After feeding the chickens this morning I was just thinking. It's a good thing they aren't any bigger then they are or they might be dangerous. We have 6 now and feed them the regular chicken feed but also feed them table scraps. My son has found worms and newts and feed them to the chickens also. Everytime we feed them the extra stuff they act like piranha at a kill.
A few years ago we had some free range chickens. We lost a couple to fox or whatever and had 4 chickens left. Three of them were white leg horns and the other one was a road island red. And do you know that the 3 white ones would not let the red one join their clan. So I befriended the red one, I'd pick it up, give it alittle extra scraps and so on. Well the harassment didn't last forever. Most mornings I would get into my Mack dump truck with a backhoe on the equipment trailer at around 5:30am and drive 45 miles to the job site. It was a 20 degree morning that morning when I left for work, most of the drive was on highways doing 55 to 65mph. I got within a mile or 2 to the job and stopped at a 7-11 store to get a coffee and bun. By this time it is light out. When I come out of the store I see 3 white chickens clucking around the parking lot of the 7-11...I say to myself somebody must have chickens around here, and then at the same time I think what the heck their my chickens. I left them there...even if I could catch them, I wasn't going to put them in the cab with me.
So anyhow, from then on or there about, the red chicken even if it was out back would come running as I was backing the rig in and be standing there looking up at me as I was getting out.
true story, no I didn't plant the white ones on the trailer I guess they picked the wrong place to roost that night. and no I didn't do a very good pre-trip inspection. lol

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
