Chicken: the other tofu.

So that incubator action isn't penning out quite right yet (but will be continued and improved) but  I bought chicks at Orschelns'.  A mixed box layers hompers and fryers.  Well there are a bunch of those Cornish Cross white chickens in the mix and they make you realize that evolution can be reversed.   They have the personality of a box sand, when they do try to fly they look like bricks with wings and they eat so much and grow so fast that they fall over like a two year old with D cups.  They'll be good eating and riddance in a couple of weeks.  By the way, when you buy chicken meat in the store that is what you buy.  They make a great case for vegan.

OMG this post had us teary eyed with laughter! Those damn white chickens are a testament to how we don't want to change genetics! We had some one year..it was sad!
