Me, too! Burping and farting are hilarious. My son, (before he became a teenager and I became embarrassing): NICE ONE, Mom!I too am a 12 year old boy trapped in a 49 year old woman's body. Gross words, foul body noises & smell always make me laugh. Can't help myself.
Perfect. That will give it an interesting twist on the flavor. Let me know
I want one sooo bad. Actually I want a pair.
You've made me feel sooooo much less weird! We just started and about a month in when things started to get busier I decided I needed to keep track of them. If I could figure out who laid what I'd probably keep track that way, but for right now it's 4B (brown), 3E (eggers), 1A (Ash is my bantam's name). I do have 4 eggers, 2 lay blue & 2 lay green.. but I can't tell the blue layers apart and I can't tell which green egger lays which egg so they get lumped together. Loki is the only brown layer I can identify b/c I physically saw her lay her egg last week & her eggs are long and pointy.
The dust cloud is my favorite thing! I love watching them walk out of the trees and fluff their dusty feathers. Petting them is interesting b/c I find myself trying to pick the debris from their feathers. All my white birds look gross and dirty too, but it keeps away the mites so I won't complain.
I've thought about the fermented feed. But the article/post I read about it made it sound like they only gave the birds a small amount of fermented feed at a time & it sounded like they used mostly scratch grains to make it which I thought wasn't supposed to be that great for them. They did say you can use whatever feed you want, but it seemed like if I mixed crumble or pellets w/ water I'd just end up with mash.
Are sebrights usually broody? I didn't think they could go broody so young. Maybe it was just a fluke, mine is at least 32 weeks now and hasn't been broody yet. I was pleasantly surprised w/ her egg production. I'd read they only lay 52 eggs a year and she's been one of my best layers (partially b/c I KNOW her eggs are hers). We made Deviled eggs w/ her tiny eggs for Labor Day, but we used a recipe my daughter found on pinterest.
My mom wants a goat. I asked her where she was going to put it, she said in w/ the chickens. Um.. no. I live in an apt, the chickens live at my parent's house but I take care of them. She also tried to drag home a couple of dogs this summer. 14 chickens, 3 cats, & a dog... We don't need anymore animals.I want goats, too! There's a small herd on the way to work, and a couple of weeks ago, the guy who owns them pulled his boat into the field (storm was maybe coming) and twice that week I saw a goat on the boat. It made me happy.
Dylan is 23. I have had her for just about a year now. They can make just about any sound, she imitates the tone of voice people use, she can sound just like me or her former owner. Sometimes she speaks Spanish, then English. The worst is the imitation of the smoke alarm! Try to never let your Grey hear that, or the test sound on the smoke alarm, either. It only takes once and you never stop hearing it!
I used to house sit for a friend who had a grey.
Dylan barks at the garbage truck and strangers. She speaks dog! They become members of the family.
My neighbor has miniature donkeys. He keeps them in with a single strand of electric wire about 1.5-2 ft off the ground.
