Hey Lisa, We Don't Have to Agree, and I Do Appreciate Your Posts
Greencastle, First of All I Dont Appreciate Being Called Immature. You calling Chicken Keeping A Game is Actually Immature. I Really Don't Care what you do with your birds, if you want to paint there nails and Play Dress up with them go ahead. BUT, If you look throughout history, people always had chickens, and they learned from there parents who learned from there parents. Now, there is a generation gap, and like alot of people in this site, they just keep them for backyard birds and cross them. And Your not HELPING any breeds. I would ask have you ever been to a show, but your profile picture tells me you have. If you ever get to go to a big show, youll see so many breeds and a lot of them are not being worked with which is harmful to the variety's and breeds. I Want them to be here for my great great grandchildren to enjoy, and preserve the genetics. Responsible is not crossing Everything with everything and a professional is someone who knows what there doing in the chicken world.
I didn't mean to come across hateful or anything. I just don't understand where all of these questions came from. And with these questions come a whole lot of other questions and most of them are a matter of opinion and ethics. Which IMHO shouldn't really be discussed on an open forum because of how charged it could get. That was all I was trying to bring up, is the whole host of other questions upon other questions something of this nature could bring up. The whole professional thing, is there such thing as a "professional" poultry breeder? You really can't earn a living unless your running a hatchery, and are you practicing responsible breeding running a hatchery? I think a better word would have been experienced. And the hatch thing is a matter of ethics and opinion. Sometimes its human error and there is nothing wrong with duckling/gosling/chick/or other thing that may hatch out of an egg, and sometimes it is an unviable specimen and it will die either way. Either you help it and it dies a few days or weeks later or it dies in the shell either way you really most likely will never have to introduce that particular animal to a breeding situation.
Sorry if I upset anyone. Its just I think with these kinds of questions you really only get opinions (which you asked for) and more questions, but with opinions things may come off a bit skewed. Like I said I'm highly apologetic if I insulted you that was not how I intended my post to come across.
Haha You Don't Have to Apologize, I wanted peoples opinions
Its the people that asked a million questions and was rude that i didnt ask for. I Love Other peoples opinions and i learned alot from them. As far as the professional thing, i took that back towards the middle of that thread, i replaced it with EXPERIENCED
I should edit the first post but i like to see who read the whole thread and who didnt. But I learned not to apologize when you disagree greencastle, because a lot of people on this forum could argue with a wall, and alot of people on this thread have never shown a bird or opened the standerd of perfection! People will always disagree no matter what you say, which is fine i love all your opinions
