Brownell’s has some smokin’ deals right now. Just sayin’.
why didn’t I get that one!!
Me jealous
Last summer a neighbour down the road added a rooster to their… not really sure what I want to call it… to their “coop” (?). The damn bird crows at all hours. The other night at 1 am it launched. I pondered several ways, ala John Wick / Wiley Coyote, for quieting that bird. It’s weird, the coyotes howling through the night don’t bother me, but that rooster is really annoying.
Regarding pigeons: I had a friend who used to “shoot” them with a slingshot loaded with dried chickpeas. Got rid of the birds but brought more racoons.
Some days you just can’t win.
I get along really well with my neighbors and their “little house on the prairie.” So after I casually mentioned the noise (“Does that thing have a volume button?”), they put a crow collar (cock ring!
) on their bird which quieted it down for a bit — damn thing was choking! However, little by little you can hear the “bird thing from hell” trying harder to crow and now it makes this creepy evil horror movie sound! ![]()

The highest greatest honor
for a chicken is to end up like this:

All chickens
should be happy if they end their days in a glorious frying pan!
Well said!
All this fried chicken
talk is making me hungry!
Me too.

Fried salmon, with rice and probably spinach on the menu today
Salmon: “In frying pan, no one can hear you scream!” ![]()

Sounds like a giant step sideways to me.
I guess your neighbour found a new definition for “choking the chicken”. ![]()
When the ads get too crazy here I just spend more time over at Scalemates
I recently posted something about making a homemade EMP device, then I saw this ad. At first glance I thought it was advertising a small EMP device, but it turned out to be an induction heating coil.
Even so - it doesn’t mean they’re not spying.
This one looks interesting, what is it for ?
