Never been a matter of social life, I just have never liked stupid humor. Just like I love Jim Carrey, but can't stand to even see a commercial for the dumb and dumber movies. I like funny, not people acting like idiots. MAD TV makes me cringe. I'd rather listen to Jeff Foxworthy or Bill Envall or even Larry the Cable Guy....

*then hits it again*
*and again*
*and again*
I just.. . I can't. . . Amy! Dollface! You are missing out, girl.

Chris Farley was amazing. I still get mad at him for dying.

Tater salad is my cup of tea out of teh blue collar comedy tour guys. Er, rather, my shot of bourbon.



Love me a smarty pants.

Oh, but then I remembered I have this:

Anyone?



I digress, but I could go on all night. Stand up is my jam.
@scflock , I knew all those names, until the politician, then you lost me.




I looked Obama up, though, he's like the Chris Rock of this generation or something?

I also do fermented feed. My older guys LOVE it. But I can't get the chicks to try it. Any ideas?

Same!

SC, this is for you. One of my favorite comedians!

Ha! Happy 8 day! I think of this every time I have to gauge my pain.

I wish I knew someone locally that sold chicken meat. How do you find local meat? I've never seen anything on Craigslist but I only look in the farm & garden section.

There is always Eatwild, locallygrown, or localharvest(.coms, I think)

The chickens are expensive on those sites, though. Thirty dollars a bird! Processed!!

Maybe you can find something similar in NYC? Too steep for these heels.

I get about $30 each for mine. But those are nice 6 pounders (dressed). Ask around at farmer's markets and the feed store. The feed store knows who is buying broiler starter and grower.

So finally caught up. I too am a humor kind of girl, but many comedians I simply don't find that funny.
As to breeding dual purpose meaty birds this is a mission of mine as well. I want to mix Heritage Cornish with Brahmas and then possibly mix some Chantacler in their as well. Everyone always says the white rooster over the cornish hen but I want to breed some true Cornish as well so will be breeding the cornish rooster to the Brahma hen unless Cornish Roosters are jerk. Brahmas are sweetheart.

So what happened with #6 and #8?

Love Ron White, but he can get annoying sometimes too. Mitch was awesome! And I used to absolutely cry laughing at Steven Wright. Haven't seen him in years though. He can make the simplest thing so hilarious and thought-provoking at the same time! “If a man says something in the woods and there are no women there, is he still wrong?"

Number 8 is fine, just put it in the brooder with the others. It jumped out of the incubator so figured it was ready. number 6 not so sure. Prolly going to try it help hatch in a few hours, it has made zero progress but is still alive and moving some.

Just don't give them anything else...they'll figure out what goes down and what doesn't. My last 3 took nearly 6 days before I actually saw them eat food.

My flock was originally a special dual-purpose breed, and I got 50:50 cockerelsoults. So I grew the cockerels onto 16 weeks (as the hatchery recommended) and had them processed. They dressed out to 2-2.5Kg, which I priced at C$10/Kg. IOWs, they ended up being ~C$25/bird. The only complaints I got were that the birds were too big, as several people were buying for their own single seat at the table. This time around I plan on culling some females at 10 weeks, and charging C$12/Kg for them...as they will both be better sized for single people, and I'm told will possess a more tender meat. The roos I will grow on to 14 weeks and then process...yielding a slightly smaller bird than last time.

I'm really hoping the fermented feed yields a better meat:carcass ratio given the birds don't have to work hard to process the food.

A local grocery store sells Organic whole chickens for $11/Kg.

well correction- A couple hours ago I expanded number 6's pipped whole about twice it's size and went check just now it has hatched. Is still wet, icky and attached to the shell but otherwise looks ok
