Anyone want a BCM rooster, cheap?
He's got DW scared to go into the chicken yard when he's there unless she's carrying a stick.
He'd have come after me yesterday, twice, if there hadn't been a fence between us. All I was doing was walking back to the house from checking on the little guys & the water supply.
I opened the gate just now to let them out, and as a hen walked thru the gate he rushed me again. This is his lucky day; lucky that my legs aren't any longer, and lucky I wasn't armed with a stick or pistol/rifle. I've had one BCM rooster than decided to challenge me & take me on; not putting up with another. I won't walk around wary of a bird all day; not unless it starts buying groceries & paying the mortgage. I have a 50/50 chance of one of the two BCM chicks I have being a cockerel, & a 3 month old Buff Orpington confirmed cockerel, I'll give them a chance. If either of them work out, fine. If not, they're gone, too, and I'll be the only testosterone-driven male around here. Now if I could only remember the address of craigslist.org.

Sounds like he should be invited to dinner.

I just happened to think of something, which is scary all by itself, but you know how a lot of people, including me, often say chickens aren't real smart?
They're smart enough to get someone to house them, feed them, keep 'em warm in the winter & cool in the summer, provide medical care if needed, and, in many cases, all the sex they can handle or want.

Think about it.

Lucky birds...

My legs got so burnt after half an hour on the sands of Myrtle Beach one year that DW had to drive home; I couldn't put any pants or shoes on. Even had to take off work a couple days 'til I could get dressed. Of course at that time my legs hadn't seen sunlight in 30 years.

Ouch!

This also describes a lot of 20-30 year olds these days.

So true..

S(he) was an ISA Brown. Such a sweet & beautiful bird.

I've met 4 so far, but none that I talk to frequently.








THAT. IS. SO. CUTE!!! I really did LOL!







No judging either way, just pointing out that you had 1 more pro than you had con.








What'd ya get? What'd ya get? What'd ya get?







That sounds like so much fun!!!!







I'm glad that's not just me!

He was beautiful...
We had a good time, and i had a lawn chair in a shady spot so no sunburn!
It was a little cloudy but that kept it comfortably cool and the kids and dh enjoyed the water.

He has a life jacket now.

I assume she is referring to one time when we were fishing and took Dudley with us. Hubby caught a fish and Dudley was soooo excited. When we tossed the fish back in the water, Dudley promptly jumped in after it. Sunk like a rock! Finally we see him surface, paddling like a mad dog.

Or it may have been the same trip, we were loading up and Dudley fell off the end of the dock, into a bunch of plant life growing in the water, and we had one heck of a time getting him out of that tangled mess

I think I read both posts around the same time, but it was a long time ago & I might be blurring them together. If I remember correctly there was a pic of Dudders on the bow of your boat. He jumped in after a fish & "sunk like a rock." I thought your DH had to pull him out. The next pic was him on the bow of the boat in a life vest. I admit I liked you instantly.
