Have lived next door to people that kept them, I don’t think I will. Cat liked them though.

How do you get the meat out of the rabbits? I mean, do you have them butchered? Where do you take them to get that done?

We are planning on getting some guineas this summer. We will keep them up by the garden. Our biggest challenge will be to keep them from getting eaten.

Last July, a rooster showed up on our doorstep. Literally.

We kept him for several months, but he became a little too aggressive with house guests who, I assume, he took to be his “hens.”

A kindly neighbor took him to the country to live on a farm.

I liked the little guy. He would jump on my outstretched legs as I sipped morning coffee on the porch and just sit down and get comfortable.

Beats the hell out of waking up to the neighbor’s guinea hens. At least the chickens keep the grasshoppers down...

Utah 21, Alabama 10 at the half... Go Utes!

Worst I have saw/heard was a freakin’ peacock. It was our bedroom window, single driveway, board fence, peacock’s cage, before a/c.

Pretty good alarm clock though.

We got the babes though. Our cheerleaders make the cowboys cheerleaders look like a group of neglected housewives.

Not surprising. There was an article a few months ago about how Los Angeles was having trouble enforcing “chicken laws” in urban settings.

Non sequitur.

Naw, the Mormons have BYU. They lost too.

Speaking of chickens, have you tried my beef recipe?

Never knew that. I do know the old tomcat we had at the time would have tried if he could have got him over the fence.

He did bring chickens home.

How do you get the meat out of the rabbits?

I have a good friend I grew up with in Iowa that makes a living processing rabbit meat.They are raised like any farm animal,and are brought in and he slaughters them himself and processes the meat.He makes summer sausage,hamburger,and some of the best jerky you ever had.I use to help him process when I'd be home on leave, and he'd give me a whole big box of the stuff.After I got out of the service,I'd bring him a few pounds of shrimp for a box .I'd take it to work and it'd be gone in no time.He also processes deer,buffalo,turtle and anything else he can get his hands on.
