The top gun is my Southern Kentucky Poor Boy. The middle is my Early Virginia Rifle (20 gauge smooth bore). The bottom gun is my Brown Bess Carbine. My son and I will be going BP Elk this fall and I'm planning a trip to South Dakota for some BP White Tail....

Small game hunting in early 1700's garb is such a fun way to spend time in the woods.

I don't need this yet, but I couldn't pass up the $3 in parts that seemed to be made for this re-purpose Here is my "new" pullet feeder. Canister is 15"x 5.5". I figure that will last a day or 2. My concern is the gap for food is only one inch... on one hand that seems small, but on the other it might make for less spillage. It doesn't work for pellet, just crumbles. Nothing fancy...first "Chicken-vention"!



 
I have what appears to be a coturnix quail( age unknown) that was found at kipling and morrison.I am wondering if there is anyone here who can take this bird ? I am not set up for quail and dont know a thing about them. The people who brought the bird to me thought it was a baby chicken when they found it on their front porch.I am guessing this bird is young but I dont know that for a fact. Any help from anyone in the metro area in regards to finding this bird a home is greatly appreciated . Please pm or email me if you can help.
 
LOL. That was one of the ongoing discussions yesterday. Here's how heat and 18th century clothing work. You get hot, you sweat. Wool and linen breath, so when the breeze comes up, you cool down. I was talking to a girl who was wearing a tank top and shorts. The sun was beating down on her skin. I asked her who had more shade. She was actually hotter than I was. People associate clothing with warmth. Sweat is the body's natural cooling system.

I lived in an orthodox jewish community in ct before moving here. Even in the middle of summer, walking to and from shut(synagogue), I don't remember every getting so hot I wanted to die. I did get hot but not as hot as I use to get working in a concrete building in the middle of field in work clothes. :) I'm always amazed at the misconceptions people have about some of the time periods. My grandmother use to use vinegar to keep that fresh smelling scent and when that smell would go away, ginger or vanilla on the wrists. From her, I learned to can, make lye soap, crochet, knit socks, quilt, make simple clothes, etc.

Anyways.... Wearing long clothes is not as hot as one would think. I'll check out your link.

chick-n-the-burbs: so very glad you found a home for your hen.
