    Nope - not a lick. She did lay a clutch of nearly full-sized eggs and hatched a few turkey poults for me though - so she's fully-grown. OFG displayed a hankerin' for a micro duck and so we made a little trade. We called her lady gaga because she was a little, um, overtly libidenous....

    Let me assure you - I've known OFG for a long time now and if anything she actually tones it down a little when she posts it here.... Truth IS stranger than fiction!

    Around here we call it 'spade' or neuter - and neutering is too much trouble. Usually they sucumb to lead poisoning before we can get them rehabbed....

    Don't go putting away the cuss bank on OFG's account - one little visit would put a kid through college - hehehehe ;) It was nice visiting and getting to know you guys too - although I thought maybe I had stumbled into some secluded nudist retreat at first.... Thankfully that turned out NOT to...

    After those nasty meat chick types are 3-4 weeks along I switch them away from the comercial broiler starter onto 14 % hog mash until they're big enough to eat whole corn. Then it's whole corn and greens - Oh - and milk of course - hog mash and milk - then whole corn and milk and greens. If you...

    My aunt, a fairly large woman, had a prosthetic due to cancer, etc. She walked into the oncologists office one day to check in - saw a little 'normal' sized breast prosthesis sitting on the check-in desk. In her very best Crocodile-Dundee-whipping-out-his-knife voice she drawled, "You call THAT...

    Geese and Bourbon Red hens

    I have a few geese (embden) and three Bourbon Red hens from last spring's hatch that I need to get rid of. For sale or will trade for some cochin hens - bantam or standard, or silkie hens... I'm in NE Ohio - Portage County. Thanks, Eric

    I was thinking, "Lightly caramelized and served with onions." - but that's kind of a long name.... But seriously - they are cute little devils - kind of a new take on boers what with the tiny ears and all. Theye should be making all kinds of havoc pretty soon here!

    Golden Campines= the devil. Our dear friend OFG dropped off Satan and his consort as a 'trade' for something or other. The little rooster would attack anything anytime anywhere, anywhichwaybutloose. The kids learned to go armed with a stick. He lasted about two weeks. Shortly before...
