Chickens

[Itsa Little CrOoked]

Family up the road from my place has a huge population of Guinea hens, absolutely bizarre looking birds but he says they taste fantastic tho I do not know if they have edible eggs.

Gotta clip one of their wings, or Guinea hens'll develop the habit of roosting in the trees. Then you gotta shoot 'em before you can cook dinner.

Maybe this is a foolish question - Don't you need a rooster & a hen to make eggs?

not to make eggs, just to fertilize and make them viable. Ask your wife about eggs and that time of the month, whether she has a rooster or not! lol!

Ah - yes - that makes perfect sense. Thank you for clearing that up good sir.

I thought you guys were going to say that you had a squeegee for that.

Wow, all great advice!  I grew up on a farm but that was quite a while ago having to take care of chickens and I can only remember feeding them corn and pellets so all good advice.  We have coon here, hawks and occasionally eagles so I will have to make sure they are safe.  I remember a couple of times weasels getting into our coop and it looked like a blood bath when we walked in.

And did either one of them have a cigarette afterwards?

Don't feel bad.  A few years back I was having a conversation with a lady from India and we were discussing her food choices because of her religion.  She said she didn't eat any animals because they don't want to hurt animals but I asked her why eggs though.  She said they didn't want to eat any chicken parts.  I told her chickens can lay eggs without a rooster so they wouldn't have to worry about any fertilized eggs.  They could go to a local farmer to buy them if they didn't trust the supermarkets.  She refused to believe me.  She said her dad told her so I had to be wrong.  The look on her face was like I told her Santa was fake or something.  She wasn't too happy with me.  I guess when you are told something your whole life and then at 40 someone disproves it, it doesn't sit too well.

I can't see that one being very useful. However - something to deter the weasels seems to be what's needed. If anything, our focus would begin there. I have a few ideas.
