Hot Chick Picture
Not content to board the county's most unintelligent mammals, The Outpost is now home to the county's most unintelligent birds:
When these little buggers get bigger, we'll release them into the surrounding fields. We don't eat them, but the fox and coyotes and hawks will.
The last time we (this is a joint effort with our neighbors) raised pheasants, they (the pheasants, not our neighbors) decided to live in clusters at strategic points all over the farm. Like in the middle of the driveway. It's so annoying to be heading out and have to stop, unbuckle, and kick a few pheasants out of your way. Normally, I'd just run over them, but sometimes they don't go under the tire smoothly and they get caught up around your license plate and bumper. Very untidy.
Cuter than the cows, but not as tasty.
Posted by Cathy at June 17, 2004 03:44 PMIs a pheasant big enough for the Beer-Butt treatment?
