Aw, poor Butters. When I moved a rooster that had been with the hens all winter to another coop and substituted a new summer rooster in their group to hang out with them because he would protect them better free ranging, a number of them all went and slept outside their winter rooster's coop at...
Congrats, winners! BrettMo ... that chicken bell is really swell.
I would like to thank those who entered photos, stories, captions, artwork, etc., in the contests, because once I think about it, it's entertaining and a lot of fun to see/read all the entries. I mean, really, who (besides...
Was that the movie with There's gonna be trouble ... right here in River City? Something about pool tables? Or is that something else? (Too many movies, so little time. Saw Moneyball finally.)
