The YouTube video below had been viewed nearly 500,000 times at the time I posted it below. It shows the “strange to us” ability of a chicken to keep its head completely still, even as the rest of its body moves in different directions.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Short of gift ideas for that person who really does have everything? Then how about an underwear repair kit or maybe a Barack Obama "Yes, We Can" can opener?

For Brooklyn real-estate agent Maria Mackin, the obsession started five years ago, on a trip to Pennsylvania Amish country.

To raise chickens, there are procedures and adaptations to attend to. One very good instance is introducing a group of “new” birds to a flock of old birds. It’s like managing to merge two restaurants when one is Italian and the other is Chinese. Stress will come along. And that is not an assumption but a fact.Many poultry owners who think that they’re ready to expand their chicken farm mak
Respect the chicken!Do you like chickens? More importantly would chickens like you? Have you ever done anything in your life that would impress a chicken?

There are so many reasons why someone would want or wouldn’t want a chicken in their backyard. There are debates about it and here are some:Pros1. Costs incredibly cheap.When we say cheap, not only does the chicken itself count but also the maintenance of it all. Compared to keeping a dog or a cat for a pet, it is much cheaper to take care of a number of chickens most likely because they are not

Raising chickens should not be a fuss. There are actually several reasons why people want to cultivate chickens in their backyard. Some of these are written below.Reason # 1 – Chickens love leftovers.A chicken’s appetite is incredible. They can eat almost everything, even their own kind! You can now say bye-bye to those unwanted leftovers being left rotten in your fridge. You feel less guilty
There are two types of chicks to raise: the ones you practically took care of from the moment they were hatched and the ones that you bought from hatcheries which are already taken care of and just needs further nourishing. Basing from the two choices, there are also two ways of properly raising the chicks before becoming the perfect chickens.Chicks hatched from your own poultry’s eggs basically
As the chicks get older, they would require less maintenance. Meaning, there are still some things to take care of but it’s less delicate than when dealing with babies.There are quite a few differences between taking care of newly hatched chicks and those that are like 2 weeks up to a month old. These are the chicks that already have prominent feathers and their bodies are bigger compared than w
Certain equipments must already be present upon the arrival of the chickens in your own backyard. You have to be geared up before presenting your not so baby chicks outside the world. The transition period can be quite stressful therefore being prepared can help you rid of half of the stress.You have to purchase a lot of items for your chicks to stay comfortable from where they would lay. You need
Chickens can eat almost everything from meat to vegetables. You can give them dog food and they’ll peck it with full gusto. You can give them pig food and they’ll eat it without hesitation. Chickens are cleaners of garbage tidbits. They can even wipe out every insect, worm, or anything little and more vulnerable than they are. The good thing about raising chickens in your backyard is that it n
As a poultry raiser, you have to know that from the moment they were lain, eggs must hatch after 21 days of incubation. It’s a good thing if your hen wanted to continue incubating her eggs. But if she doesn’t, there is always an alternative – an incubator.An incubator should have a temperature of at least 98 – 99 degrees. To measure the humidity inside the incubator, use a hygrometer or a
Growing chicks to chickens is hard work but is quite fulfilling, especially when you’re about to benefit from it. Chickens do change so quickly. Within just a month, you could notice development. On the beginning of life they are just little slimy egg contents and the next thing you know they can now chirp their way to the coop starting a whole new life - a life that’s self-sufficient and neve

