    It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

    Somebody clipped her tail feathers.

    Nice example. My books say it was made in 1911 or 1912, depending on serial number assignment or polishing room records. Trying to squint these old eyes at my tablet screen to determine if that is a crack on the right side behind the receiver. Otherwise it looks to be in pretty good shape for an old girl and should do really well. I'd be interested but you won't include the chicken.

    Looks like a typical bait and switch to me!😁😁 Bob

    Should fetch even more, being a farm gun and all! Chickens may be worth their weight in gold soon enough.

    PS, mine arent for sale either.

    No. A couple of years ago, she was attacked by a hawk or a buzzard. It picked her up and carried her over the side fence, but I reckon she was too heavy, so the predator dropped her. She had a broken breast bone, a broken left leg, and her back was shredded. There is a place where the tail and back meet that no feathers grow.

    When it happened, I thought she was a goner, but Dawnie wouldn't give her up. We kept her in the house for 5 months while she recuperated. Dawnie made a splint for her leg out of Q-Tips and tape.

    That's Doris. Doris is very friendly, but she is the boss chicken.

    Chickens are darn funny animals. Some days you'd swear they're out to take over the world and the next you wonder how they remember to breathe.

    Ricci has a nice 1897 that's doin' real good. Yours has much better wood, David.

    She probably wanted to know why you were hiding the serial number.

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain
