Funniest thing.
The last 3 or 4 weeks I have been hearing a “cocka-doodle-doo” from the neighbor’s house on the other side of the tree line. There is a rooster and 5 hens in a wire cage behind their house.
Now, I’m living in the bush, Alaska and I have never heard of anybody raising chickens up here. The winter weather will kill them or the varmints in warmer weather will.
I have to wonder if they are brown bear baiting...LOL!!!
That’s what I would be thinking. Bear or wolves. Ya know, owls do get real tasty if they are bbq’d with crushed peppercorns and bacon. Be sure to do them well done and don’t eat the organs because they do tend to carry worms. SO do chickens. Humph Who would have thought they’re related.
Somebody up in your state is raising chickens. There’s a 448 page thread, plus other threads from Alaskans, on the poultry-related backyardchickens.com forum.
