Stupid big chicken

[gusherb]

The texture of dark meat is unpalatable to me, too much jelly/slime. I don’t like the plumped white meat either, I was unaware that was even a thing but I’ve definitely encountered that several times before and I won’t eat it when it’s so moist that it appears under cooked. In general I like meats slightly on the dryer side, unless it’s roast beef, smoked brisket or turkey, then the juicier the better.

A chicken IS the stupidest animal ever created,,

Don't believe me, Put something over a chickens head If it cant see light It will lay down and go to sleep It thinks its night Also When you cut their heads off the run around for several minutes Too dumb to know they are dead!!!

WE had a solar eclipse in 1970 that was enough to make it like twilight outside and all of the photocell-controlled signs came on. All of the birds took to the trees and stopped making bird noises for the 5 or 10 minutes of the darkest part of the eclipse, but woke up and resumed their daytime activities with increasing light.

Hey.

As JoAnne Worley would say on Laugh-In...

"Is that a Chicken Joke ?"

Chickens....

They may be dumb by some standards, but they are endlessly entertaining. A friend has a group of free roaming chickens at their acreage. It's interesting to see how they arbitrate and determine who gets the next bug that turns up. Definitely where the term "pecking order" comes from!

These are the medium sized brown and beige chickens like you see in kids barnyard books. Not sure the breed.

 

Ever heard of Brahma chickens? If not you should look them up.

 

Many folks get a lot of satisfaction out of raising different "fancy" breeds of chickens.

The Walgreens in our little town, just down the road from us, was built 25 years ago on property that used to be a small chicken ranch. The previous owners left the chicken coops and the chickens. The coops are long gone, but the chickens remain.

The employees’ of Walgreens fed the chickens, and to this day they thrive! There are several varieties of chickens that all roam free in the parking lot, the sidewalk and in the street. Everyone loves these chickens, they have become a trademark of Walgreens. They are beautiful and all healthy. At times there are several dozen just roaming around. Tourists are often seen taking photos, they just can’t believe what they are seeing.

That is awesome! What a unique calling card.

When I was in college, one of my housemates built a chicken coop on the side of the house. Unfortunately he didn't take into account the local raccoon population, and one night one or more raccoons decimated his chickens.

 

Another time, decades later, I was visiting a member of our car club at their home in the hills. They had built a chicken coop, but said something had killed all their chickens. I took one look and said, "Raccoons".

 

Hint: chicken wire doesn't keep out raccoons. You have to use something a lot stronger than chicken wire.
