Hahahaha.

Until that moment, I didn't believe that chickens were capable of killing so viciously!

Last week I caught buttercup pummeling a mouse into oblivion and tried to eat it. I took it away as I was worried it might have eaten mouse bait, even though she caught it outside. Well I thought she would tear my eyes out when I stole that mouse from her!! I gave her some scratch grain as a consolation prize 🤣

Today I watched them try to stalk a little sparrow!!

So nope not kissing them anymore :lau

I let them eat all the mice they can catch. I have seen some crazy stuff with these chooks!

When Rocket broke her leg, and I tried to repair it, I knew she was suffering and I had to put her down. But now I regret it so much! So think about it very strongly, before taking that step! :old

Oh no (hugs hugs hugs)
Dont ever feel that way! It's hard to treat fractures in birds. Same as with horses. Almost always it's more humane to euthanize them rather than having them suffer.

My old stallion broke his hip, I tried for three months to heal him, then one day I just couldn't stand seeing him suffer 😢. He was a one in a lifetime horse and I miss him dreadfully.

Anyhow what I am saying is never feel badly or guilty for doing what is best for your feathered friends.

I was supposed to dissect a frog back in buah-ology class in high school. I said it was against my religion to do that. (Got a C in the class) :gig

I buried her under my peach tree, where she liked to sun bathe. Months later, that tree is dead! Many regrets!!

I had to dissect a fetal pig in 8th grade. I was partnered with my cousin who spent the entire time gagging, saying eww and barely holding the legs apart for me. I did all the work and we both got a A. It did not bother me though, I saw it no different then field dressing a deer which I had helped do several times before. Rosie is hoping they get to dissect something next year in biology.
