A Thief in the Dark

Three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead.

You say the chicken knocked on your door?    That's funny right thar Mr. Bill. 

I use to raise fighting roosters, but lost a whole lot more fights than we won. Then it became a felony, so I quit.  Also, when I was a kid, my parents would keep about 30 laying hens and then twice/year they would grow out around 100 fryers. Use to love that part. My grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles, cousins would all get together on a weekend and kill and dress all the fryers. Grandpa killed them, the kids chased around the flopping bodies and the women would do the dirty business in the scalding vats. I miss those days.

I thought I knew a thing or two about fowl, but I now know just how truly ignorant I am of their capabilities. I reckon I'm gonna have to get me some more Hatch, Kelsos and Whitehackles again and see if I can't see some of this stuff for myself.  Might even throw in a Butcher or two. They have a tendency to be manfighters, but if you stick another rooster in front of them, that changes their mind in a hurry. Only think I don't like is they have went away from the Long Gaff (2 3/4") and went more to the 3" knives. Makes for faster fights, but I don't think it tests the gameness like the Long or Short Gaff did. Oh well, I guess eveything changes.

Just flipped the cushion over   

You are my kind of man Bill.

Hey, Skid Mark... it sure sounds like you have some pretty smart chickens there. 

You might really want to consider keeping such highly prized poultry like those safely out of the reach of roaming foxes and coyotes. 



For instance....  locked up in a certain mother-in-law's house. 







Just kidding, Bill's MIL

I think he called it some kinda wire

Chet I think I would get knots on my noggin iffen I done something like that 

[Hawks Feather]

Bill,

I don't know why we didn't think of this sooner, but you could make a funnel with the "specially named wire" that led to the MIL trailer.  That way the thief in the dark could get a meal that is bigger than a chicken, doesn't have feathers, and your life will be happier.

Chicken wire stuff.   That stuff is special made to put between chickens and thieves in the dark.

No wonder Semp is a pushing the wire
