Redbud trees are blooming down here. Seems to be about a week & half ahead of schedule.

When redbuds bloom, the hens are setting.

Setting?

On the nest.

It is called sitting dufus.

PS, not in hoosier town where he lives.

setting

Etymology: Middle English setten, from Old English settan; akin to Old High German sezzen to set, Old English sittan to sit

transitive senses

2) to put (a fowl) on eggs to hatch them b : to put (eggs) for hatching under a fowl or into an incubator



You all are idiots, yet again. City Boys!!!

I thought I smelt liver and onions.

Who would have thought that SF would be using Old English translation in these day and times?

Like I said in the turk forum, I saw a tom breeding a hen last night.

PS - But he still used it wrong. The key in his definition is to put . If SF was putting the eggs under the bird, then he would be "setting" the eggs under the hen. However, if a hen goes over and plops down on her nest of eggs she is "sitting" on them. Nice try SF, but you're still wrong.

Rafe - You been looking for any morels yet?

Haven't looked for any morels, but I will this weekend when turkey scouting for the Youth Hunt. Doubt that we see any, just because it's so damm dry. Maybe the rain today & tonight will help the chances, but with as much of a deficit as we have, I ain't gonna count on it.
