He is, but I'd have to scald, pluck and eviscerate him for maybe 1.5-2 lbs of meat, no thanks. I'd rather turn him into bacon, if I can get my pigs to eat an unplucked bird.
Official Squatch Watchers
Hello!We are a bunch of crazy chicken nutters who started talking on a thread where someone found a "squatch chicken". A squatch chicken is a wild chicken that no one believes you've seen. The original thread creator saw a hen and a rooster, only caught the rooster. We kept chatting and started a thread.
We are a diverse group of crazy chicken people who started in a thread about catching a wild chicken. (No one believed said wild chicken was real so it became sasquatch chicken)
As to not clog the other thread with random conversation we moved here. And we all keep talking.
We talk about everything! Chickens, ducks, pogs, goats, bunnies...
Coop builds, animal processing, illness help...
Human lives, dog lives, crazy wildlife.
I don't think there is a topic we haven't covered.
In-laws, milk drinkers (aka tiny humans), work.
Hello! We chat about most everything -- it is mostly for fun! But serious stuff is discussed here, too, sometimes. It is a friendly group here. They are nice to me, when I am only a former chicken owner with a parrot. I have new chickens on the way, though!
I have an interesting story about a chicken named Lazarus that come back from the dead.
Welcome, we do have fun here.
Whats the story about that?
A few years ago the last time I had chickens I had some black australorps. I had to black Australorp roosters roosters one was nice and the other was more productive of the flock.
So as The story goes. One day I was walking up the field and the more protective Australorp rooster decided to come flogging at me again. I had got used to carrying a stick that I would shoot him away with but this time ended up hitting him in the head pretty hard. He dropped "dead" lifeless. I thought "oh crap I killed him!". I picked them up and tried to see if there was any signs of life and could not find any. I was about to go to work so I threw him into the back of the truck and thought I'd dispose of him down the road as to not draw predators onto my property. About 5 minutes down the road I stopped and picked him back up out of the bed of the truck. He still seemed dead so I pitched him down over a bank into a Laurel thicket.
I did not think a lot about it assuming that coyotes or something would have probably eat him that night. But!!! 3 days later my dad coming up the road mentions a big black rooster that looks like one of mine walking around down there!
I thought it could not be. He was dead! But we went back down and there he was walking around at the bottom of the road lost. We caught him and brought him back home.
He integrated back into the flock seamlessly though his aggression streak and crowing seemed off from that day forward. He lived at least two more years before I gave my flock to someone else that keeps chickens.
We renamed him Lazarus after the Bible story since I thought he was dead dead and all the sudden a few days later was back up and walking around very alive!
Good afternoon folks, every one have a great daySorry I didn't get back sooner, but work got in the way...
