Francolins are really good eating.
Reluctant to fly, it's like shooting a lizard.

These are partridge, (grouse) and they are not supposed to fly through upstairs windows, but I suppose when the trees here are around a hundred twenty five feet high, they work their way up in small flights sometimes.

Francolins are partridges and are tasty and are reluctant to fly.

Grouse are grouse.

en.wikipedia.org... It states in here that some people incorrectly call them grouse.

Around here we go partridge hunting, not many people call them grouse. I guess it is part of the older Yooper dialect. Then we have prairy chickens which are sharptail grouse, not chickens.

Chickens are also reluctant to fly.

The way they are having problems with jets now, I am reluctant to fly.

Not if it involves a planet which enters the inner Solar System on a regular basis.

That one will not stick.

Why not ? Astronomers theorize there may be an enormous amount of rogue planets out there.
Who is to say that one day 100,000 years from now one will not come barreling through this solar system like a round from a 5.56 ?

Rogue planet.

I guess you missed the part about "on a regular basis."

Not true . They fly up and roost in trees. Natural defense against predators .

a reply to: Gothmog
Never seen a chicken nest in a tree.
But I said reluctant, not that they can't.

I guess you missed the part about 100,000 years. Why not cyclic ?
See , regular basis is subjective to time...
1,000,000 years ? Were you around then ?
Was anyone ?

Maybe you should try to understand what a rogue planet is.

You arent an old country boy though. Chickens born and raised in a henhouse ? They roost in the nests made for them.
Free roam chickens ? Always roost in trees.
Most non-country citified folks believe a chicken cant fly . They can. But compared to most other birds, they have a limited range.

Maybe , you should

Do they nest there?

Here's a trick. There was a rooster that would "fly" up to a branch in a tree outside my bedroom. You know how roosters get noisy when the sun starts to come up? After that sumbitch got up in the tree I would put a sock over his head so he didn't notice when the sun started to come up.

His name was Gunther and the sock worked like a charm.

They usually find a nice , silent , hidden place to nest. Being much larger than a bird , and the eggs as well , not advisable for a hen to try that.
Who was talking about nesting , though ? You stated chickens couldnt fly ? Deflecting?
And a rooster "crows" at dawn. Their nature. Thats why the ones in a henhouse wear the little eye guard/side blinder thingy (not sure if those ever had a name)

Going too far off-topic , but I hope that answers your questions.

False.

How about a version of the rapture, where all of the killers, rapists, pedophiles and racists suddenly disappear.
Set a date for that one. At least it would be a lot more fun anticipating it.
