BYC Café

I can't believe how early it gets dark now! I'm locking up the chickens before 8 pm.

I think I say this every year about this time, when all of a sudden, the days seem short. They are short in the winter.

I was just lamenting the same thing to the Princess.

I can't believe how early it gets dark now!

And fast. No long slow sunset. Just BAM! Lights out.

 

[Sally PB]

True! I hadn't thought of that, DL, but you're right.

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A ....

Oh heck they are great ways to lean we all had a crush on them also they knew how to wiggle.

Good morning Cafè. Coffee is ready.

One of the boys will reside in the maternity ward until he is rehomed or in the freezer. He was caught ruthlessly chasing down one of the pullets yesterday. And he mounted Astrid without asking. He's not being offered a third chance to strike out. He's OUT!

 

[Sally PB]

What a cad!

Yes, he has to go elsewhere.

What a cad!

Yes, he has to go elsewhere.

I'm going to ask HTG if he will help process him. He used to do that when he was a kid. I think I can help. Just not the killing part. But he can certainly do that.

Unfortunately, this may be the fate of all those boys out there as I've had no replies from anyone that wants to adopt them. Some people have asked if they're still available but never answer back after I say yes.

They absolutely cannot stay in the flock. They're starting their shenanigans and it's going to wreak havoc on the peace and well-being of the rest of the birds.

Butchering chickens is no fun, but certainly is part of the deal. Unfortunately.