So this is not a recipe as such! Or at all, in fact it's some pictures of a holiday taken in 2006... any idea where? As well as enjoying food, cooking and eating, I love travelling and especially the food experiences you get in foreign places.I have a photo shuffle screensaver set up, and when I came to my PC just now this picture was on display... a box of live frogs! As seen in a market in this mystery destination.The market contained many foodie delights, most of then live in some way or another! This guy I found very interesting - he is cutting the claws off chickens feet - taking them from the box by his lap, cutting the nails, and then chucking them in the bucket by his feet.Now some more market life shots - such a great array of food stuffs! This one is a little bit blurry but
The trade of live chickens will be banned in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta beginning in 2010 to fight bird flu in the world's hardest-hit nation, a livestock official said Monday. Poultry will have to be killed at government-licensed slaughterhouses outside Jakarta before being transported to market, said Edy Setiarto, adding that authorities need two years to prepare regulations and business owners for the change. Currently, many customers prefer to buy live chickens, which are then slaughtered to ensure the meat is fresh. Setiarto said 70 per cent of Indonesia's bird flu cases occur in Jakarta and surrounding districts. Last year, city residents were told they could no longer keep backyard chickens, but the order appears to have been ignored. "The government will improve efforts
For consumers, retail prices for broiler products is up 10% over the last year. For a company whose revenue in 2007 was $7.6 billion, a rise in costs of $1.3 billion ain't chicken feed. Bloomberg news reports: ``Our company and industry are struggling to cope with unprecedented increases in feed-ingredient costs this year due largely to the U.S. government's ill-advised policy of providing generous federal subsidies to corn-based ethanol blenders,'' Chief Executive Officer J. Clint Rivers said in the statement. The price of soybean meal in Chicago rose to $392.90 per 2,000 pounds, the highest since 1973, on March 3 and has gained more than 50 percent in the past year. ``Based on current commodity futures markets, our company's total costs for corn
I'm back on the Dive Team! (Junior Varsity, natch - if you missed the sad tale of my previous attempt at dumpster diving, you can read it right here.) I went out this evening with a different mentor (plus a fellow n00b), and we successfully rescued a whole bunch of fresh strawberries, maybe ten loaves of assorted sliced bread, some ground beef, shaved beef, sausages, and eggs, and a henhouse worth of organic free-range chickens from their landfill-rotting destiny. Nummy!New Mentor taught us padawans much about the subtle (and subtlety is key!) art of suburban gleaning. Her dive-fu is strong.Of course, none of us are really freegans. We all still eat food that someone valued enough to make us pay money for. But now that I've completed my first successful mission, I'm beginning to feel

As I was driving home from work one day I saw the strangest thing out of the corner of my eye. Alright, I was sitting in traffic and was staring blankly into space when it dawned on me that I was looking at an eighteen wheeler full of show chickens. One I was fully aware of what I was looking at, I grabbed my camera out of my purse. By the time I had my camera ready, the traffic started moving and naturally the lane with the show chickens left me in the dust. Thankfully traffic is a funny thing and I was able to catch up enough to take some blind shots. I was paying attention to the moving traffic at this point. I guess "The Powers That Blog" wanted you to see the show chicken truck because I actually managed to get a clear shot. I'm not exactly sure what kind of market there is for

During my years on this planet I have come to the conclusion that chickens can time travel. Some aren't as good as others, but the gift is still there.I know you're thinking of the staggering number of flaws with my theory. Well, don't do that, I haven't even told you why I believe this to be true: Chicken feed.That's right, chicken feed is the key to inter-dimensional movement. I discovered this while viewing a newborn chick. It was enjoying some tasty feed, when suddenly there was this faint sense of slow-motion, and then it had moved to the other side of the feed pen. Upon further observation, I can safely say this was no fluke occurrence. No less than 15 chickens had the same mini-adventure.You may be asking, 'why do you think it was time travel and not some common means of teleporta

