The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[The Moonshiner]

I ran outside and got all my dogs back in the house the 1st time I heard a bunch of owls caterwauling.How did I grow up in West Virginia and not know what that was? They sound like monkeys

The nonstop hooting part of that video I hear all the time here. The other weird sounding part I haven't heard.
Love all the spooky night sounds out here

The loud clicking sound they make when they sound an alert will send a chill up your spine.

Ya the GHOs do that too. When I had that one cornered it was and I was expecting it to morph into this at any moment.

Under all the feathers it is that. Lol. They look weirdly like aliens with no feathers.

Do most aliens have feathers?

I was curious when she saw a nekkid owl?
Has someone been plucking and eating owls?
And 3rd... do they taste like chicken?

Thank you! I hope at least some are fertile, but I won't get my hopes up since the roosters the pullets are with are young. I will candle them this weekend and see if any are beginning to develop.

It was in the 40's here today. I got a call from my husband this afternoon that he had taken down a buck in the woods behind our house so he and my son drug it to the 4-wheeler and brought it to the house. We got it gutted and they took it to the man who processes them for us. I was glad for the cold in that case as it gets the deer cooled down fast after gutting it. Next year, I hope to be able to process our own but where they took the first buck in between my work shifts, I had to sleep. And where I have to work tonight, we found it best to take the buck my husband shot today to the processors also. I have a vacuum sealer and know the anatomy to process them, but it takes time to do it and it is hard because I have had to work both nights they have harvested deer. If I didn't have to work tonight, I would have hung him, processed, and packed the meat myself. Oh the woes of having a job, bills, and responsibilities!

One day you will be able to retire, but I can tell you that there is no gold in getting old.

Wow, those look like some very large, powerful wings compared to the size of the bird. I mean, contrasted to, say, a chicken, which has a big heavy body and puny little wings.

I agree! And a huge head!
