Yeah, saw that one at Hobby Lobby actually, or off the R&L store. I found several stores that have quite the variety. BUT he wants chickens, and only chickens. He doesn't want the farm one that has cows, horses, chickens... the chickens are little. He wants a CHICKEN. LOL
Rusty, sorry I was on and off quite quick this morning. It was shaping to be a bad day when I looked out and saw the snow. The roads in Holland were ok, the roads in the sub divisions in Zeeland were not.
I went to get some Allstock Sweet feed from FFH, and I couldn't find any. I could find this one that said it was for goats, was a sweet feed, and the front of the bag had a cow, sheep, alpaca and a goat on it. 16% protein... is that the same thing? The reason I want it is as a green replacer for the winter, throw it in the pen as a winter treat, or put it with their regular feed like I do the corn...Supposed to have alfalfa.. Anyway, I read about it on another forum... Robin, you know which one... There are a few persons over in New England area using it as a supplement along with their regular feed, kinda like a winter treat. Figure 50# of that is a lot cheaper than 50# of salad ya know....
I also had a score of sorts at Meijer tonight. Picked up suet peanuts and raisins that were on clearence. Grabbed the last two bags they had. Chickens didn't knwo what to make of it at first, then it was gone... SO apparently, it was a nice before bedtime snack.
I got attacked today by the neighbors rooster. I was walking a few of his girls back in the dark, they had come over to visit, they had heard me whistling for my birds to come down off the roost and get some mac and cheese. Anyway, I am walking them home and their freaking stud cakes rear attacked me. I have a cut on my lower calf, and one on my ankle just above where my shoe sits. I tell you, I kicked that crap out of that boy as gently and firmly as I could, but he would not stop! I finally caught him between my legs, which could lead to a whole slew of umm... jokes. SO there I stand, a rooster stuck between my knees, a bag of suet in my one hand... I put the bag between my teeth, reached down grabbed the ratturd's feet, held him upside down only for a second so I could shift him around and tucked his @$$ under my arm. Everytime he tired to squirm free, I held him tighter. Carl told me I should have kicked him more, but I was like, DUDE, I kicked him 4 times and he still kept coming. I held him for about 10 minutes while I was talking to Carl. Carl says he's going to get rid of him, because he'll be fine, won't attack anybody, then all of the sudden he attacks only when your back is turned. I told him when if he wanted a nice rooster, let me know, I'll be working on faverolles this spring, I'll give him a pair, a boy and a girl. He said, well they all get mean at about 2 years. I said, NO they don't. Mr. Fluffers was nearly 4, and he never attacked any one. Roger was a year and a half, he never attacked anyone. Depends on the breed, and with his being a factory columbian wyandotte, and not a good quality one either... they aren't bred for niceness... I told him he needs a nice fat cochin boy or a faverolle. OR keep one of his older hens, even if she's stopped laying as his head hen.. she'll keep them in line then...
Well. I am thinking I might go work on my painting some more... but first... my self portrait painting...
