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

Not for things that poop.

The amazing thing here is that you had more than one child. Before I was forced to clean messes that weren't mine, I would have agreed with you. After rearing humans, hamsters, dogs, cats and now chickens. Poop doesn't excite me. Other bodily fluids are borderline - blood, barf or the icky infections. I could so be a germophobe. Just too much energy now.

DD#1 told me she heard the cockerel screaming yesterday evening. The time draws nigh.

It's very nice out right now.

I can see it now. "Hey boss, I need to go kill a cockerel." I'd probably get arrested for victimizing chickens. Or at the least, fired for contributing to a hostile work place.

"Think of all the chickens!"

Do slaughterhouses have workplace violence?
If there is a disagreement in a commune, is it still a commune?
If you leave the commune, do you get your stuff back?

If you leave the commune, do you get your stuff back?

Nope, especially not you. Once you joined the commune, it was no longer your stuff.

What slaughterhouse employees have is a very high employee turnover rate.

"Slaughterhouses have one of the highest employee turnover rates, often exceeding 100% annually due to these poor conditions (Human Rights Watch). When a slaughterhouse opened in Lexington, Nebraska, its turnover rate was at 250% and this is not an isolated case (Fitzgerald 2010)."

I have a friend that went to work at a chicken processor. Said he made it to first break and never looked back.

You never know! Hopefully they have some kids not spoken for.
There is a farm down near Houston that has some due on my birthday... That’s such a far drive though for us and a kid.

I'm on the list! Not as close as I wanted, but they've got gorgeous goats.

There's one in Federal Way that is incredible! They even go to the extreme of hiring a crane to get everything hung.

Don't think I've seen that one! Maybe I should take a drive...

The naughty list!
