So quail are friends not food?

No quail are food.
Dogs are friends.

Only if you name them.

We name them all Street Food.

Can we not have a debate about gun use in a COVID-19 discussion forum, please? Guns are a very heated topic for many people and I would like to keep this a safe space for everyone! No disrespect to anyone, and if I’m overstepping I apologize.

Okay so lets talk about chickens and coops . I'm well aware of animals looking at chickens as dinner. But with this pandemic you never know about people. My daughter got me thinking and I put a lock on my coop. Serious. Broke, bored, and bare pantry.

One of our horses just had a choke episode. By the time the vet got here, he had cleared it on his own. It was really scary!

Oh ! Glad the horse is okay. You must have terrified.

I had people try to take my hens in broad daylight even when there was no pandemic... They couldn't even grab one because the chickens freaked out and made a lot of noise the instant they entered the coop, I think. I ran outside when I heard the commotion and their coop door was unlocked and open after I had locked it. Thief was nowhere to be seen. Never had anything like that happen afterwards. It may have been the neighbor behind me but fortunately they moved out

I put locks on years ago.....after losing dozens and dozens of eggs to a thief.
Lock it or lose it around here. Which is weird cause my homeowners insurance went down when I moved to this "lower crime" area. Out in the sticks keys were left in trucks all the time. First 3 days here and some arse siphoned all the gas out of my truck.


A different still funny video.....

More like some of the folks here are WAY more comfortable talking about literally killing people in times of emergency that are also just trying to survive (Since the discussion was what if there's no food and people want your chickens) than they are acknowledging that racism exists and thinking about how to confront it. As in, literally killing living humans is more of a children-appropriate topic than racism is. And that's deeply disturbing IMO.

Well, depending on how this all goes down apparently people feel the need to protect themselves could arise. It's a possibility that people are considering. The conversation was about laws in each state, what the possibilities could be and defending ourselves and our families against assault or death. It's about how this is impacting our lives, what we are worried about, not the lives of random people we read about on the internet.

There is a “Chicken Farmer Barbie”. View attachment 2079139

And sumo wrestler Barbie might be something someone might create to show.

That's incredible! I was a big into Barbies as a kid. And what I feel is a good thing is we had to make up handmade accessories.

Delivery people here move rather quickly on the way back to their truck.

Hubs friend knocks on the door then braces the screen door with both hands just in case. My wood door is never left open. He just doesn't want to find out if mine would actually bite him.
He owns hunting dogs so is dog familiar.

People always cross the street when I am walking my pitsky.....she is not pulling or barking or acting up.

Yeah, I watched one guy jump back when he noticed the dog we eventually just had them leave stuff down the driveway so he wouldn’t get riled up lol

And oh wow smart!

And yeah, some people would cross the street, most would comment how beautiful he was or want to pet him lol he looked like a giant lab basically but just with some white on his chest and paws and a curly tail. Met one lady who’s daughter actually had a Pyrador so wanted to pet him and talk. Her friend that was with her was terrified of him and kept her distance

Maybe that's why people have a shotgun next to their bed...just the noise of bringing a bullet up, that cha-ching (whatever) is enough to drive anyone away. And not have to shoot anyone.

Maybe! I don’t have a gun but maybe I need to keep my keys near the bed
