This 8 month old Buff Orpington pullet with her first clutch of bitties, started with 14 eggs broke two but hatched an even dozen, all mongrels or hybrids. One day old in the photo.

She did a good job. I have several extra Barred Rock roosters if you want one. Out of 30 eggs I got 21 roosters. I still have 5 or 6 left.

Time is a real problem. I don't know where it disappears to. I'll post on here before I eat the extra RIR so you'll have one last chance...

Pully Bone, you old coger they don't cut breast like that anymo, I mean I do but most people don't. I haven't heard that word in a long time.
I raise chickens for eggs, to eat, and fertilizer. About as good as it gets.

Ok for us youngsters what is a Pully Bone cut on chicken breast?

When I was a youngster (many years ago) the Pully bone was always discussed among the kids at the highest level. There were rules about how to hold the ends. Each person in the contest would hold the end of the Pully bone and pull. The Pully bone would eventually break and the one holding the long or short end (I don't exactly remember which) would be the winner. Thanksgiving, Christmas and other major holidays provided a much larger turkey Pully bone to pull.

The pully bone is in the breast of a bird.

Raising chickens for eggs, meat, fertilizer, and in a pinch, the insides work good for catfish bait. Besides all that, it is pleasurable to watch a mother hen leading her chicks around. The roosters serve as alarm clocks, (if they're like mine they crow at all hours). Chickens help dispose of any and all leftovers from the table. They entertain grandchildren. They provide food for all the preditors in a 5 mile radius. They keep the grasshopper population in control. They'll teach you to pick your tomatoes before they get too ripe. I could go on and on. It amazes me how many people now days live in the country and don't have chickens.

To put this in proper perspective, when the phrase of let there be light was uttered, yep Mr. Rod was the one who hit the switch.
