One day, she sheepishly asked what was up with the Bam-ba-lam names and we played the RamJam cover. The first recording, however, was done acapella by James "Iron Head" Baker and a group from the Central State Farm (prison), Sugar Land, Texas in 1933. There are field recordings in the Library of Congress. Lead Belly recorded it in 1939.

I've had Buff Orpingtons once... and fell in love with them! Even the roosters are gentle! Your "dark shade" comment reminds me of something... I built a chicken tractor out of 2x2's with 2x4's as a base against the ground. Just a basic 8'x8', with 18" high walls, then topped with "trusses" to make a ridge 6' high. One roost across from side to side, and another roost running overhead under the peak gives plenty of stability to the coop. (A diagonal support from one end up to the overhead roost helps, too.) Put a door on one end. I covered the whole thing with wire. Chicken wire on the ends and sides, and 2"x4" utility fencing over the roof, for strength. Find a DARK tarp to cover over the roof and down both sides to the ground. Very rainy or winter weather will require plastic over the ends, but don't make it too tight against the wind. Be sure to leave plenty of air flow... or your chickens may get pneumonia! Now the fun part: attach a strong gauge wire to two corners, looped long enough to pull the structure over the grass. Thread it through a section of old garden hose, to make it easy on the hands. A nail placed just right to hang the wire on, keeps it up out of the way. This chicken tractor is very lightweight and easy to move daily. And the eggs from such "pastured hens" (ala Joel Salatin) are out of this world! The chickens daily run to gobble down huge amounts of fresh green grass every time they're moved... especially if you move them about daybreak. And this makes the egg yolks darker than usual.

@@marah7275 , each bird will give up to 5 eggs a week. I've found that only happens under ideal circumstances. Regular egg-chickens make 4 to 5 eggs normally. Silkies and those with better feathers produce less eggs to concentrate on feather production. My city chickens lay almost nothing due to environmental stress. With 3 city chickens, I get about 3-5 eggs total and have much more broody time.

Calistyle 89viz why would you get a hunting dog to be a LSDG? That’s common sense

Whatever breed you're considering, please rescue. You can rescue almost any breed you can think of. You'll save a life and open up space for the organization to save more.

Don't listen to calistyle 89viz, my son has a Redbone coonhound and I LOVE his melodious baying. You won't have any unwanted critters either, not to mention their sweet, silly personalities.

Hmmm, you do know what you are saying!! The only two breeds that I have had, and loved, are Buff Orpington (now) and Black Australorp (still have 2 for hatching eggs) You are totally right!!!! :)

Would you recommend getting a chicken as a pet bird to live in a apartment?

Christopher M Thank you for spelling the chicken breeds. I couldn’t tell what she was saying until I saw your post.

@@ChristopherAMacleod Thank you I was wondering about that. I know that a roster would not work out. I didn't know if these chickens would work or not. So thank you.

I've been researching the Orpington's but didn't know about the Black Australorps. Thanks for the great info. I have children and live in a neighborhood in NC so it sounds like either breed would be great for us. (The Australorps perhaps a bit better)

Can you tell me the reasons you think that is better breed? I'm trying to figure out which to get. I may want 2 & 2 of each breed, but not sure

Hi CoUponMoMm I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹🌹🌹
