    Why do you want to give them green tea? Especially since it's potentially poisonous?

    Official BYC Poll: What Are You Doing to Protect Your Flock From Bird Flu (H5N1) Infection?

    I am strongly against adding anything to the birds' water unless you also give them a source of clean, fresh, PLAIN water as well. Putting a sugar -- any sugar, no matter how natural -- into the water in hot weather guarantees faster than usual bacterial growth. The reason that honey is...

    At the cost of relegating the poor to a bare subsistence diet without access to inexpensive, high-quality protein. Live on a bare subsistence diet yourself if you choose to. Don't ask me to starve my children.

    Which is completely impossible for vast numbers of people who live in urban areas and difficult for even many people who live in the country. I am in the country on several acres, but the nature of my sandy, nutrient-poor soil means that I can only profitably grow those vegetables that are...

    I refuse to accept that anyone's pets are more important than the food supply. If you want to choose to adopt a more expensive, more labor-intensive, restricted diet that's fine for you. Telling others, particularly low-income people who absolutely depend on modern farming methods for their...

    Because we can't put a significant part of the nation's food supply at risk because some people are fond of their pets. I live in a chicken farming area. When I go to church tomorrow and shake my jr. pastor's hand I'm in contact with a chicken farmer. If you think that you're not going to put...

    Other: I've confined my birds to their oversized and fully-covered coop. Other: I've stopped giving them garden weeds and yard waste as feed and bedding.
