Oh no, thank you Rusty. I may have used a few of your ideas without telling you.

Don't use the bad ideas- that one about using chicken fat for insulation was a bust- was ok in Winter, but Summer....

I hope you did buy the Bitcoin when I suggested it a few years back....

No, no. The chicken fat goes in the soup. The feathers go on the wall. It's going to take a few chickens.

Your bad ideas are much more fun.

To quote the great philospher Steven Wright:
Erotic is when you use a feather; kinky is when you use the whole chicken.

So you mean like some 3/4" ply on the wall with chickens inside the wall to keep the bus warm? Nah, it would be to hard to feed them and collect the eggs.

Sad to say the only thing I use whole chickens for is cooking. I do get tickled about a tasty chicken.

It's supposed to be very zen to be able to catch a chicken. Or maybe that was the Karate Kid. Wax on, wax off. Except with chickens. Either way it sounds like you'd get good and warmed up trying to catch those chickens. Heat problem solved.

The chickens really aren't that bad. It's the rooster that's going to tear up your bus.

You know how chicken poop is white and brown? The story is if you rub the white part on your head it will make hair grow again.

Chickens are dirty, disgusting little dinosaurs. They do make a tasty treat- some people swear they taste just like frog legs.

If you mount the bird in the bus wall, the heads go outside to catch bugs while on the road, cleaning-up windshields for all drivers, regardless of skill level.

The "other end" of the chicken will be facing inward. Chickens only have 1 hole on that end and ALL business is transacted through the same opening. You would need an egg diverter to separate the wheat from the chaff, but would benefit from the free methane.

DPF can also be had for free from these wonderful creatures, should your vehicle be so equipped.

I agree with the first half but I think they taste much more like alligator.

Chicken taste like whatever you season and cook it to be.
I have consumed many tasty animals out of desperation with NO seasoning and things given to me that I seasoned before eating.
Everything doesn't taste like chicken regardless of seasoning and I have a rooster that if he keeps his mess up with momma and the kids he will be in the smoker. Sooner than later.
The post was about help in NC so I am going to defer back to that.
If I don't get a work call (hasnt happened yet? Could be a Sunday) then the OP is going to catch up with tomorrow. To discuss his intentions,plans,ideas?
I have Been wrong several times but have always worked through it?
Can we get rid of the chicken stuff and get back to the name of the thread?
Yeah it's all cute and funny but if you can't help?
The original thread?
Yes opinions help.
Opinions and thoughts help when they pertain to the situation that was introduced to the group but not when the group runs on someone else's that is asking for help with a bus build to discuss F'ing chickens.
If all goes well.
We get to meet and discuss ideas tomorrow.

Chickens turn garbage into eggs. Did you know you can pick up road kill off the side of the road and just throw it in the chicken pen? Chickens are carnivores and will pick a carcass clean. If you let them run free in your yard they eat about 90% of the bugs.

And then there's geese, who will gladly eat all the slugs they can get. Also good eggs and good meat. Bigger poop though, and they like to hang out on the porch. Good watchdogs. Watchgeese?

What is your plan J.R.? It's mighty nice of you to help him out- I feel for the OP.

Are you going to replace the cups? New heads? New motor?

I can't afford to do that with my own ****.
I can only offer/give advice to help others in there own endeavor and ideas.
Computer advice is free. Others attempting the same that are close to you might require some travel to share thoughts,opinions,ideas or not free. But being able to sit down and share face to face is..
Even if not a physical version? I understand notebook art.
If you ever wore a cup I might? I have displaced/ replaced many? And if it was specific? I would even leave it on there head.
What in the world does this have to F'ing do with the OP question?
If you can't help him then SHUT UP on this thread.
I am on the phone with him to help him in NC.
Where he asked for help in.
RUSTY. if you need help displacing your cup PLEASE ASK.
I know it must be aggravating sitting in a chair?

I grew up with fog horn leg horn so a pic of him and the coyote would be nice.
I don't know that he ever choked his chickens but being a dog he probably did?
