Hello, maddiwilliams...recognize the rooster on my avator? He's the one I bought from you at the end of last year you dropped off at my father-in-law next to I-10. I have hatched a few of the RIR hens he has been with and have a set in the brooder now until they are big enough to run in the yard. I remember you said he came from a certain hatchery, which one exactly if you remember? Also is he supposed to be heritage? thanks
Thanks.
And Twiley's description of their behaviors is perfect. It's funny that you mentioned "behind bars". I will continue Twiley's story where she stopped at adolescents and add another story during their "adult" life.
True story..................................
Well, one day a few years ago, I arrived home from work to find a yellow "notice" taped to my back door. I began to read the note and I noticed that the note was from Animal Control. Well, as I read farther down, I read something to the affect saying that my geese were confiscated by animal control and they were in the "SLAMMER"!!! I was FURIOUS when I read this.
I immediately called animal control to see what was going on. Well, I was informed that the geese had BITTEN "someone" and "someone" called to report them. I asked who did the geese bit, and who called and what hospital was the person in because if MY geese bite someone, they would need reconstructive surgery because I know how much damage they can do. So, the person that answered the phone said that she could not release that information. I asked them where was the evidence (pictures) of the goose bites. They didn't have anything. I asked where was the other evidence. Well there was nothing. So, I started thinking how could my geese bite someone and they are IN A BIG OLE' CHICKEN YARD behind a fence!!!! And who would have called???? Well, I did a process of elimination and I figured out the little witch that called. Her BAD demon son was probably sticking his finger through the fence and the geese TORE HIS BUTT UP and he went crying to the little witch mama of his. So, she called animal control and told them that the little demon child was bit and they came to get them. But how are you going to take MY geese off of MY property because some DUMB DUMB put his finger through MY FENCE. Oh no, that dog don't hunt with me. So, I asked for the supervisor but she wasn't there. They said that she would be tomorrow. So my geese had to stay in jail over night until I could bail them out. So, the next day, I called and talked to the supervisor. I asked the same questions as I did the day before but no one had any answers. They said that they never picked up any geese, so they didn't know what to do. I said what you do is LET THEM GO because YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE and you ILLEGALLY came on my property and took my geese because a demon child got bit putting his finger THROUGH MY FENCE. I told her that someone would be there within the hour to get my geese. So, I called my brother to go and get them. So, when he got there, there was yet ANOTHER Animal Control employee there who knew absolutely NOTHING about the incident, so he she didn't want to release the geese to my brother. My brother politely told her that she really didn't want to have to deal with me and if I had to leave work to drive to the Animal Control place, then it would not be a pretty sight when I got there. He told her that I don't play when it comes to my animals and someone's head would be on a plate if they didn't release the geese with no evidence of any wrong doing. He told her that if he left there with no geese then the Tasmanian Devil (ME) would be there within the hour and all CHAOS would break loose. Well, she finally got the picture and told my brother to take the geese. He said he went to the back and they were quiet as can be. He said a few of the girls had laid eggs in there. I guess jail time scared the eggs out of them.He put them in a cage and brought them home.
So, yes, my geese have been to JAIL!!!!!!! So now my geese have a criminal record. I'm still trying to get it expunged.
I never mentioned anything to the little heffer that called but I was later told that it was her and her son pretty much asked for a biting because he was picking with the geese. I"m glad my geese bit the heck out of his little demon butt. Serves him right. After I had some eye to eye non verbal contact with the mama, I never had another problem with her ever again.
Don't play with me or my animals.
RELEASE THE GEESE !! RELEASE THE GEESE !! RELEASE THE GEESE !! RELEASE THE GEESE !! RELEASE THE GEESE !! RELEASE THE GEESE !!
All I can say is I have never been in trouble with "the law" yet in my life, but if I ever am, can I call you??? LOL It never hurts to have a Tasmanian Devil on your side. LOL
Thanks.

OMG....my family is watching some awful thing on the Walking Dead as I sat here and read this. Suddenly, I break out laughing from Julie's "Jail Bird" story and they look at me like...what the heck is wrong with you???????
I was wondering about raising a cornish line for a meat chicken. I heard they are slow growers and do not lay well, so I might cross it with a faster grower like a White Rock or would another breed be better? I bought the Meyer's special last October, lost a lot due to winter coming on before they had any feathers and the generator we had to run the heat lamps in the barn, running out of gas before morning, but it has been 4 months and these guys are still not put n much weight! I have 36 left and they are so active, they are running the feed off !
They actually are free ranging with the Layers and the Turkeys! guess they did not get the memo that they are suppose to be lazy and grow fast? LOL
I am so excited, DH just came home with a SS 3 compartment free standing sink and work counter. It's like Christmas in February ! This will make harvesting and processing a lot easier around here. Who knows, I might even talk DH into helping? LOL
