I feel like I just stumbled into an Old West ghost town

Quiet isn't is? Are you scared? Afraid of ghosts?

Yes, yes, & yes

Is nobody going to give an opinion about the cock by himself in quarantine? It is supposed to drop into the teens tonight get up to 29 tomorrow, and back down to 14.
Will he be OK? Should I risk an extension cord and bulb or a pair for company?

I think he'll be ok.

I've just served a cease & desist notice on the local squirrel population in the vicinity of my deer feeder; their presence is no longer desired, nor will it be tolerated. Twice in the last week they've pulled the wires to the spinner motor loose or chewed through them. The feeder's been in the same spot since I got it several years ago, and they've just now decided to vandalize it.

Darn squirrels. Can you shoot them or is there a season?

Good news. My neighbour's hen with the broken leg (I took the splint off a few weeks ago) is now walking fine with nearly no limp.

Quote: That's good news.

Quote: Hope you are feeling better soon!

SO funny story

My father in law has 3 chickens, he thought 2 boys and a girl, he was going to dispatch one of the boys but one went missing last week

the pullet has been laying for a couple weeks maybe a month and is now broody, she is setting on 3 eggs

my FIL kept looking for the missing cockerel because he liked that one more than the one he has

So Last night he found it, under a trailer, setting on about 10 eggs

oops, guess he has 2 pullets and one cockerel

and soon many babies

Yeah, there's a season on them. Darn .22 only fires when it wants to. I must've extracted close to a dozen cartridges before I got one to fire, and I missed. The ammo's old...real old. I hope that's the problem. I keep forgetting to buy a new box to be sure.

Yes, I'd try a new box, for certain.

I got them when Dad died 10 years ago; no telling how long he had them.

Doesn't a lot depend on how they were stored?
