I bought them at a feed store, and that sure wasn’t the case with me, lol. They all came out of the same tub. It’s alright if you want to tell me how many nickels you would have had. A rough estimate will do.

I didn’t know what I was doing, and the hens were getting all pecked up by the roosters (Which makes me wonder how the term hen pecked evolved. ) So I separated them. Out of the 10 roosters, there was one I really liked, but some dog or something got in and got them all. I still felt rotten about it. Next time I thought I’d ‘rescue’ some young adult hens so I’m sure of their sex from someplace that would likely kill them. I don’t know if that’s a stupid idea or not, but since it will be a retirement project, I have a few years to figure it out.

Is invisibility the next stage of the virus's evolution, or have microscopes suddenly stopped working?

Let’s just say a number between 0 and the number of Coronavirus cases in your state.

Around the time my remaining hens retired from the egg business, I took in a rescue rooster (a little colorful bantam) who was being beaten up by the other roosters in his former home. He was very sweet and didn’t bother the hens. When the last one died, he lived alone for a few years, but a kindhearted neighbor who got sick and, unbeknownst to me, stopped feeding all his stray cats and one dug under the wall of my henhouse and got him.

I’ll take the 223. I have a dirty mind.

I did that too, people would advertise free hens and I would keep them until they died of old-age.Make sure you have a good fence around your property to keep them safe. Domestic dogs kill so much live stock, if they are allowed to roam free.Also make sure they are housed on a building with a cement slab as weasels will tunnel in with a dirt floor. Periodically check the walls for holes also. My birds were free range but I bought them in every night until they got in the habit themselves.

That was good of you to do that. I will keep your tips in mind. When I start up again, it will be where there are mongooses, which are probably just as bad.

Pretty sure that when he was shtupping those ladies, they weren't acting in the capacity of adult film star so much as (well) compensated professional sex workers.
