Sometimes the chick hand feels like it isn't even mine anymore.
I think the last egg retrieval misson really messed up it's mind.
I understand though, a hand can only enter so many vents before it starts to lose it's grip on sanity.
I knew it was a risk when I started this thing, just had no.idea the trauma would be so severe.
My girls love anything in the kale family. If I accidentally leave the garden gate open I can be sure all kale, cabbage and broccoli or cauliflower leaves will be well nibbled, if not entirely vanished. It all started last spring, when I'd left my kale going a little too long and tried to get the hens to eat the harlequin bugs. Everlasting love ensued....
Oh you're good, obviously you've been trained in the ancient art of blinding cuteness. I am impressed.
It is mainly a commercial practice done so the birds don't cannibalize each other or stress peck.
It is however an.option to have it done at most hatcheries when you purchase birds, so clipped birds are an option for the average Joe too. No idea why that is, but it certainly is available .
