. . . to knit it a sweater?

Don't tell anyone! They'll judge you.

Then they are weird, technically. ;) This one? Super weird.

I stand by what I said. :)

Five toed anythings are weird.

This makes for the best names! And it works both ways. I usually have a naming theme for chicks. I give them names as soon as I can tell them apart. So sometimes Batman is a girl, and sometimes Snow White is a boy.

Unpopular opinion: It is so incredibly iconic to see big flocks of several species wandering around, but (here's the unpopular part) they all do better without the other species. The longer I keep fowl, the more I want to give each of them their own space.

Unpopular opinion: turkeys are not friendly and dog-like. They are obsessive and if they were not clumsy as hell, many more would have serious problems keeping them. I'm not not keeping them, but I recognize my tom's sneaker dance for what it is: he wants to either seduce or stomp that sneaker...

I totally agree. Really these "rules" are intended for newbies who really don't know enough not to get themselves into trouble by wanting ten chickens in that Tractor Supply prefab. The reality, as I've found it, is that the bigger you go, the less the rules apply. 10 chickens in a space...

Unpopular opinion: Your chickens are not people. If you are chickening them as people, odds are you're doing something a) unnecessary and/or b) wrong. You may also be people-ing wrong.

Yesssss, that's what I should have said. CLASSIC. Just not boring all buff kind of classic. But classic in the other classic classy ways.

I did for a long time, too. Then (here's another unpopular opinion) I decided layer feed is just a bare minimum thing and I wanted to do better.

It occurred to me to say almost this exact thing, but I thought I'd better not. Why piss off so many extra people? I've done enough already.

I knew it would be too specific for most people to agree with, but hence unpopular. I just find single combs really attractive. I have tons of others, but I wouldn't mind breeding those out and retaining only the single combs. And the legs. 1000% aesthetic preference. I have a list ranked...

Only single combs look like real chickens. Also, yellow legs make them look like fake chickens.

Chicks should only be kept indoors until the age of 18 and should not be integrated into another flock until they complete their PhD.

ACV helps some stuff. :oops: Not everything, but a couple things, at least.
