Heimlech manuver on a hen?
I let my free range birds out this morning, and they all were running around eating the grain I'd scattered. Suddenly, I noticed one of the hens, maybe 3 or 4 years old, maybe 6 (I've had birds for 20 some years, standing there with her mouth open. She seemed in some sort of distress, so i picked her up and took her to the water can. She didn't drink but started fluttering. I shook her head down, but no good. She was dead in about 30 seconds.
The only thing I can figure is that she got some grain in her windpipe.

I have a feeling this primitive is being stingy with the grain ration. If the chickens (or in my case, ducks) don't think there is enough to go around, they'll eventually start trying to pack down as much as they can, as fast as they can, when they can get it.
The hint for me was "free range". Free range doesn't mean they still don't need a decent helping of grain, silly primitive.

I would say it was more likely suicide, though im sure UGP will soon be following up after the seance with blackey having talked to the chicken and we will find the real reason (will most probuably be cited as the chicken was full of despair due to the KFC stacker or something)

I'm thinking this whole situation is called Sunday dinner.

I loved hunting groundhogs up north in mowed hayfields. I've even made a few trips back up there for that purpose.
They're rare critters here in red state hell. They can't burrow through bedrock.

Groundhogs makes good suppers :drool:

If they're half-grown. Try cooking a big one, and you'll need to ventilate your house for a couple of days.
They're encased in fat that has a really unpleasant odor when it cooks.
Full grown groundhogs and diving ducks are the only game I've ever killed and then been unable to eat.

We got them out the wazoo here. They were so bad on our farm, when Dad ran a hay wagon into one of their holes, and folded the frame of the wagon underneath it, he declared war.
We loaded up our 1,500 gallon manure tank with "liquid organic fertilizer" and commenced to flushing them out of the holes with it. Armed with a .38 pistol, a .22 rifle, and 3 dogs, we killed 26 groundhogs and 3 skunks in that one field alone.
No more broken machinery after that.
I've got 2 of them "testing" the electric fence I've put around my garden. It give me pleasure to hear them scream out when they hit the wire. :evillaugh:

between my neighbour and me we have shot over 40 in the last month, his freezer is full and my wife purposely filled ours before hand in order to keep rodents out. Hopefully my okra will recover but i still got some coming in from the woods so i may have to just stake out my garden and use the twelve gauge as its easier to hit something with when you are drunk..

Choking chickens. The humor writes itself.
