    I thought that native BOP couldn't be used commerically which is why they always have Augar buzzards standing in for RT's, but I'm pretty sure that was a REAL RT.

    I think I see blue bands on the birds. So they are probably in another country since our closed bands are gold.

    Many times, it is done out of country. Likely Canada.

    That guy with the chicken was doing it all wrong! Everybody knows that Buff Orpingtons suck for falconry. He's got to get himself a nice Wyandotte like mine!

    Hey John, I wasn't judging her keel, I was pinching her nipples.... she likes it. Wyandottes have nipples to nurse their young with (little known fact)

    And Nick, yer not eatin' my favorite chicken!! Step back!

    I see you use block perches with your hawking chickens.Most people I've seen use a bowperch with them.

    Bjorn,
    Nice Rooster! If you ever want to put him into a breeding project, let me know. We could make some sweet hybrids.

    He's a full hardcore imprint, belonging to Steve Chindgren, you'd have to AI your chickens, to get something out of him

    Okay, I'll think about it. Is he a good semen donor? Or will I have to strip it from him?

    If you could believe it (maybe I shouldn't admit to this in "public") I actually learned to strip semen from falcons by practicing on roosters. I may have just taken this thread down a road that nobody wants to see it go.

    Scott, I think you started down that road with this!

    I find you can slip them in better with a siege catapult.

    Is this really a chicken reference or a 60's drug reference?
