Farm chatter

Where you're at most likely has different temperatures then us right now. I was sharing our temp.

I know! I was just sharing mine too.

We've had that.

Yeah. It's pretty nippy out there.

Yeah of course it usually always works but not now

Just checking
That's weird. It just said "I need a stylus", lol.

That's amazing!

With the new program which allows me to do a lot more detail I drew Mini.

Then when I was just using Adobe draw/sketch here were some I drew, these ones were super simple and not the best, the black one is my favorite. I don't really like the fighting one, the faces are super weird.

Those are sooo cool!

do you guys say "KYE-OH-TEE" or "KYE-OHTE"

The second one. It's how everyone out here says it. Lol.

Hmm... how many did you start with, and how many do you currently have? (roughly, I know you probably don't have exact amounts.) Have they reproduced and grown in numbers a significant amount?

honestly my boyfriend has had them for 20 years here and I dont have any idea how many or how often he bought them.

Darn okay. I was trying to get around having to build a coop and just letting them roost in the trees. But I don't want to end up spending a lot of money for them all to just get taken out by coyotes. Hmm.... I shall continue pondering.

yeah so I know one of ours likely got killed by going into the dog yard (found lots of feathers) & I think I heard about 1 like freezing and falling out of a tree?? but otherwise I think the boys are pretty safe and you'd only have to worry about the girls in breeding season once they start to sit.

Interesting... Do males need hens to be happy? Or will they be happy on their own. Can you have a bachelor flock like you can with chickens?

oh also he bought an expensive fancy one once that had lived in a pen its whole life and he let it out to free range and it ate a stick and died.


but probably good that those genes got out of the genepool
