    I've also recently been wondering where chick sparring ends and young adult "aggression" begins, and whether a lot of people's experience with human aggression has something to do with this. I've noticed some contrast with how different people handle aggressive roosters. Some people are afraid...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Saw yet another post on Reddit where someone was having the "I really like this rooster but he's started showing aggression" problem. Comments were predictable, all either "kill him" or "put him in his place." At least a few pointed out that one shouldn't judge a rooster when he's that young...

    I hadn't really considered that facet of it, I kind of just thought that she was happy to have a rooster again and a little less mature about it because a hen has needs. :rolleyes: In addition to the new personality and culture that Glais is introducing into the group, he's also an entirely...

    :yesss:That really is a sudden change from the last few months. It's interesting that they seemingly both flipped the switch at once. They must've had a secret meeting to coordinate this (I can't believe they didn't invite you). Hopefully this becomes the norm again so you're not making such a...

    Sorry to hear this, that's devastating. I hope you're holding up alright.

    Time For Gregg Since I last saw him he's finished his moult, started growing his spurs, and he's gotten bigger; approaching Australorp sizes. Still a sweetheart though :love It's hard to get candid/non front-facing shots of him since he's always on the hunt for treats, but I snagged a couple...

    I was finally able to visit the in-laws' chickens on Christmas day. We get so little daylight this time of year so it's more difficult to be there when they're active. Because it's been a while, everyone was a bit weary of me. (All eyes on me) But some stale bread won them over fairly easily ;)

    Is she asleep in that picture? Apparently the heads hanging down means they're in REM sleep, aka dreaming, something I've seen but haven't been able to find any pictures of.

    Same here, the rain I mentioned a bit ago was only the beginning. We've been getting slammed by an atmospheric river that's dumping huge rainstorms on us. These aren't uncommon but this is a big one, up to 75mm of precip today and tonight alone. The electricity went out night before last and is...

    Of course! I really like it too, and I'm happy to spread the word. I've never had stollen from Germany, so I'm not sure how it compares, but I really love it.

    We've only ever tried active dry yeast. I've suggested sourdough, which was firmly denied :lau

    I haven't been posting much on this thread since I'm in a rather deep situation with the tax department, and given my low income dare not rack up my debt further. However, @Shadrach you asked me a while ago about my partner's stollen recipe. I asked my partner back then, and he wrote it down...

    I am one of the most vehemently anti-war people I know, and yet I too am transfixed by old warbirds. We (humans) haven't built aircraft like that in a long time. In fact, the airspeed record for piston-engined aircraft is currently held by a heavily modified p51 mustang, which hit 554 mph...
