0:00
- Well, hey. Come on, Lou.
0:05
We are all decorated for the 4th of July, y'all.
0:08
Eddie's got flags and banners everywhere and I love it.
0:13
And look who just showed up, Captain Michael.
0:18
(pots clanking) - Hey, y'all.
0:20
- I can't believe it, what perfect timing.
0:23
So let me tell you what I'm doing in this video, Michael.
0:26
I'm not cooking, but I am feeding.
0:31
Look what I got for the chickens.
0:32
Whoa, watch it, Grace.
0:35
Look what I got for the chickens.
0:37
- Oh, yeah. - Crickets.
0:39
- Love them. - They love crickets.
0:42
- Hank and I used to catch grasshoppers when we were little.
0:46
- Uh-huh. - 'Cause we had this little
0:48
tall head of grass- - You don't see
0:49
grasshoppers anymore.
0:51
- We had a tall head of grass so you could walk
0:53
through them and just catch them.
0:54
We'd catch them by the dung hill.
0:56
- And were those those pretty colored ones
0:58
that were all colors? - No.
1:00
For some reason, we couldn't catch those over here, but-
1:02
- Out at River Bend, the property was just covered
1:07
with those beautiful grasshoppers.
1:10
- Those were all just little green ones.
1:12
- Am I making you nervous?
1:13
- No, but I, it's childproof, I think I was gonna help you.
1:16
- Well, it was a tight rubber band.
1:20
All right, so I gots, I got a story to share with y'all.
1:24
Here, you wanna hold that rubber band?
1:28
- The other day, Eddie let the chickens out
1:32
so he could clean the cage out.
1:36
Well, when it came time to,
1:39
when he got through and it came time to put them back,
1:43
he saw one of our little chickens right over here.
1:47
They love to go over there because it's a little dirt patch
1:50
and they love to just dig in the dirt.
1:52
I guess it's cool for them.
1:54
- That's how they bathe, believe it or not.
1:59
- Doesn't sound clean, does it?
2:00
- So Eddie walked over there, y'all,
2:04
and the little chicken was dead.
2:08
And he looked closer,
2:12
and she had a wasp in her mouth,
2:16
and no telling how many times it had stung
2:19
that precious little baby and it killed her.
2:25
So I would never ever have thought about that.
2:29
And here comes our cousin pulling up. There's George.
2:34
George! Georgie Porgie.
2:39
- That chicken was old too. - No, they not that old.
2:42
- Oh yeah, they are for chickens,
2:44
they are. - About six years.
2:45
- We hadn't been here six years in this house.
2:47
- They're about ready
2:48
for the roaster, I believe. - Probably about five, yeah.
2:54
- George! - He's on his phone.
2:57
- Oh, he's talking on his phone.
2:58
- I think - Windows are rolled up, so-
3:00
- I can't see. (cackles)
3:03
- Do you want me to turn the crock pot on now?
3:05
- [Paula] No, I do not. No, I do not.
3:10
Well Michael, Eddie and I got
3:14
out a little bit this afternoon.
3:17
- Yeah. - Just piddling.
3:19
- Uh-huh. - And we got some more fish.
3:23
We got some koi. Y'all wanna come see 'em?
3:27
They've already been released.
3:30
- [Eddie] You may not see them.
3:31
They have been hiding. (water trickling)
3:35
- [Michael] Yeah, until they get comfortable,
3:40
- [Paula] I don't see them.
3:42
- [Michael] There's some over here by the-
3:44
- [Michael] Right here. There's one right there.
3:49
- What color is it? - Gold.
3:51
That's why they call them goldfish.
3:52
- Well, I wish I could see them.
3:57
You know before, we lost them all from the freeze.
4:02
All this froze, y'all.
4:08
It just killed all of our fish.
4:11
But I could walk out here and all,
4:13
and it was probably 20 or 25,
4:15
and they would all rush up to the top of the water
4:21
because they knew they were fixing to eat.
4:25
Well, these are not real big, I think there's,
4:28
Eddie said the koi that he bought was,
4:33
I was not with him then, and he said they-
4:37
They're three or four inches long, right, Eddie?
4:40
- [Eddie] Yeah. They'll start coming up.
4:43
They've started coming up in the morning to get some food.
4:46
- Yeah, yeah, well this afternoon I came out
4:50
and threw a few pellets out,
4:52
but nobody moved a muscle for me.
4:55
So y'all, it is so fun
4:59
to watch chickens eat worms or crickets, so fun.
5:06
But we have lost, we started with 10 chickens
5:11
and we're down to four now.
5:17
I think, I hate to blame it on Fang,
5:20
but two of them had their head pecked and that killed them.
5:26
And I kind of think it might have been Fang.
5:30
And even though he can be a bad boy,
5:31
I do love Fang, he's so cute.
5:34
But how do you think we should, 'cause I want y'all to see.
5:38
And I think our chickens are depressed.
5:43
I think they're depressed. - They're old, Paula.
5:46
- [Paula] Well, I've had chickens live longer than this.
5:52
So should we feed them in there?
5:55
- Yeah. - Or, 'cause I do want
6:02
Bock, bock, bock, bock, bock.
6:04
Look at Fang, sitting up there so pretty.
6:06
Can you see him, Eddie? - Yes.
6:09
- [Paula] He's so pretty. Pretty bad boy, yes, he is.
6:15
He's cock of the roost. - He is the max.
6:17
- Uh-huh, all right. Here we go, here we go.
6:20
Look, whoa. Come on, come get 'em.
6:26
You got him. You got him.
6:28
Come on, bock, bock, bock, bock, bock.
6:34
Come on, come on, come on, little hen.
6:38
We didn't have but just a couple.
6:43
- Look out. - Come on, come on in here.
6:46
- One day they should eat you. - Come on.
6:50
- Your treaps. - Come on. Come on, get 'em.
6:54
Get 'em, get 'em. - They need to be bigger.
6:57
How do you know they can see 'em?
6:59
- Yeah, I know. - I've learned-
7:01
- Come get your- - They do not
7:03
like plastic bags for some reason.
7:05
- Okay. - They see them,
7:06
they go crazy when they see a plastic.
7:09
- [Paula] Get them, little hen.
7:11
You got him. You got him.
7:14
You got him. (laughs)
7:20
- That one's got it going on. - Uh-huh.
7:25
We didn't have enough to get excited about.
7:32
Sorry about that. Sorry about that, little chick chicks.
7:42
Next time, I'll bring y'all a bag full.
7:53
(Paula imitates crowing)
7:55
- [Michael] Worms might be a bad idea.
7:58
- They can see 'em. - I don't know if PetSmart
8:00
had worms or not today.
8:02
Did you notice anything? - But you can go
8:03
to like fishing places and get one.
8:06
- Yeah. (rooster crowing)
8:09
(Paula imitates crowing)
8:12
They're still getting them, they hadn't gone that far.
8:18
They're so pretty. I love those chickens.
8:24
- I like them with barbecue sauce.
8:28
- Isn't he awful, y'all? He's just terrible.
8:31
He likes his with barbecue sauce.
8:33
- That's what we do if they stop laying.
8:35
We get a bucket of Colonel's fried chicken
8:39
and put right out there and let them see it,
8:42
and they start laying. - Is that right?
8:45
- 'Cause they know what's next.
8:46
- No, not my chickens.
8:50
They don't know that that's next 'cause it's not happening.
8:55
Well, sorry it wasn't more exciting, y'all.
9:00
But like I said, next time I'll get more.
9:05
