Draye!!!!   this guy is one of your project roos? for the NN???  he is lovely!

Yes, that is him. Got hatching eggs from @alohachickens he hatched April 3rd 2015. He is a product of her Aloha chicken project.

no, but the garage roof overhangs quite a bit

I have one EE that has never laid an egg inside my coop, she jumps/flys out of the run over a 6 foot fence and goes across the yard to some railroad ties. Made a nice nest under there and that's where she hangs out for a few hours. But then she comes wandering back, asking to be let back in to the coop.

I hope nothing happened to yours and that you find her!!!

You can believe I didn't type what I was really thinking   

Well than that makes two of us

If you ever get the chance, remember this advice. Never cook it over Medium. My family and I prefer seared to Medium Rare. You can't get me to choke down a fully cooked waterfowl!!! Eva!!! Tastes like @$$...... But medium rare is awesome, completely different cut of meat believe it or not.

I forgot to mention Sandhills Cranes. They are phenomenal, rating up and maybe surpassing the Specks. We kill quite a few of them too. Never pass them up over the decoy spread.

They are illegal to kill in florida

I know someone who rolls the window down and yanks em in and breaks the neck

HELLUVA drumstick!

I have a brinsea mini advance, and it's working, it's just the long eggs don't want to turn, so 5 of the eggs turn and two don't. I've tried adjusting them and all but nothing is working!




ALSO, my crested cream legbar pullet went missing this afternoon. No trace. All other chickens accounted for, no one seems upset. She was the only pullet in the run, the rest had stayed in the coop. Any ideas? No feather, no other losses, no one seems upset. Just POOF gone. Any ideas where a run away pullet would hide/ how far they roam??? I am very upset. I've put out a missing add and walked around the block without luck.

Oh no!

I'm sorry about the legbar

I would check spaces that seem too small for her to get into, you may be surprised

I love duck

I'm betting a hawk got your pullet. I lost a pup like that once. Another possibility is a coon, but not likely; they're nocturnal...not often active in daylight. I'd be covering the run with 1x2 welded wire ASAP; Lowes, Home Depot, and TSC all carry it.

Not surprised the remaining birds are not stressed. I think, though I may be wrong, that chickens, like dogs, don't have particularly long retention spans. I've found predator-killed hens in my first run, and the other birds acting totally normal.

Whut else can I say? It's true!! only 150 posts when I came back, and I was gone a while!

Whut?

No smack!?!?

Unfortunately, so called "good steakhouses" and not that good in my opinion. Hard to go out for steak when when I make one way better plus it was raised right here. I'm not a big fan of eating out. Too many shortcuts and old food being served.

After working as a busboy for two years in h.s. and seeing what goes on in the kitchen, I have no burning desire to eat out.
