    They have been getting whacked bad lately. I am down to two of them and they don't lay well in the winter. Next year I am building a coupe for them. I was thinking about getting fertilized eggs so the kids could see the whole egg to chickens laying eggs process. Then Ashley could sell some chickens and eggs too along with the veggies we will be growing. Nothing like getting kids to eat veggies by growing them.
    Feed em a little oatmeal and they will lay like champs :D

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    I was thinking about getting a couple of chickens. A hen for some fresh eggs and a rooster to piss off my neighbor (can't stand the ****) :). don't know how they would fare against the predators around here and a typical n.e. ohio winter.

    Keep them in a small area. They keep each other warm. I was down in the teens last winter with no problems.

    Troy my neighbors like me. One even feeds the squirrels for me so they are good sized when I eat them.

    No more clucking, crapping... I told them to start laying eggs again. They didn't listen. They were feeding me one way or another;) Next year I am doing it again. Letting them out of the pen once in a while. They did their job and rid the back yard of weeds(and grass) so I can replant the back yard with fresh seed.

    Well, I was kind of hoping for an action shot, but maybe you could at least throw a cape on for the occassion.

    BTW, is the shot of the speared possum up thread? I couldn't find it.

    He was a little pissed at first. I found the blunt side of a body hammer to work better than the pick side.

    Nice pic. A little pissed...I'll bet.

    So, can you do anything with a dead possum?

    Or did you just leave him there, piked, as a warning to any other potential intruders? :D

    I could do that. I am surprised I have all my teeth.
