was fast enough not to get bitten, he suckerd me into trying to pet him more times than I care to admit.

Daughter has a long sleeve white t-shirt that has black print that says shirt on it. when she first brought it home, I looked quickly, than had to say, "wait let me see what that says". She thinks it is terribly funny.

Many parrots are smart enough to be jealous! Dylan does not always approve of intruders near her cage, she raises her hackles at them and hisses.

This guy wanted you to get close enough so he could bit you. He would act real cute and friendly, just waiting for the right moment! Yes they are very smart.