And by "coming home" I mean sauntering on down the stairs from Councillor's Row to Ottawa's City Council chambers last night for a special, emergency session of Council to respond to Mayor Larry O'Brien being criminally charged by the OPP of bribery during last year's municipal elections. This promised to be high drama in the world of Ottawa municipal politics where Councillors could have a rare opportunity to play a part in a memorable scene of political theatre. Or, you know, ask a question or something.City Solicitor Rick O'Connor led off after a few rambling remarks by the Mayor to scare the beejebers out of everyone that if they were to discuss this matter currently before the courts, fire and brimstone would fall from the sky and rain legal Armageddon upon each and every member of Council. Well okay, that's O'Connor's job to remind Council that it is a political body, not a legal one. Duly noted.Then it was Council's turn. And they decided to...go home.Seriously? The bes
I can't remember where I heard this story but it has stayed with me for a long time. I tried unsuccessfully to find a version of it online so I'll just relate it as best I remember.Many years ago there was a man in a rural village who was very unhappy with his life. He lived in a small hut crowded with his wife, children and in-laws. His days were filled with toil and drudgery and at night he tossed and turned in his unhappiness.Finally he could stand it no longer so he sought out the wisest man in the village and asked him how to be happy again. The wise man didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately told the man to bring all of his livestock into his hut, down to the last pig and chicken, and then return in two weeks. The man balked at first but he dared not ignore the advice of the wisest man in the village so he trudged back to his hut to do as he was told.Oh the stench, noise and chaos over the next two weeks was terrible! Finally at the appointed time he returned, bed

Last week T. Boone Pickens offered to pay one million dollars to anyone who could disprove even a single claim from the Swift Boat Liars. I wish I had heard that as it sounds like easy money. Of course if you believe Pickens would actually make good on his offer there’s some email with business offers from some Nigerians which I’d like to forward on to you.
On Friday I posted John Kerry’s letter accepting this challenge. Pickens quickly reneged and has issued the following statement:
Dear Senator Kerry:
So glad to hear from you regarding the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth political ad campaign, and an offer I made public at an American Spectator dinner in Washington, D.C. last week. I am intrigued by your letter, and am certainly open to your challenge.
My concern at the Spectator Dinner was, and continues to be, that you and other political figures were and are maligning the Swift Boat Veterans, and I want to prevent this important part of American history from being
Here's a little bloggy tour of our chicken farm.
Alright, I can sense your immeasurable excitement, but hey, just maybe there are one or two of you people who just might enjoy reading the ends and outs of chicken farming, right?
I won't get my hopes up.
On with the tour...
Here's an outside view of one of the houses.
And another view of the outside. They are really long houses, see. 500ft. actually.
These are ventilation fans at the back of the houses. They are used to keep plenty of air flowing through.
These are reaaaaallly big feed bins to hold all the tons of food those little guys eat!
And another shot of a feed bin. Tall, isn't it?
Here is a smaller feed bin inside one of the houses. The feed travels from the big feed bins outside to these smaller ones through big plastic pipes like the one in the top of this picture.
Another small feed bin.
The feed then moves through more pipes to fill hundreds of pans like these.
Lots and lots of food!
Tonight, it's just us chickens. Phil has run away to Nebraska with a tall black man. I knew he'd leave someday, but leave me for a tall black man and the plains of Nebraska? I'm not sure anyone could have predicted that.Truthfully, Phil is doing his comedy stuff with the always entertaining J Marc, who may or may not be the father of my child. I'll never tell (click on the lil' speaker thingy). They are destined to entertain the Velcro-loving masses of Lexington, Nebraska. Why do they love Velcro so much? Because it was invented there. They even have a museum(*) dedicated to Velcro. Do you understand now why I am so disappointed that I didn't go on this trip? I could have toured a museum dedicated to sticky things with Phil and my Baby Daddy.So, us being the only chickens around, Amos and I strutted about the hen house and then broke free of the pen and pecked around the neighborhood.

