Now you are getting to be fun! It was not a study, rather simply a series of observations where newbies here could see some real free-range chicken biology. Remember a wise man (sdm111?) once said several pages back some people come her to learn, not to be talked down to. Getty all sassy talking about pit procedures, short and long gaff, and knives with liberal amounts of redneck mouthiness was not the best approach even then. For me is was also an exercise in fluff to be mined later for rough images and notes upon which more interesting studies could be based. Some of this is actually fun and more than about silly pissing matches with pictures of birds just standing there looking pretty.What was the point of this study? What were you actual findings? Looks like sh*t. Smells like sh*t. It must be sh*t. Whoopty damn doo.
