    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat - Part 2 : Chicken Boogaloo.

    It wouldn't hurt to take the time to do a little training on your cats. That's what I have done in the past and it works rather well. I just let them see the chicks from the beginning and correct any overt hunting/stalking behavior the presence of the chicks provokes. Never had to correct...

    Poor, poor kid. I blame the parents, not the school. How does a kid get that old and no one has told them the facts of life?

    My WR gals are going to sure be surprised to find out they are supposed to be laying white eggs instead of brown. I don't think I'll tell them....I like brown better. As everyone knows, brown eggs have more nutritive value.

    This from "Business Insider"...would you trust them on anything to do with your business? And black cows give chocolate milk, red cows give strawberry milk, white cows give white milk and the black and white cows give half and half.

    Think they'd let you walk him of an evening? Would be a good time to give him some training on chickens and also do a nice thing for him. Could benefit you both!

    Agreed!! My dogs get raw deer and even whole road killed deer to eat on and they don't chase deer...Jake barely even notices when one walks within 5 yds of him and Ben will let them come into the yard, waiting until they get really close, then bound across the grass at them with a "WOOF!"...

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat - Part 2 : Chicken Boogaloo.

    I think Mom's friend told her a big ol' lie. Virtually impossible to buy an egg from the store that has not been candled to catch even blood spots, let alone a chick. If buying typical battery sourced eggs, it's IS impossible, as those birds have never seen a rooster in their lives, let...

    I posted this awhile back, but it bears repeating....just too accurately funny!

    That right there is the clincher....6 birds to a cage so small they can barely squeeze past one another to get to the feed and water, when one dies the others have to walk all over her dead body and sometimes will feed off it, nowhere to rest or roost as they are standing tightly packed on wire...

    Hair breeds come into heat and breed well in the fall as well as the spring...pretty much any time, really, so very easy to have spring market lambs from hair sheep. More folks in the US are moving towards hair breeds for the meat market and we even have a new hair breed called Royal Whites...

    Same here....and who can you trust with your own chickens? I've found no one I'd trust to give my chickens the life they currently are living, so why send them out in the world to be tortured by someone who think feeding them a lot means they are giving good care? I too have people asking...

    Good for you! A lot of folks would have given him one just to get rid of their extra roosters.

    For a dog that size, 5 c. sounds reasonable. I didn't think you were following the bag, just my niece....and then she asked me why the cat was so fat and I told her but now she doesn't want to take away the same amount of feed because she feels like he would be too hungry.

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat - Part 2 : Chicken Boogaloo.

    Can't give much advice about your dad but my Labs always eat 2-2 1/2 c. of food per day. If I fed them any more than that they'd be horribly obese...and these are outside dogs getting plenty of exercise. My LGD gets 4 c. per day only. I can't imagine how fat and lazy they would be if I fed...

    Nope...they still get that big. But, they get a chance for their bones and organs to develop enough that their size doesn't kill them as easily when they reach their full size. Free ranging and restricted feed, especially when they are little, is a good way to let their body catch up to their...

    You are posting in the right spot! They can walk and live just fine past 10 wks if a person treats them like a chicken instead of a like a hog one is fattening for market. Many, many people keep CX past 10 wks and even past a few years, keeping them in the flock for breeding, laying or just...

    I'm sad to hear that we aren't the only ones seeing this unmitigated gall in the world today. I could write a book on the times here in the past few years when someone has presumed to ask for things that were just incredible and incredibly rude. Had a neighbor go to town and buy 100 chicks at...

    I think this might be something a public flogging might cure...each and every time something like this happens in America, these individuals need to be placed in stocks in the town square and publicly flogged, left overnight to contemplate things that are truly worthy of spending one's time on...

    It's like a cult, I tell ya. It's like they are completely and totally deaf to all rational thought, which would indicate some brain washing which is going on in every public school, on the TV and in movies all across this world. What makes these people feel like they have the right to...
