Title: Anyone with a farm? Post by: zelda on March 12, 2007, 11:59:49 AM Would you be willing to give a few hens the chance of life and peace?
Brighton Animal Action needs our help! >>> They have the farmer's permisson to liberate 13.500 free range hens who >>> will reach their 72 week egg laying period in April. They've done it >>> before in Brighton: in 2005 they liberated 4000 hens in 2days. This time >>> they want to take all the hens to a new life and spare them from the >>> slaughter. >>> >>> They have 6days to take out the hens and after those 6days the slaughter >>> van will pick up the ones that are left. So we need to help them so that >>> those slaughter vans will leave empty! I know its a longshot, but I thought I would try... Title: Re: Anyone with a farm?

Post by: RED-DOG on March 12, 2007, 03:36:43 PM I was once following a truck when a crate fell off and burst open spilling 5 chickens on to the road. These chickens didn't even have the sense to duck as cars whizzed past, they just stood there blinking in the light.
I started to gather them up, (they didn't run away) and managed to grab the 3 that didn't get run over. Back at home, I made them a makeshift pen and turned them loose, they were the sorriest sight you could ever wish to see. They had almost no feathers, they didn't know how to scratch the soil or how to peck corn from the floor, they would only eat and drink from a hopper, they didn't even know how to walk. Slowly, over the course of a few weeks, they started to look and behave like real chickens, and after a couple of months they were clucking and laying like mad. It was one of the most satisfying things I ever saw. Title: Re: Anyone with a farm?

"chipped" in ? what are you, some kinda circus act ? ;pokergods; Title: Re: Anyone with a farm? Post by: matt674 on March 14, 2007, 12:59:07 PM "chipped" in ? what are you, some kinda circus act ? ;pokergods; The resemblance to the game of golf is quite striking. You take your "club" and grip the shaft giving it a swing and tug at the same time - if you are lucky you don't pull the ball as this would put you at a severe disadvantage. If you pull off a smooth stroke the results can be most impressive............ Title: Re: Anyone with a farm?

Must make sure to follow through on the up stroke aswell. Best way to practise is to swing your club back and forth all the way till the desired action is achieved! Title: Re: Anyone with a farm?