The chicken industry loses billions of dollars worldwide because of a disease called coccidiosis. Coccidiosis is caused by parasites. The single-cell organisms infect and destroy cells in the intestines.Infected chickens lose weight from the disease. Less body weight means economic losses for producers. The disease spreads from bird to bird through infectious droppings. Sometimes infected chickens die from the disease. The infection causes diarrhea, and infected animals may not want to eat. Other kinds of animals, including cows, also get coccidiosis.But research by Hyun Lillehoj and her team could offer a new way to reduce losses from the disease. Hyun Lillehoj is an immunologist in the Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. She works in the Animal Parasitic Diseases Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland. She led a team of scientists from research centers in South Korea.She says many producers traditionally use drug treatments and live parasite vacc

On the second day I was up at 7:30 and there was no hope of seeing dgym for some time yet so I set about getting the stove set up for our porridge, and foraging for blackberries. Dgym emerged two hours later, still tired from his disturbed sleep.Blackberries and porridge are a lovely combination, or so I thought, dgym decided he wasn't so keen on porridge after all so started considering alternative breakfast solutions.Tuesday was not kind on the legs, and we only ended up riding 15 miles. The few miles to Whitchurch Canonicorum were OK but then were faced with our first arrowed climb (the designation on our map for steep gradients) followed by a similar descent to Wooton Fitzpaine, where we were delighted to find dozens of swallows waiting for us on the overhead phone lines. Having recently become rather fond of swallows after moving in next door to a nestful of them, we were quite pleased to see this.A longer and more difficult climb stood between us and Monkton Wyld Cross.

Dear Useless Men,A girl from work hooked me with this guy she was friends with for the past 7 years. Seemed like a nice enough guy at first so I talk and dated him. When the sex talk began I told him I do not want to unless I am with the person as a couple. After about two weeks of dating we did the funky chicken. He stopped calling and was only texting me for three days straight. I texted him and asked him if he was still interested. He said yes so I called him and we talked. In that talk he went from "yes I want to be with you" to "no I do not see myself with you" to "lets be friends". I am pretty blunt and asked him not to give me a line if he was not into me just to say that. I asked him to come over after he was done with his friends and he said yes. I started think maybe this is a lie so I sent him some text messages that told him that I know he not coming over and that he was using me. He never responded to them so the next day I sent him and email that was not nice. I called

I really am rather naughty, aren’t I? I spent the entire day on Saturday last week being tied to the kitchen as I churned out a number of dishes to blog, and I haven’t blogged a single one! However, it can’t be helped - I have an almost ridiculous amount of work going on with uni at the moment, and the idea of sitting down and banging away on the keyboard for longer than necessary is kind of really chafing my arse (which, to you Northerners, is our sensible equivalent to your gluteul reference - ‘ass’) at the moment.
No, really. I almost feel like I’m developing bed sores, my arse has carved itself a nice little hollow into the seat and as I get more and more stressed, I feel like I’m melting to the chair. Who the heck said that students have it easy? What a load of bollocks - trying to be a good student is a downright pain in the butt!
Okay, so enough of my bitching and moaning, yeah? Let me tell you more about this dish. Now, I’ve me

A 600-year-old chicken bone from Chile is found to be carrying a rare mutation that can be traced to the Polynesian islands, thus strengthening the idea that the Polynesian islanders were able to traverse the pacific, and overturning the assumption that chickens were imported into the New World by Columbus.
Chickens originated from Southeast Asia, and could have been brought to the Polynesian islands from the Austronesian expansion and migration from between 5,000 and 2,500 BC. Originating from Taiwan, the expansion travelled down to Philippines, Borneo and the Moluccas; some went westwards towards Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula while others headed eastward towards Polynesia by 500 AD.
The tracing of chickens to a Polynesian origin also refutes one of the assertions in Gavin Menzies’ 1421 thesis, who argued that the existence of ch

