Exactly how he needs to feel...anyone that darn ignorant needs an abrupt and complete education on the real purpose of chickens and ducks.

Love It!! water with bodyIt's "water with body", my mother always says. Dogs and chickens appreciate water that has been sitting.
I can't be classified as an OT yet, but I'm loving reading what the rest of you have to say. And Walt has chicken groupies. Who knew? (Had 12 pages to catch up this morning.)
Dont mean to hijack... but YOu brought up disease by shoe...someone has eggs i might buy ...their chicken he says are free range but says most have a lot of feather off their back .I get the impression bare as he didnt show a photo but one of the breed not his.Amen! I live out in the sticks. We have city folks moving out here and first thing they do is buy chickens. Then they make friends with you and just "Have" to go look at your set up. I don't let anyone but family in my yard/coop. We had a friend lose all his chickens because they let them in the coop and the newbie had sick chickens and did not tell him. Just off their dang shoes! I don't care how pissy they get. They are not going out to my chickens! Sorry hit a nerve...keep your chin up. Nothing wrong with owning real chickens.
Waterfowl will "imprint" on whatever/whoever broods them. When that happens they no longer know that they are a duck/goose and that can cause them problems.

Am i an exception?
We received 9 Mallards with our chicks back in May. We kept them in the tub for about 2 months... Cared for them at least twice a day, but prob only held them for a few min every few days. They don't freak out when we are in the run, but they do keep their space. We don't chase them down to hold or expect them to behave as pets...
