I wish I had the ability to have an aniamal of any sort and have no attachment, but i get attached easily, not going to lie. And atleast (hopefully) everyone gives them the best life they can before that day. And yes i highly beleive that everything must be used. I really hate seeing on the sides of the roads or atv paths deer remains, makes me sad. And i cant help but say " how would you like it if that hapened to you?" And for the most part weather saying it or not people wouldnt like that happening to them, just left to rot :( And im constantly after my one freind for the turkey feathers for dream catchers, he has he ability to do the kill and i dont have to see any of it so its not as hard. But i am gald that the people on here do the best life possible use all of the bird. makes me a litte bit more comfortable. :P

I really think the world of her and am very happy that all of you are becoming her customers too!
Sue, we decided I would sleep better if we put them in the garage pen over night. They are so tame, they followed me from side yard over to garage and into their new pen. Plan to walk them back to the side yard in the morning.
QJ, keep up the excellent care of your sick baby!

I enjoyed talking to Carole today...she sounds very genuine.  Thanks again, for the referral!  I'm trying to come up with names for my new babies.   I'm going to baby the heck out of them so they'll be my buddies when they're grown. 

Your "kiddie" yard looks great...lots of room!  I'm working on a portable pen for my son's Runner ducklings.  I want to be able to move them around, and fertilize my grass, too I'll bring them in at night.

OK that blinking ostrich emu thing is freakin' funny!  

There was something else... crap. I forgot. 

oh yea, I just wanted to say this is the most I've ever done for a chicken.  lol.  Tmw if she's still here I'm going to TSC for Blue kot and maybe some penicillin?  I don't know how to give a chicken a shot.. but I have a friend on the Mo swap page that does.

Just to let you know just because we can kill it and eat it doesnt mean we didnt have an attachment to it they may not have been pets but have been treated as they were it is part of life

Did I mention how excited I was to be getting Dewlap babies???  

Dutch, can't resist sharing the latest pic of Barley (he's 12 days old now), my buff gosling hatched from Carole's stock.  He loves to be carried around in my jacket and otherwise would hang in my lap 24/7 if given the chance.  He is quite the baby!

So cute.

She's saying she can't detach herself at all.  

Bad pic.  Sorry Jerry.. you've seen this.  But her feathers are missing pretty much on her whole belly.  Mostly just shafts left.  The poo in front is new since her bath but it's not white anymore.  So that's good. J