We see the boys playing with ceramic chickens. Today's cook-off between the two chefs is Roasted Chicken definitely taken up a few notches. Michael defines the battle as being between the "Italian Stallion and Ragin' Cajun...dukin' it out."Michael starts by brining his chicken to get a head start on the flavor. He's going to make a brine and then add ice to it, to bring the temperature down quickly. To a 1/2 gallon of water, he adds 7 cups (!) of kosher salt, peppercorns, 2 tbls. juniper berries (available in any supermarket), brown sugar, and bay leaves. He brings the mixture up to the boil, adds the ice to chill the mixture quickly and sets aside to cool. Now MC is
In the spirit of that, I'm sitting on some news. I've been waiting on something and I'll probably know the outcome one way or the other in a few days, so next time I post I may be happy, disappointed, or somewherre in between (if I'm still waiting to find out the outcome).It's been cool and wet up mauka today, with rain most of the day... a rarity here in Kona at our elevation. I talked with Bob earlier today, he was out with another company, said it was pretty nice on the water as long as they stayed out of the south facing spots. We've had a pretty good south swell the last couple of days, apparently yesterday was particularly nasty and the best diving was up in the Sand Chute and Garden Eel Cove area off the Kona airport where we do our night dive.It'll be curious to see if the swells bring our water temps up. It's about the time of year the temperatures start to bump back up slowly.The picture above is of a Pebble Collector Urchin. The common form is dark blue and look
One of the green things or dreams id to have some chickens, nothing displays the green person more than a whole load of chickens walking around your garden. But in reality it is not as easy as it first appear, you need to building or something suitable for them to live in and some sort of run, this all means work and if they do not turn ok, then you can fine your chickens running all around the neighborhood.
There is a great new product that easy to maintain and manage; the principal is similar in design to those new pet carriers that are around now. However the one thing that is slightly off putting the name of the company is Omlet!
The Eglu as they are called are suitable for both chickens and rabbits, the basic kit will cost you around $495, but you can also buy the complete kit which comes with chickens, not all in the same package of course.

Description:Redneck Kentucky and the Next Generation Chickens is a first-person shooter ideal for gamers who grew up on a farm and developed an extreme distaste for chickens. The rest of us may be wondering why these harmless creatures must be exterminated - but "why" is irrelevant. These little bastards must die! Each dead chicken is worth points, and you need as many points as possible to finish a level. Pick 'em off in the sky and from a distance for extra points. And don't worry, the action isn't bloody. The little things don't want to hurt you. Shame on you.Screenshots WallpapersVideoRedneck Kentucky - DemoRelease Date: 16 March 2007Genre: Action
Yesterday the Supreme Court ruled in Gonzalez v. Carhart that Congress has the authority to prohibit certain late term abortion procedures.When the constitution was drafted there were severe limits on the ability of the federal government to regulate the activities of individuals. And state's rights was more than bigot hogwash.But for decades, liberals and progressives have looked to the federal government to right all the wrongs of the Republic. And yesterday it backfired.In 2003 Congress passed the partial abortion ban which prohibits certain late term abortion procedures. The authority of the Congress to do this purportedly emanates from the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, which permits federal regulation of trade between the states.I tend to think the performance of an abortion procedure in a free clinic in Cheyenne is not really an activity within the stream of interstate commerce.And if I was one of the Supremes I would have come down on the side of Planned Parenthoo
There were some others who quoted this most recent look at DC sales on The Beat, and I guess I will too, even if it's later than most others:DC Comics are increasingly struggling to keep up with Marvel in terms of market share and chart domination. The good news is that DC’s average sales recovered somewhat in February, thanks to a strong debut of new team-up title The Brave and the Bold, and to a bunch of high-selling titles returning to the shelves after being absent for various reasons in January. However, for the first time in two years, the publisher failed to break the 100K barrier with any of its releases — in fact, Justice League of America and the elusive All Star Batman are now the only DC titles which haven’t dropped below that marker, and DC doesn’t seem to have any obvious new 100K+ sellers lined up for the next several months. Additionally, the problem of late-shipping titles persists. Justice League of America #6, Teen Titans #44 and Superman Confidential #4 are
Why is the left so afraid of Fox News?Fox News is probably the only major media outlet that doesnt have a left leaning bias and yeah that does scare the nutroots a lot. They are so accustomed to the media always being on their side the slightest whiff of a non liberal stance strikes fear into their hearts. So they proclaim Fox as The Great Satan and are clueless how they are stifling free speech.How many debates would there be in the Republican party said no every time any organization with a liberal stance was involved? How about none. The irony of the Republicans being the standard bearers of free speech and the Democrats being the ones to shut it down is indeed delicious. I had thought better of Obama than to give in to this. I guess the herd mentality runs deep in Democrats.Initially the Democrat Party and the candidates themselves were going along with a Fox co-sponsored debate just fine. That is until online Democrat activists decided to flex their muscles. It would make a stri
My friends are generally shocked to discover that I drive the speed limit. Those who know me and work alongside me think of me as a fast-paced multi-tasker whose mind works at supersonic speeds and whose mouth moves even faster. The dichotomy between my personality and driving persona couldn't be more divided than the chasm between the northern rim of the Grand Canyon and its southern edge.Driving hypnotizes me to the point where I fall asleep. I always add one hour to my drive time, because more often than not I need to pull off to the side of the road and take a nap. My drowsiness slows my reflexes, hence my conscious decision to drive the speed limit.You'd think that by keeping to the right side of the road I would be protected from road rage. Are you kidding?

