Looks like you own a LOT of land there mate!
I have just under 40 acres. The majority of it is farm fields and the rest of it is timber.
My little buddy
Izzy is such a spazz. She loves the Camara
Her eye makes her look cute!!! Is it like that all the time?
Yeah her eyes are always bulged out but not quite as much as they are here.
Your pictures are proof that the world is not flat...
These are the new breed of chickens that can literally walk on walls LMAO
This is Little Mother Fucker, check out his chest, I swear I believe he's on Tren, lolo
Seramas are the next breed I’m getting.
That’s one cool ass rooster.

Roger Jr and his lady.
Can you always identify the Cockerills by their higher tails and headspikes then?
Not so much when their first born, but at like a month old or so you can start telling them apart
How long do Chickens tend to live?
Really it depends on the breed of chicken, but they can live to be 10years old give or take a year or two
Ohh wow really - I imagined about 2 to 3 years max!!!
The chickens are all happy they got a clean coop today.
Whatup Shaun…I’ll throw you a lil tip ( no homo )…if you have the space and a lil resources invest in pigeons and cattle…cattle or “ money makers “ as I call em are the bang for the buck imo…plenty of protein , $ when the market is steady and always in demand …now for the pigeons, ….i havnt been around in awhile but this ABSOLUTELY a fact….press1 is a junkie when it comes to eating pigeons…I’ve “ heard” that some pigeons would lounge around his windows when he would workout in his loft…” ppppffff…I think they were there just to watch a grown ass neked man sweat while doing squats with bird seed spread on the floor……folklore has it , he has killed more pigeons by throwing a45lb plate at them than most people have with a shotgun….hes a true pigeon conisour…
Just my tip of the day bro!
Yeah I have my heart set on a few cows, for 2 reasons.
1- Foood source
2- I can grow my own mushrooms.
The wife would like to get some Pigeons, she just loves these kind.
Is that a bird or a hood ornament?
Dear Shaun, idk what the fuck that bird is but if you feed it clean protein and complex carbs I’ll be up for cooking that thing once fully grown!!!….
Seriously tho I don’t mean to hijack your thread by talking to press 1 I just wanted to chime in for a bit
No sir your not hijacking, comment and share all you want bro.
Here's what we have:
Yup those r the city chikns….P I think you need to eradicate the crow for your sanity…a brutha your size needs sleep!!….
So I'm guessing this is my yearly vist where you come and abuse Press because you don't know what to do with yourself as your woman has left you alone for a few days whilst she's gone off somewhere with her girlfriends!!!! LMAO Then I won't hear from you for another year
The pidgeons round the back have been very scarce over the past 6 months as there is this HUGE Evil crow that takes it upon itself to terrorize the entire bird population in the surrounding area starting at 5.30am in the morning - you can hear the Fucker landing at its various check points barking its head off waking everyone up LMAO Literally does circuits chasing everything away so they seem to have all gone to live somewhere else for the time being. The family underneath me and their bloody kids see it as some kind of game to scare the crow off with broomsticks and buckets. So not only do I get a fuckin crow waking me up, the idiots underneath then start banging the bathroom windows etc for the next hour too!!!! Guess you don't have to put up with any of this malarky on those Carribean beaches eh buddy!!! Lmao
You nailed it P!…actually the Mrs had to be in office for a few days this week and we r about 600miles away so she left me with no food prepared, half a bottle of whiskey and my debit card….oh, and a new mini labradoodle puppy that she had to have even tho I won 2 out 3 arm wrestling matches to vote against it…..this lil fucker weighs all of 5 lbs and can’t go without peeing every hr so I’m getting zero sleep till she gets back….i may try an experiment with him and put him in his outside kennel he has behind the house tonite and sit out there with my ar see if his whining draws in any coyotes….there r plenty around here them all the time….please don’t let Mrs drock I’m doing this n i promise I’ll send u a lil something for your discretion…other than that , things r good…she has me doing yoga of all things along with what workouts I already do and I will say it has definitely helped with mobility as approach the 60 yr old mark…r u still crushing the workouts and staying on track with the nutrition?…( no homo ) you’ve been a big ripped dude since I’ve been here n that’s like 10 yrs or so …ok, ( slight homo ) ….lol…hope all is well but the sun is going down , gotta get my camo on and the coyote bait outside…..
Drocky, don't tell me you are one of these undomesticated house husbands that can't even cook himself beans on toast whilst the wifes away??!!! Pah!!! The amount of cows you've butchered over the years on your farm you must at least be able to make yourself a homemade cheesburger bro!! So I guess whilst the wife is away its all Whiskey and Pornhub is it??! Yeah I'm still training buddy, couldn't ever live without it to be honest but I do wonder these days if its worth feeling beat up from after hard training sessions like back where it kills your motivation to do anything for 2 to 3 days afterwards lol HAHAHA Do you sit there on the porch with an AR shooting coyotes using the dog as bait then!!! LMAO 'So what happens to the Bait??? - Hard to say, But thats the nature of being the bait
RickE being RickE
I Like this Dog!!!!
Finally finished up a new chick coop
I see a tornado in your future.
I sure hope not.
Just your average British pub
Why is it that Goats always like to jump up on things and stand on top of rocks?
One theory is they are dopey cunts.
Another is
• Natural climbers: Goats evolved in mountainous regions, so their bodies are built for climbing. Their strong legs, balance, and split hooves give them grip and stability on steep, uneven surfaces.
• Safety instinct: In the wild, standing on higher ground helps them spot predators more easily and gives them a quick escape route. Height = safety.
• Hierarchy and dominance: Goats like being “top of the hill.” Standing higher can be a way to assert dominance over other goats.
• Curiosity and playfulness: Goats are very curious animals. Jumping and climbing is stimulating for them, like a mix of play and exploration.
• Comfort: They often prefer resting on rocks or elevated surfaces because it feels secure and keeps them off damp ground.
Goats are a trip.
Absolute nutters
Chickens in our part of the world love a lager
LMFAO!!! Is this actually at your Local??!!!
Yes. There are a load of chickens, Pygmy goats and ducks there. Chickens are famous and made local paper for being complete alcoholics. Soon as they see you with a pint they won’t leave you alone.
HAHAHA That's bloody hilarious!!! Do they get pissed and wobble around?
No mate just let you pet them. Typical birds after a few down their scrag hole! ;)
Bought me a 6month old Bluetick CoonDog last week, Going to get back into hunting raccoon hunting again. Use to hunt alot back in the day.

It’s a dag
Bet the rabbit gets fucked
Are they related to greyhounds?
