Title: This sounds like BS!
Post by: greyghost on December 15, 2008, 08:56:20 PM: I had a man Email me from Craigs list looking for birds. He told me he was going to look at some Texas A+M's this weekend. The owner told him they will reach 2 pounds. Is this c109?

Those birds would have to be the size of a 6 month old Ring-necked cock bird.

Actually, elemental lead can NOT be absorbed into the flesh of animals.

That fellow may be using the new 10 ounce pound. Even then, it would probably take two years to reach that weight.

Post by: Pretty_Bird on December 19, 2008, 08:48:19 PM: NO WAY that they ever get to that weight. I raise these little critters and the biggest ones I've had are about the size of t he Jumbo Bobwhites.
I really don't think that any body that misrepresents their birds that badly is any one I would want to do business with..... For Pete sake that is bigger than a Banty chicken!!!!
Have you bought any Ocean Front property in Arizona lately?
That would be a good place to raise 2 pound Texas A & M's.

That reminds me of the Cheech and Chong dog skit.

They are going to put their hair pulling and eye scratching aside for one last tour. I heard they might do "Basket Ball Jones" at the inaugural for Tyrone Shoelace, um er uh I mean Barrack Husein O'bomber.
