Yes I did. But my 11 are only six months old, and I need to wait at least a year.

There is a reason my DH calls them a bunch of piranhas.

The only reason there is some left in the one piece is they had accidentally flipped it over. Lol

Amazing. The first time mine saw a pumpkin they ran screaming to get as far away from it as possible! And that one was already smashed.
They changed their minds about the desirability of pumpkin a few hours later but their first reaction was sheer terror!

Mine were just curious but they are so young to be fair literally almost everything is new to them breathing is still kinda novel. They really like the pumpkin and bonus the kids are entirely invested in the progression and outcome win win!

Bought a new Taurus 40 caliber today! Woohoo new gun to go shoot.

Cool! 40 cal is one that I don't like to shoot. It feels like the recoil is hitting right on the ends of my arm bones. A .357 mag doesn't feel as bad. A friend of mine explained that the pressure curve with 40 is a fast, sharp curve, more so than other calibers.

Thats why I carry a taurus g3c with hollow points so it wont go through the original target

Do you have other roosters near by that he can hear crowing ? At least 50% of the crowing we get here, is in answer to other roosters.
Out of my two males, Théo crows a lot, lot more than Gaston. He uses crowing as an assertion of dominance. Gaston is just beginning to crow during the day at 21 weeks. Mr P. doesn't seem like the typical macho guy and if there are no other roosters around maybe he just doesn't feel like crowing!
To be sure it's not an health issue, if you've ever recorded him crowing you can play his own crow to him and see if he answers.

I'm also worried right now for my roosters. For one thing Théo is chasing Gaston badly. For now it's just about frightening him but I'm afraid that once Gaston realizes he is three times bigger they will actually fight. And also, Théo is molting pretty hard, and now the tip of his comb is turning black again. It happened to him in summer with no issue, but it can be a cause of worry for roosters.

We finally have some rain forecasted for tomorrow and I really, really hope it does rain. We had a three weeks respite after nine months of draught at the end of august, and now everything has dried up again.
Anyway sorry for rambling and here are some thirsty pictures!
