DW & I were here in the basement about 30 min. ago when we heard what sounded like someone knocking on the sliding glass door or a window. I went to the door...nobody in sight. DW looked out a window...nobody in sight. At that point, I expected to find my buddy's truck in front of the house, meaning he'd be down in the blind, hunting for deer...no truck. Shortly, I went out to bring in another load of wood, and discovered 4-5 chickens next to a clear plastic window well cover. They'd evidently been pecking at it; sounding for all the world like someone knocking!

manner

We knew you meant manners. At least you are capable of communicating intelligently in multiple languages. I can barely greet someone, deal with purchases, and find a bathroom in my high school Spanish and limited Russian.

Thanks you are very kind, I am really trying!

dawwwwww

[@=/u/296003/Akrnaf2]@Akrnaf2[/@]Somewhat have you been up to today?

Now it's almost 23:00 here, but I had today the evaluation meeting for the first trimester of the school year, so long hours of talking and evaluating each and every student.

Got the nest box mostly done. Need to hang it in the chicken barn and I bought some polyurethane to do the front, sides, and top. Completely constructed of cedar grown and milled on our property

Very nice! Pretty cool the cedar grew and was milled on your property!

I found the following story after a short "Google"



Lesson of the Plucked Chicken


During those final days of the collapsing Marxist experiment in the Soviet Union, Soviet novelist Chingiz Aitmatov retold the following story, which has been paraphrased here.
On one occasion, so it was narrated, Stalin called for a live chicken and proceeded to use it to make an unforgettable point before some of his henchmen. Forcefully clutching the chicken in one hand, with the other he began to systematically pluck out its feathers. As the chicken struggled in vain to escape, he continued with the painful denuding until the bird was completely stripped. “Now you watch,” Stalin said as he placed the chicken on the floor and walked away with some bread crumbs in his hand. Incredibly, the fear-crazed chicken hobbled toward him and clung to the legs of his trousers. Stalin threw a handful of grain to the bird, and it began to follow him around the room, he turned to his dumbfounded colleagues and said quietly, “This is the way to rule the people. Did you see how that chicken followed me for food, even though I had caused it such torture? People are like that chicken. If you inflict inordinate pain on them they will follow you for food the rest of their lives.”
Ravi Zacharias, Can Man Live Without God, (Word Publ., Dallas: 1994), pp. 26-27

Never heard they were. Here we see a pretty good mix of bantams and LF at the fair.

DW & I were here in the basement about 30 min. ago when we heard what sounded like someone knocking on the sliding glass door or a window. I went to the door...nobody in sight. DW looked out a window...nobody in sight. At that point, I expected to find my buddy's truck in front of the house, meaning he'd be down in the blind, hunting for deer...no truck.

Did you let them in?

No, not today; they seemed to be enjoying where they were. Mon., Wed. & Fri. are their days to have house privileges.
