We're getting 4 birds; 2 chicks and two 1 year olds.  I forgot the name of the breed but the person were getting them from is further north than us.  They should be ale to handle the cold.

I ordered this one:

http://www.chickencoopsource.com/chicken-coops/chicken-coops/chickencoopdeluxe.cfm

There were so many reasons not to to get it
-It might be too small for when the chicks grow up which means I'll have to add an addition. 
-On back order.
-Made in China.

But I did and it's one less thing for me to do in my life.

I guess we're gonna raise a few turkeys this year.

was at a company dinner with my wife's coworkers a few months ago...

one of the coworkers said he raises pigeons...

I wanted to take a crap on him


Our cook in Saudi when we were kids used to cut the heads off chickens and make us watch them run around the yard headless squirting blood....charming memory, savage culture

Aunt had an old Polish Chicken Farmer living across from her farm...had a coop(?) must have been a 100 yards long....we bought eggs from him...he was pretty crazy in a not so good way...we think it was from living with the unholy racket of a billion chickens carrying on 24x7x365



This is an insult to the Pez community

That's barbaric....

you hang them by their feet so when you slit their throat they drive the blood 300 yards while flapping their wings.

Much more humane. ;)

I always was taught to bite their heads off...isn't that the proper way?

Excellent.

It might be a good idea to reduce the roman candle activity this year.  Unless you want TIMB (turkey in my belly.)

They'll be safe and sound in the 'turkey coop'. ;)

Some folks look at a turkey and say "why," ML looks at a turkey and says "why not?"
