EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[DwayneNLiz]

Teach your children to raise chickens and they'll never be able to afford drugs.

Practice makes perfect.

yes, and yes

When I do a mixed hatch the honas do the same. So maybe it is something with the black?

it was @junebuggena who was talking about the black genetic stuff maybe she'll com over and help us out

The mink I stomped to death.
He was huge for a mink and twice the size of the one I shot last. Males are supposed to be 13-18". He was 24".

WOW, that was a big one!

Sally! Sally! Sally! Sally! Sally! Sally where are you?

I just got off the phone with the MO Dept. of Conservation. They couldn't believe the size so I sent them the picture.

When I first promised mink issues with killing chickens, they said I could kill them outside trapping season but they wanted to know what I killed and when.

at least they dont mind you killing them, we would go to jail around here unless you jumped through hoops, then you'd probably still get into trouble

I thought people had the right to protect their livestock?

They do.

Killing dogs is legal here. No questions asked.

Yes but there are animals that are protected by low, so you should balance in between the 2 opposites!
If a bald eagle will kill your chickens I don't think you can shoot it!

yes but no, only if they are your main source of income, or something like that

They do.

def not allowed here

 

[DwayneNLiz]

we have to provide proof that the wild animals are destroying profit

and mine are pets

We have the right to kill anything attacking our livestock.... but this is texas... in fact, you can shoot people if they are rustling your animals, too. ;o

State law in MO dating to the 1800s and just strengthened in the last couple decades allows killing any dog "worrying livestock". It doesn't even have to kill any. You can track the dog across the state and kill it where you find it unless it is confined on its owners property.
The thing is, if a dog goes on someone else's property and harasses livestock, it will eventually be a livestock killer.
Every county has a fund from dog licenses that can be used to reimburse livestock owners for losses from dogs.
One needs an unrelated adult to corroborate the issue and you only have a week to apply.
The lesson is to keep dogs confined to one's property or on leash.
I wish the same were true of cats.
