poking, prodding and some shove...

maybe I'll cover the run, and she'll just get the run, no perch tho. 3 weeks is short term, right? She won't have much room regardless what....

I don't really want to take the risk and just throw her in with my existing flock.... I didn't have that issue when I brought home the original 2.

She might surprise me and just squeeze through that door.

Just saw this... too funny!

THE CHICKEN GUN


The true story of the Chicken Gun. Too funny not to share! Sometimes it does take a rocket scientist!

Scientists at NASA built a gun specifically to launch standard 4 pound dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at maximum velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.


British engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to the British engineers.


WHEN THE GUN WAS FIRED, THE ENGINEERS STOOD SHOCKED AS THE CHICKEN HURLED OUT OF THE BARREL, CRASHED INTO THE SHATTERPROOF SHIELD, SMASHED IT TO SMITHEREENS, BLASTED THROUGH THE CONTROL CONSOLE, SNAPPED THE ENGINEER'S BACK-REST IN TWO, AND EMBEDDED ITSELF IN THE BACK WALL OF THE CABIN, LIKE AN ARROW SHOT FROM A BOW.


THE HORRIFIED BRITS SENT NASA THE DISASTROUS RESULTS OF THE EXPERIMENT, ALONG WITH THE DESIGNS OF THE WINDSHIELD AND BEGGED THE U.S SCIENTISTS FOR SUGGESTIONS.


NASA RESPONDED WITH A ONE-LINE MEMO --
"DEFROST THE CHICKEN." (TRUE STORY)

I laugh every time I hear it... its been doing the rounds BEFORE the internet.... Before Xerox machines....

Checked it out on 'Snopes' sounds like they don't believe it to be true BUT they do NOT prove it to be false Lol!

I think it was told as a joke back in the early seventies and grew a life of its own. Back then Dow was advertizing a new polymer to replace cockpit glass and proved it to be bullet proof by firing bullets at it.

That was when Vietnam was still going. I think the logic went Ok if it protects against bullets it shure would protect against striking a bird at Mach Whatever.....

Beer can won this one. Bacon for the win.


So, 5 quail hatched and one is zipped. Pulled another quitter. One of the hatched quail has its leg sticking straight out, even under gentle manipulation it goes straight back again. Any ideas?

@minihorse927 I tried taking quail pictures for you. This is in my younger group.

I like the light colouring in its chest. As you can see, I was successful. Until one jumped out of the cage and into the Coop. I dropped the phone into the cage, closed it and picked up the quail at the other end right between the turkeys and some chickens.
In the meantime the other 5 quail were having a hoot pecking at the phone
They took a picture for you:
