grannys gone and done it

[Granny Hatchet]

Granny if youre talking bout CornishX, good luck.

They usually dont live past 6 months.

The one or two that do usually dont make it a year.

Usually low quality of life too.

yes, thats what I am talking about. 6 months is better then 8 weeks. I guess if they hurt themself or are miserable I can cull then and just not eat them.

They are just looking for food!

I had a cockerel that fell off the chicken truck on the way to be slaughtered. He was just laying in the middle of the highway. Many of his cage mates were dead. I had to teach him how to walk and eat and drink properly since he lived crammed in with others in a tiny cage with no movement. I didn't even know what a meat bird was back then. Can't remember how long he lived, but his legs gave out and I had him euthanized. Your chicks are having a wonderful life compared to my poor Frank. They are not designed to live long, so just help them have the best time for the short while they are here. And eat them and be grateful. Don't let their lives be wasted.

Granny its a waste to not eat them

Give thanks for their life, and their purpose.

I dont know if i will ever get anymore of those

BUT they are tasty!

Had a delicious pot pie the other night, and fried tenders before then.

the only way you can restrict their food would be to separate them from the rest of the birds. Which means at least 2 trips to the coops every day. plus you don't have the extra separate coop space.

I fyou can play with them and then give them a good quick death . OR put them out of both of yours misery and dispatch them now

@Tippylou I took care of my granny the last 5 years of her life she had dementia and didn't really know who I was some days and I would get so frustrated that I yelled at her. No often but more than once . I wouldn't much more than get her cleaned up from her incontinence till she was soiling herself again now having said that you have earned yourself a crown of glory for taking such good care of your friend all those years. So I pray you have the peace that passes all understanding, the oil of joy for the ashes of mourning and that everything you put your hands too are blessed, and that the Lord rest you in this time of loss of your friend and companion. And that He gives you a new friend for all that love you have for your babies . In Jesus name amen

Thank you so much Papa! I am blessed for having met you and for you sharing that story! I try so hard to be good and swatting Callie made me feel so worthless.
