And Sikhs

Over the last 15 years, there have been a lot of Sikhs wearing turbans attacked in the US because the unenlightened xenophobics mistook them for Muslims.

Just because a fair share of Americans are stupid, they have to get over themselves.

KuniKuni:

internet search is my only knowledge, my brother has a pair, one gilt and a male (cut), Maori was the local people of New Zealand, British were the immigrants.

Too bad the male is cut. It could have been a new market.

Beutiful roosters CC!

Wat breed is that bearded rooster in the middle? The one that holds a chicken in it hend?

You won't believe this but I went back to the pictures looking for a bird with a beard. Then I got the joke.

what is an water bubble on their head?

I've never seen that.

About that, I think. We only get 1 egg per day on average... i just need the little buggers to start laying. lol

I like my chickens, but if I can end up getting enough duck eggs, and my kids will eat them... besides having a few chickens down the road just for fun, I might switch over to ducks/turkeys/geese instead.

I haven't decided yet. I'm going to give it a couple years and play around with them and see what I like better.

I love my husband. He's totally putting up with me. LOL

That's a good husband!

And that's the definition of good husband?

yep!

We have a canal on one side, and hay frields on the other, the barn cats live around the outside of our property, because my queen bee cat (she's spayed) hunts around the house and the sheds/bird areas and doesn't let the other cats get too close.

The terrier that came with out house, helps alert to predators, and the my great pyr sleeps outside with the birds at night and inside during the day with me. (the terrier is outside during the daytime, it works well.)

Down the road, there's another terrier and guardian dog, that's done a really good job keeping the bigger predators away. She's getting elderly now though. And down the other road, there's 2 pitbulls.

Across the street, there's a donkey and some horses that live in the woods.

There's a pond over there, and there's birds in there that don't seem to be afraid. LOL I guess the donkey helps.

I know the people who live in neighborhoods, have had more trouble losing birds in the backyard, than most of us out here have in farm land.... but almost all of us end up having some kind of guardian livestock dog out here, or a neighbor has one... and those dogs really seem to do their jobs well.

​

When I went in to snap a picture of our little red sex linked hens and roos, one of them was sitting on my great pyr's back. She went in with me to check on the babies. LOL

donkeys are great for guarding

Depends on who you ask.
