➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Why do people fast for a week or longer?

I’ve fasted for longer than a week, but not just on water. That’s extreme, especially for longer than 3 days, and pretty weird.
The point of religious fasting is to deprive yourself of optional pleasure, not to physically harm yourself by starving. The fasts I have experience with last a couple days up to 3 weeks or so, and are usually something like no sugar, or only plain meat/bread.

Fasting to lose weight isn’t fasting, it’s an eating disorder. Just saying.

Is everyone else’s birds loving the cooler weather as much as mine?

Nope. My birds are mad and won't stick a toe outside. Silly things are always like this for a few weeks always the beginning of winter.

You are the best person. I thoroughly enjoy your humor. Did I tell you I finished all of AD? You were definitely right, the newer seasons were awful.

As in the year measurement system? Yes, the recent seasons have been pretty terrible.

Wait, wait WAIT 20 WEEKS. My two hatched hens, and annoying cockerel are already 20 weeks??? I’ve lost track of so much!

The multicolored is a black Swedish and I’m pretty sure he’s a drake. The other could be that too or Cayuga. We aren’t too sure!

I know, right?! I had no idea until Nutty asked and I counted haha. I thought I would move before their first egg and miss it, but there is hope yet!

AD?

Ah dang it, I have a question! It appears one of my 9 week olds has ripped part of her beak off. The pictures aren’t great but I couldn’t get my phone to focus, and the lights weren’t helping.

What should I do for her?

Aww, shucks
You didn't tell me, but ... right? Just terrible. I wish they would stop trying to reboot everything. Other than David Lynch, of course. That madman can do as he pleases and I'll thank him for the privilege of viewing his insanity.

Looks fine, leave it. It'll grow out.

Would you agree that zero food and only wAter for 7 full days is at least a little nutty?

My lungs can’t take all this laughing, I am so enjoying this. That is a true statement but I meant it as a shortened name for a show.

AD?

Arrested Development.

 

[Conan]

AD?

Arrested Development. A wonderful show. At least the first three, original, seasons.
