Oh what a touchy hot topic to stick your toe in to. I am also leaning towards learning caponization. Talk about firing squad fodder. I myself always seem to be on the wrong end of the firing squad.
I am very new to chicken raising. My DH was raised country, and wanted to raise chickens. Back in 2011. My family is totally city, and never even had pet birds. 2 poodles yes. Cats. Sure.
Chickens? Ours were either recipes or housed at the local zoo. No ...seriously!!
So, anyhoo....... 2.5 yrs in.....I have only recently done the culling/processing by myself. We jointly did the first few....as I had not a clue. At least he had done it before. I have gotten to the point of being able to make the fatal cut...but am still not good nor totally comfortable with it. It is a major learning curve for me.
I come to BYC to learn from other peoples experiences. Good and bad. I mostly stay out of the conversations. I have gotten myself on the wrong end a few times. Taught me to keep my mouth shut for the most part. Listen and learn.
Why is it some people feel threatened by others experiences and opinions?
