Well, I've despised roosters since we moved to the mainland when I was four and on our first visit to our farm the resident rooster pecked my thigh. He met his end after attacking middle sister & Mom one weekend. So there he hung on the fence during Sunday dinner without his head. Later our two white roosters and I had a bad experience and I haven't changed my opinion since. However, the cone thing is interesting...not sure how that works even after reading the link post. Out on the farm it involved poultry tied and hung and a knife.The skinning thing (later post) is a novel idea. We did the plucking thing. I can still smell scalded feathers from the neighbors plucking theirs en masse for half a week.Lauriann Yikes for Becca & Doug!

I hope Emma's okay. (Bloody jeans always look worse than the wound, so I'm hoping it was only some scratches.)The only literary agent-type I know of is Sammie Justesen (sp?) formerly of Sunnyside ward. She helped my SIL get her book ready to submit. I love to help polish writing, but can't promise much in the way of time. Do post more about your book, though . . . I'm really curious to know what it's about, and what got you started . . . Oh, so sorry to hear that Absalom didn't work out. I hope Emma's okay.
