How do you keep the mature mealbeetles from escaping and getting into your pantry?

Scenario one: Tetrazzini knocked up Striker on the day he died, and that went on to fertilize the egg which was laid a few days later.

Scenario two: Ghostcock impregnating our hens. Which is exactly what I'd expect that little douchebag to do if he were to come back from beyond the grave.

Ghooooost roosters ... on the tail!

one of my older Belgian d'Uccle bantam hens suddenly one day started CROWING (caused by a shift in hormones in older hens that happens sometimes) and confused the living Hell out of my two roos.

Sorry for your loss, BaronVonVaderham.

I finished my de-flocking (and crying all my tears) and have ordered some chicks for the end of March. I�m going with white naked necks from Mcmurray. My thought is to do the 3 clan method (spiral breeding) if I can swing it so I won�t have to reorder chicks every year. We�ll see how it goes.

I'm sorry for your loss. That must have been devastating.

I love "Side Chick" especially. Why do the eggs have their own slide?

Side Chick and Megatron have been relocated to the bachelor pad after both crowed in front of me and were found to be full of foam.

Full of foam?

I ordered 4. I am not sure if I am looking at a free hen, or if one of them is a drat cockerel pack-in. According to their fine print I was above the limit by which they have to ship a cockerel.

... what.

Start thinkin' up names, y'all! This year I decided to throw some font names into the hat...

Has somebody already offered Zapf and Dingbats?

I made some cockerel decisions today. Out of the three I kept from the Welp/Privett order:

Black Band has been aggressive with me

rear end in a top hat cockerels must go, but drat, Black Band is pretty.

TBF, you can tell by that roast that the chickens of then could do with some improvement. Look at that sharp bone ridge!

"They need at least three to four square feet per bird." Sigh.
