Hurricane Advice

My first business cards were run on a small press, the guy was a friend so he let me do the type setting--but he ran the cards as I couldn't get the inking right.


Well, today was the day to upset the pecking order. New kids (RIWs and tween turkeys) got released into general population. RIW's had already decided who they were going to challenge and went right for it. The whole pasture was in an uproar for a good hour... I stayed with them the first hour and then checked on them about ever hour after. Last check, everyone's in their own little groups lounging around the pasture... Success!

Forgive the ignorance, what are the advantages of pigeons compared to quail?

Like Crafty Kiki, covert chicken keeper, I'm a backyard chicken connoisseur. And these blessed leghorn girls are awfully vocal. I looked at quail real hard. Kinda hard to keep a secret with a raucous caucus in session.

The individual type letters are called monotype with the poured blocks of print linotype. It was a technological revolution and sped printing up. I thought everyone had a bucket of these in the back. Going the way of the horse drawn carriage with laser printing. Remember the daisy wheel printers? Very professional and you could change typeface with the change of a wheel.

Oh, he got the cold shoulder.

Are they QUIET, weird noises? I can handle weird . It is the loud stuff that makes people wonder. For example, when the 100 pound mutt steps on the 10 pound Chihuahua, the Chihuahua makes loud and weird noises for a while.

Unfortunately, we spent a fortune setting for chickens. Setting up for another bird would be foul. And the two shouldn't be mixed.

I just stuck mine in a HWC pen... They're easy to set up for. Not $$ like chickens.
