    Thanks for posting such a big pic :whip:

    Can you do better? have your wife or child hold the chicken ... they look like Bantams to me, but it's hard to tell....

    I'm okay with Bantams...

    Not sure how to make the picture larger but I will get something better. Not sure they are going to let anyone hold them as they are pretty wild. My brother raised them in a fly pen with Chukars and Quail. The rooster was crowing his fool head off this morning at 5:30. No eggs yet but they are still pretty agitated and evidently some dogs tried to tear the fence down yesterday. They barely even touched their food. Will they do better as they get used to a new place or do I need to add or change something? I have a dog trap I can set and have used in the past... I just hate to go there with crazy neighbors that I already have quite enough trouble dealing with.

    Hey Tony, was the hen that laid that giant egg walking funny the next day? She probably laid the small one the next day too. It was probably the best she could do what with the swelling and all.

    Egg puns aren't all they are "cracked" up to be.... Least not like they "rooster" be.

    Okay I am done... sorry... I know that was painful... there's just not much to do while I am "cooped" up at the office.

    Okay, here are a few from the internet:

    Raising chickens isn’t easy. You have to think outside the boks.

    Chicken-related humour is at a crossroads

    To use algebra to determine the worth of a chicken, simply calculate its egginvalues.

    This photo of a chicken nibbling my butt has an unusual ***-pecked ratio.

    I saw a rooster with a vagina, so I killed and ate it. No herm, no fowl.

    Those who feed coffee liqueurs to chickens and then bang them with a gong are part of a nefarious secret society: the Kahlua Clucks Clang.

    They did demolish some reject tomatoes from the garden.
