Granny's gone and done it again

I think it's just that my settings are on "Private." Or something like that.

Isn't my light on?

it is now. lol

Granny the price here is for a day old chick from a very reputable breeder.

Granny to many people start breeding rare breeds and do not cull bad birds. They breed for numbers only.

them roos are beautiful! $10. eggs

Those are beautiful birds, Larry. But I can't see paying those prices for something a raccoon might get hold of ... although we haven't had losses to predators in quite a while.

it is now. lol

I didn't change a thing.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

I didn't change a thing.

really? Its been off for a few days

 

[Nomadicus]

Can you watch my light for a couple of minutes. I'm going to put my computer to sleep, not turn off and not change anything. I'm curios if it shows I'm off line.

To do it right, a person would need the right setup. It would be quite a commitment. And you're right. A responsible breeder has to be willing to cull to the standard. Crossbeak? Cull. Weak legs? Cull. Extra toes? Cull. Failure to harden one's heart is why we have cats with stumpy legs (oh, how cuuuute! - never mind that the cat is a cripple), curly-coated Rottweilers, and any number of "adorable" aberrations across the board. Sorry - soapbox rant complete.

 

[Nomadicus]

I'll be back in a couple. Watch what happens with my light please.

if I ever have chickens again they will be in the correct run that no predators can possibly access. I still remember the shock of that morning coming out to see body parts everywhere.
