Yes. Please call the authorities. Animal abuse is a common precursor to some of the most dreaded personality disorders later in life. Perhaps if authorities are involved, these kids can get the help they need, and the lives of animals can be spared in the process.
At the same time, do whatever...
WOW. I live in Northern CA and pay nearly $30 for a 50lb bag of organic chicken pellets and commonly see organic eggs sold for $6/dozen. Ah! It is so expensive to live in CA!!!
I often trade my eggs to friends for salad greens, veggies and such. One plus of living in CA. Still greens in the...
That's quite a science project you have going on there. I'd do it myself, but I have a knack for hatching roosters. I live up in Mendocino, so I bet our Trader Joe's eggs are from some of the same sources.
Tempting...
PS... Nicely Done!!!!
I am glad that her dnr is being honored and it sounds like you are all respecting and honoring her very much.
I send wishes for a restful, comfortable and peaceful passing. if we can feel the love you have for her on byc, rest assured that she can feel it too.
Blessings and sweet dreams.
He's awake!!! My heart is warmed by the good news.
Now he can represent himself against his offenders.
Little sweet-pea, my love and prayers are with him, you and both families. Also prayers of compassion for the families of the perpetrators. Ugh.
A little luck and a lot of love being sent...
Sweet boy just wanted them to slow down. Ugh. Rips my heart in two. I will be thinking of him and his family. I hope the offenders were caught.
Sending tons and tons of love and blessings.
Wow. I was reading through these posts before I realized they were from last year.
I am thinking of the family.
Thanks for refreshing. There's always a reason for everything.
It depends.... some of my girls started at four months, some waited until almost eight.
Sooner or later, they'll start leaving you better presents!!! Promise!!!!
PS... Unless they're cuckoo marans.... I've forgotten when I got them, but it was a loooooong time ago!
My little blue andalusian chases after one of my cats, but only the cat that's the same color as her. They're both that beautiful mottled blue-grey. Silly chicken. --She's my youngest chicken too!!!!
Poor kitty can't catch a break. My chickens free-range all day.
I'm so jealous!
I was just at the feed store today talking about how I want to get some guineas.
It's just that I don't want to order 50!!!!
Have fun with your new babies.
Did I mention I'm a little jealous?!?!?
You know, it's funny you bring this up because I have a couple marans that are taking their sweet time, too. At this rate, I'm wondering if I'll have to wait til spring to see some eggs! I some aracaunas that are the same age who have been laying for a couple months.
What holdouts!! I hope they...
Wow! Thanks for all of the great tips and advice!
I'm definitely going to be an eggs on the counter type of girl from now on. They're way too pretty to hide in the fridge.
Thanks fellow chicken people!!!
She'll be fine. Mine all look like disasters when they molt. I had one Americauna that lost soooo many feathers she looked like a porcupine when they started growing back!!!
I've found that right when you think the poor bird can't look any worse, they start looking better.
I kept them on their...
Thanks for the response! I'll keep my eyes open for one of those old wire egg-baskets! Counter-top it is. They're really good for a few weeks? --I never wash them.
I keep my eggs in the fridge. My friend keeps hers on the countertop. She told me yesterday that eggs will go bad in the fridge before they will out at room temperature.
How do all you chicken people keep your eggs?
Thanks!
When you know there's chickens in the house and instead of shooing them you just hope they have firm poos!!! Eeeew! And I keep a clean house! How did I get here?!?!?
