Re: Pray for rain/snow or learn to fish for chickens

I never heard of such uses of fishing rods before, ha! I hope the rods outlived the gopher and pig hook-ups? ;)

Re: Pray for rain/snow or learn to fish for chickens

Live crickets are fun to watch chickens chase after. Also, they love strawberries. Worked on my grandma's chickens. Might have to get creative to tie up strawberries, ha!
