[Ursuline Chick]

Hey folks, we've got a NOLA newbie told her lots of NOLA folks around here. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/our-new-orleans-urban-homestead.1198503/

Thank you, just welcomed them from home. LOL Told you, people in NOLA have kept chickens for 300 years and everyone ignores the city ordnances until forced to comply. We can only have a total of 4 pets here per household according to city ordnance. LOL Tattoozoo has 25 pets. Welcome to New Orleans.

Now I know where to go if I ever decide to have a rooster tattooed on my a**

We had a bat in our house about 2 weeks ago and that was certainly exciting. Not a rabid squirrel, but still hilarious. Husband and I were trying the Chris Farleys 'Black Sheep' method and couldn't get it to go out the open door so I grabbed an aquarium lid and cornered it. Then slid cardboard up behind it as it hissed and peed at me and I released it outside. The turkeys in the brooder thought it was terrifying and and the dogs were amused. Still don't know where or when it came in...

I had a bird fly in the house one time - it finally flew back out after flying through every other room in the house .

By the way, Pascagoula MS is real town about an hour's drive from us.

It's an hour from us in the opposite direction. Have to drive through it to get to Biloxi. There are a lot of oil industry workers there as well.

Ugh... I didn't catch all of the news, but I just heard on Weather Channel that Jose is moving WNW about 9 mph, is headed to the East coast and will likely become a hurricane again. I wasn't looking at the TV so not sure what part of the east coast they think it might hit.

Thank you for this post, will watch the 10 o'clock news closely tonight, may have to add those on the atlantic coast to the prayer list.

The only things that have ever gone into our house are our naughty little chickies!

I am a meat hunter, don't really get the trophy thing. Of course, I am a woman, and I do have the first deer skin I bagged after Katrina, lost the very first one in Katrina,so just replaced it. DH has made me some great moccasins from skins in the past.

Use the whole animal including the pelt. I always wanted a winter coyote jacket, have never gotten one. Don't think I'd eat the meat. Never heard of anyone eating coyote.

This is the year we're all gonna get it. I figured the East Coast here would suffer in the winter (freak hail storms, ice, epic snowstorm....the usual) - but obviously Fall is going to be a problem. I've gotten used to having a Roo in the house part time to keep the neighbors happy.....what's a few hens (20) too?

The 3.5 year old hens are likely gettng ready to molt. They will lay again next spring.
TSC had chicks here now. If you got chicks now, they will be laying gor you next spring[/QUOTE

]Most of TSC's chicks here have been straight run even though the city they re in is hens only. odd
