Quote: I had a friend ask me where the rooster's "man parts" were once, and I had to explain how birds didn't work like that. Do explain about cloacal kiss in most birds or presence of an intromittent organ known as the pseudo-penis. Again, lets fully cook otherwise answers, otherwise it...

No not really and I do see your point where as there does have to be some sort of a dummy proof instruction pamplet for those who don't know better. I guess there are other factors to be considered as well, but then again these all require some common sense to apply them but it is food for...

Oh yeah forgot................. it is allways important to read the directions on the box and the instruction booklet provided when raising young animals. Sure they need some heat and some spots more temperate, but the issue here is how long is long enough, and that can't come from a hatchery...

Quote: And just as much is from this board. If you did a search on it, you'd probably find 90% recommend the high temps. The learning center here says the same thing, as do ALL of the books I have read on chicken raising. How very true and a shame to be honest ................... less cutesy...

Or I think my duck and Geese are cold................ can you believe that one. one of the most cold hearty birds on the face of the planet, they even live in fridged waters in the winter and like it.

Quote: Yes and to add insult to injury do you have any idea how many folks on this forum still believe it, a bunch LOL.

Quote: You bet and that's where I was going with it. unrealistic nonsensical animal husbandry is the cause rather than the cure. Kind of like how some people can read a written recipe and never be able to cook it to even anything close to edible. Reading and research doesn't equate to...

Quote: X2 I don't keep chicks in the house any longer than 1 week and then it's in the chicken house for them. I deplore the house chicken thing and since I have been doing this I do feel my birds do much better in the long run and develop better and never get sick. Letting birds be birds...
