She was such a happy girl to have this corn today. I just washed it in cold water then dipped it into hot . I thought it would last longer but found it chewed up and in the mud within 30 minutes. Then she shouted at me when I put it in the bin
I can do nothing right some days

Oh, shes a nice big girl! Smarty pants

I read that as "8 pounds bigger"
No way a chicken could get to those proportions.

Caponizing one can get 20 pound sizes. Jersey giants can hit 13 pounds all naturally. It can happen.

Field corn is tougher & more starchy - but I suspect that @BY Bob is talking about when it is somewhat dried - like the kernels you would get in a bag of corn for feed. I have fed mine field corn on the cob, but recently picked and still fairly moist (i.e. not dried and hard) and they do just fine with it that way. If the kernels have dried on the cob, it is best to shuck them.

Feel free to correct me on my assumption about what you meant, @BY Bob

That is exactly what I'm talking about. It is usually dried out and nearly as hard as a rock.

WOW, WOW, WOW, I want one just like this!
Persnickety Poultry on facebook posted this. There are some silkie lovers on this thread so I want you all to admire her I assume as well.

Lovely lady.

I slid on mud trying to get hold of princess to put her on the grass.

My right hip is painful and having the left painful to is just unbelievably bad. But that hot water bottle and a pillow under my knees really is helpful

Hope you feel better quickly.
