    Is this rude?

    As someone who was born in Florida, we certainly said please and thank you (although not really yes please and no thank you) but nobody I knew said sir or ma'am. Florida is so far south it's not really part of the south IME

    Neighbors Died

    I agree with @Mrs. K, do you want or need either roo? Do you have more than enough space for everyone? Do you have a spot to quarantine the boys? Also, 7 hens is really generally not enough for 2 roos, while you're not guaranteed problems, you are more likely to have issue with the boys...

    Things you wish you could say

    I wish I remembered that it was going to be stormy this afternoon before agreeing to come in to cover a shift today I also wish I remembered that before rinsing the ash out of my grill 'cause the rain would have done it for me (I mean, it only took me 2 minutes but still)

    Songs that make your skin crawl.

    Everything, the actual music is bad and never mind the dancing and the cringe. I'd rather just read the book or get the cliffnotes online than sit through all that

    Songs that make your skin crawl.

    Oh! Forgot about Christmas music! It's right up there with musicals and opera as one of the worst genres

    Songs that make your skin crawl.

    Anything from a musical. I may love music but I can't stand musicals

    Songs that make your skin crawl.

    Sadly in 9th grade I was also forced to sit through the movie in addition to reading it. The movie was also terrible (but I also just hate movies)

    Songs that make your skin crawl.

    Oh, I had to read it in 9th grade, I do remember the plot, it's just that nowadays people cite it as an example of a love story for some reason Definitely one of my least favorite bits of required reading, I don't like romance in general and this story is particularly dumb

    Songs that make your skin crawl.

    I fail to see how romeo and Juliet is considered a love story, it's just a tale of 2 hormonal teenagers not using their brains, it's just dumb IMO and hate that it was required reading

    Would this coop be big enough for 6 bantams?

    Honestly, you're probably better off building a new run surrounding the old setup and converting the old setup into a coop. Trying to expand it it just going to be an absolute pain in the neck and having a run that low will make catching any birds if the need arises an absolute pain for you

    Would this coop be big enough for 6 bantams?

    Free ranging doesn't make up for a too small setup unfortunately

    Would this coop be big enough for 6 bantams?

    60sqft would be a 6x10 run, even if you move a few birds around you would still need the same amount of space, it would just be divided among multiple setups

    Would this coop be big enough for 6 bantams?

    Neither is nowhere near big enough, you want a bare minimum of 10sqft per bird in the run and 4sqft of space per bird in the coop. Them feather picking like that is likely an early symptom of being overcrowded and is likely to get worse I've personally haven't had a good experience with flock...

    Fairy egg annoying easter hunt

    Egg color can vary from bird to bird, and can change a little (in terms of the exact shade, a brown layer will always lay brown eggs but it might be darker early season than it is late season) through the season. A rooster only can affect a hen's egg color in that he passes on whatever genes he...

    Mentally Challenged Orpington Pullet

    Totally fair, the necropsy would more or less just be for your curiosity, she almost certainly had nothing contagious Sorry for you and your brother's loss

    Mentally Challenged Orpington Pullet

    I think so, you can arrange for a necropsy at your state vet lab if you want but it does sound like she had stuff going on

    Fairy egg annoying easter hunt

    Sorry to hear about indigo It can be months before eggs start getting to a "normal" size, for now just enjoy the pullet eggs Egg color has nothing to do with being fertilized or not, it depends entirely on the hen

    Help! What do I feed my mixed flock??!

    I would feed everyone chick starter and provide oyster shell on the side, of they don't like crushed, you can try flaked, some birds like that better. Layer feed has too much calcium and too little protein for chicks

    Hens not laying

    It's best to have it on the side so they can self regulate how much they get

    Flock management

    You would have to watch them You would still have to quarantine and reintegrate as a few months is a long time for them to be separated, doesn't matter if they grew up together or not, they will still treat each other as strangers