Yahoo News story link Democrats cancel Fox News debate By Dan Whitcomb 2 hours, 25 minutes agoLOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Nevada Democratic Party officials said on Friday they were canceling a presidential debate co-sponsored by Fox News, following a joke chairman Roger Ailes made about Democratic candidate Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record). In a letter sent to Fox, Nevada State Democratic Party Chairman Tom Collins and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (news, bio, voting record) said Ailes "went too far" with comments made the night before.The letter makes no reference to a crusade by the liberal activist group MoveOn.org to boycott Fox, which it calls a "right-wing mouthpiece." Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards dropped out of the debate on Thursday, citing in part Fox's participation.The letter also does not specify which comments by Ailes lead to the decision, but a Democratic source told Reuters it was a joke Ailes made about Obama
Chickens,pen and ink on illustration board, 12"x12" and/or 8"x8"giclee available on paper or canvas at my website Beautiful chickens rule the roost with vibrant reds, crisp whites and rich blacks. Ideal for kitchen or dining art. From my original pen and ink drawing.
John Stossel uncovers the fact that the Federal Government pays thousands of workers to stare at dead chickens. It is a mostly useless, inefficient program (most gov’t programs are highly inefficient) that does virtually nothing to accomplish its objectives.
Here’s a job that’s really for the birds: staring at dead chickens.
The job is tedious, done in unpleasant places, and largely useless. But you and I pay thousands of people to do it.
A federal website for job hunters says the Department of Agriculture has “many vacancies — nationwide” for “bright, energetic and committed people like you to carry out its mission to protect consumers by ensuring the meat, poultry and egg supply is safe, wholesome and truthfully labeled.” So if staring at dead chickens is your idea of a good time, there is a job for you with the USDA, inspecting poultry. And don’t worry that you’ll lose the job because it doesn’t do much
Now let’s address Solubility.If you think about visiting the physician in an emergency situation, the drugs and medicines used are started immediately, or intravenously. When injecting medicine into the blood, it is delivered in an aqueous or water-soluble form. This is done because it meets the body’s requirement for proper delivery to all organs, tissues, and cells. As stated from the textbook Pharmaceutical Dosage: “Drugs or nutrients administered in solution are absorbed much more rapidly than those administered in solid form, since the process of (digestion) is not required.” In applying this to nutritional supplements, the same logical thought process can be used. As further stated in Pharmaceutical Dosage: “…water-soluble solutions are in a form most conducive for absorption into the bloodstream…”When applying this specifically to mineral supplements it is especially important, since minerals are found naturally as metallic compounds or simply put ROCKS.Rocks b
