    I set up a trap, but other than a lame, half blind opossum i did not catch anything. And i actually gave the possum something to eat before i released it, that poor guy must be more careful about the ducks than the ducks about him. I don't think he will make it through the winter anyways. That...

    Thank you very much for the offer! ;) Looking at that event in retrospective, i must admit that i am scared of myself! I had not thought that i could do something like that…

    Sadly, you don't have to create those fake news, they're already out, sponsored by the food industry: https://lmgtfy.com/?q=backyard+poultry+salmonella+outbreak For example the popular web-site WebMD has an article about this topic every year in March...

    LOL! - Tell me about it! I'm German and had to go to driving school for three months, take (and pay!) at least 24 hours of driving practice before i was even allowed to apply for the test. - Passed the computer test five times and laughed out loud about the questions asked - and never had a...

    Agree absolutely! The number of birds you can keep in those pre-fabs is always highly exaggerated and most of them are really hard to clean, especially those "run" areas under the coop itself. Most of the prefab-coops are just long wire-tunnels and one literally has to crawl into to get the...

    LOL! My wife and i often say (usually after observing some really bad behaving parents): "You must pass a test and obtain a license to drive a vehicle, but every dummy is allowed to make kids…" - or buy animals, we should continue the sentence.

    Same as me: When there is a bee in the house, trying to fly through the window glass, i help that poor thing to find its way out. But when i saw that raccoon in the duck house i blacked out. Next thing i remember i was standing over a dead raccoon with a bloody broomstick in my hand… - The...

    One evening last year i saw a Raccoon entering the duck-house, ran out in my pajamas, barefeet, grabbed a broomstick and beat the 'coon dead. - My wife now thinks i'm totally "loco". - So even doing the right thing (in your opinion) can make you look bad in the eye of the observer…

    I agree with you! - Remember those »Backyard Poultry is causing Salmonella Pandemics« threads in the news? I am so sure there is some lobbying behind those, because if everybody raises their own poultry in their backyards, who would go to the store and buy eggs? Just look at the information...

    Being old enough to remember the use-net groups, i remember that any BS-poster was quickly subdued by reasonable members. The difference to the current social media (excluding BYC!) is that there seems to be more BS being posted than any amount of reasonable people can cope with. Plus, i hear...

    That colleague also celebrated her 1,000nd FakeBook »friend« :idunno And she is talking in emoticons the whole day, for example she says »wink« or »smile« when she says something funny.

    I'm not saying young people! I observe this in people of all ages: The more they are addicted to social media like Fakebook, Squatter, WhatSucks or text-messages the shorter is their attention-period and the weaker are their abilities to understand and speak in full sentences. Made a joke once...

    Are there chicken books available with paragraphs, containing less than 160 characters? ;)

    Wisdom is, when after 40 years of having chickens you are still willing to listen to other's opinions. And laughing about it, secretly! :gig I am an IT consultant, working 20 years for the same company and still: I learn something new every day. And i enjoy it!

    How dare! More than 300 characters! That would be two text-messages! :gig:hugs

    I agree with you entirely on those »agreements«. Those have been designed to discourage you from reading them, so you will happily sign away your soul. Also agree for those »manuals« that come with CCC (Chinese Cheap Crap) products, sometimes a random mixture of English (?) words. But i'm...
