I have one chicken, Sophie, who was hatched and raised by a duck, and who once followed her mother duck into the pond and had a swim. The other baby chickens seemed to just know not to follow "mum" into the water, but much to my shock and horror, Soph ploughed on in to the water. I was heading in to rescue her, but lo and behold, she did swim. Did a few circuits, then got out. But she grew up rather affected I think as most of her own chicks have mysteriously drowned in water buckets. Never had any other chicks show any interest in getting in water buckets, so I think she was telling them to get in...and of course they couldn't get out again, and I'd find them drowned in the afternoon. Chick Welfare stepped in, investigations ensued, and Sophie is now banned from having any more children. But, as a swimming chicken, and resident whackjob, she might be willing to act in a consulting role with your money-saving Kontraseptic-inspired eco-project there LC. Or perhaps I will just ditch the vege garden idea, start marketing her as the world's only swimming chicken, and make money on the freak show circuit. 
st dont eat vegies...they taste like sh1te anyway Well as I mentioned to you...I did hear that smokers who eat fruit and veg are far more likely to get colon cancer than smokers who don't eat fruit and veg. So perhaps chocolate is a safer bet anyway. :laugh: | |

But what would chocolate be if you don't have a good vintage fruit juice, fermented of course. | |

Let's see, living in harmony with nature vs. making money... Go with the freak show. I'd pay to see a swimming chicken! | |

Just dont eat vegies...they taste like sh1te anyway and pound for pound chocolate is way cheaper.
Reminds me of a brilliant quote from someone I have forgotten.
SALAD IS WHAT FOOD EATS.
As for swimming chicken. I will have two front row seats please. Think they are evil, voodoo things and have theory like in olde worlde days like witches....innocent...they drown.....guilty.....they swim...so drown them. Think white wine, garlic and herbs is the best way to drown chickens.
Quickly runs for cover from the Naamah.....I do like chickens honest guv!!!!

| Cheap veggies Posted: 4/20/2009 4:32:55 AM | ^^^ Oyyyy, mitts off my Sophie! A girl who so loved her mum that she overcame genetic programming to stay by Mum's side and swim...risking life and limb, without the assistance of webbed feet or waterproofing. A good and dutiful daughter, the likes of which I've not seen before or since! The fact that she's now got a few screws loose just shows why we should never do what our Mums tell us. But now she might well be my future income...which is rather timely seeing as today I lost a writing contract that I thought was a go-er. Damn economy.
Am now working on establishing a survival strategy that revolves around recipes that are based on cigarette butts, seeing as that is my most readily available ingredient. We must work with what we have in these tough economic times. Cigarette butt soup anyone?  | |

Cigarette butt soup anyone? Yeah, I'll have some of that. Light on the cigarettes and give me a double scoop of butt thanks.
Whoohoo! | |

| Cheap veggies Posted: 4/21/2009 4:19:54 AM | Oy butt out of it!!!! Suggest if you wish to taste such exotic fayre visiting Hilly's would leave you starving. Though could call it Nouvelle cuisine...butt soup with nicobate cruotons liberally sprinkled with ground black ash. | |
