Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Kris5902]

I am just astonished that someone would take on the task of bringing life into this world without understanding the responsibility that then entails. To do so without any of the basic knowledge associated with the "life" in question shows a complete lack of basic understanding. In short, I wonder how we can trust our children's education to someone who will not educate themselves.

Please know that I am not convicting all teachers, just this one.

For me, seeing such callous disregard for living things is frightening. If chicks are disposable and not worthy of care, what else is?

Now I have to say, sometimes sending those chicks home changes lives… my Sort of Buddy Wayne (we have different keeping ideals, and I won’t hatch with him again, power and water or no…) got into chickens that way over 60 years ago. His single chick was a Rooster he hid in his closet, then his father found out and they got a bunch of hens. Wayne’s chickens are what keeps him on a semi even keel… pretty much the only thing that does other than his motorcycle. He has had an interesting life but chickens have always been pretty central to it since that fateful day back in elementary school…

but yes 100% the teacher should have a
Plan for dealing with the chicks
Well before they even consider sticking an incubator in the classroom. There’s place here that will essentially rent out incubators and take the chicks back at the end Of the “lesson”. Ridiculously irresponsible!

I did not post this picture earlier. But holy moly look at that tail. She is all legs and tail. This little one normally holds that tail the most upright when moving. She is easy to pick out in the group of Marshmallows. Therefore she is my little Peep. Ok, truth be known, Rosie gave them all names, I call them all Marshmallows or Peeps. I've forgotten what she named them. She remembers but if I am out there by myself, I forget and resort to calling them my little "Peeps." I have also claimed my Rooster's know how to strut. The Marshmallows, they need a runway or a catwalk. They are models and they know it. @BY Bob knew what he was talking about when he claimed Leghorns are wonderful chickens. Actually, he has always known what he was talking about. First the Marans and now the leghorns. We are just going to pretend my silkies are polishes and not go there.

This doesn't bode well for identifying roos in your chicks....

You'll will have to post 10x the number of pics as everyone else (combined) so we can identify for you.

Yep that will likely be what will happen
