New member. Loved reading stories. Also good ideas. So I registered to join in for conversations. I got my first flock of chickens about 1953. So you know I am an old chicken gal. I had White Rocks. I raised them in hopes of buying a Conn flute. Unfortunately after eating chicken every Sunday and selling nice brown eggs one morning as I approached the chicken coop it was quiet. No clucking or crowing or sound of flopping wings. And I opened door to a quiet coop full of dead chickens everywhere. A weasel. I never got my Conn flute. But There is something about the clucking of hens and roosters crowing and flapping their wings that has stayed with me. Chickens are amazing.

We had many feather down pillows and I think they were called feather ticks and I had skirts from chicken feed sacks. Mom. And I argued if sacks were for a skirt or for pillows.
