I rolled under the truck to pop a fuel line off, and it became readily apparent why it is so loud.

some asshole cut the converter off and stole it while it sat at the law office.

and they weren't nice to me as the guy that has to put a new (used) one back in the jagged hole they left.

people suck...

@Rockhead,

Quit calling it fornicating. You might as well be saying he is "making love" to his hens. He is just doing what nature tells him too.

I never thought about it....how do chickens take care of business? I never thought about it with birds either. huh. How odd.

@Rockhead,

So what happens if one of the hens lays an egg to that turns out to be a cockle? Will Barney kill the cockle, or will cockle be allowed to grow up and will the cockle fight Barney for the harem of hens. Is it a fight to the death or will the defeated just forced to go somewhere else? Or will the harem of hens be "shared" by both?

@mismi,

chickens do it doggy style, if that's what yer askin'...

and there doesn't seem to be much love involved. he grabs the back of her neck with his beak, she squawks, there's a cloud of dust, and he's done.

no kiss, no thankyou m'lady.

then he jumps on another.

as to baby roosters, all of my eggs get eaten as eggs...

Although I'm sure it exists.

@Ticomaya,

@Ticomaya,

Could it be Random Aggressive Physical Entry?

@Butrflynet,

Yes. That is it Butrflynet.

Cockadiddling.

Procreating would be the proper term -though very boring. Fornicating is sex between two consenting adults. Sounds like the hen isn't very consenting.

@mismi,

I think I'll refer to it as "dobbering"...

when gram really gets mad at someone, after they've gone, and it's just me and her, she refers to them as a chicken dobber.

and she's not talking about the little red thing on top of their heads...
