Only Humans can be evil! Animals can't they just acting there natural nature!
Yes they will hunt and kill anthing they can.
In Israel they are protect buy law and you can't harm them! They are excellent rodent exterminators!

Shalom Benny. So an animal that kills just for the joy of killing is not evil?

I'm excited to say 8 of my chicks have hatched so far and I have several that have pipped. I'm so excited for this hatch! My roo is a blue copper marans and these are his first chicks! I incubated a dozen of his eggs. Four are easter egger eggs. The last eight are either barred rock or rir (again the blue copper marans is the sire). Then I am also incubating another dozen that I traded for. Twelve purebred black copper marans eggs. Of my own dozen there are seven that have hatched and several pipped. I think two of my own haven't hatched. Of the dozen that were laid on another farm, only one has hatched. They still have two more days for hatching!

Two of the chicks are blue!! The rest are a mix of mostly dark grey with just a haze of brown on the fave of one and the sides of another. Of those last two, one has feathered legs and the other has clean legs. My roo is the French variety, so he has feathered legs. The other 6 chicks are still not fully dry so they're still in the incubator. I'll have to post tomorrow which of those chicks have feathered legs and which don't. I think it's so cool seeing which traits are or are not inherited. So interesting!

My rooster is a black copper marans. When bred to my flock of RSL's he's produced 17 chicks,, all either black or white with a few black patches, all with feathered shanks, as far as I know, which I find interesting. Some have black legs, some don't. The gene for feathered legs must be very dominant; I figured I'd get some, but certainly not all.

Good morning
No
The "joy of killing" is based on a very primordial instinct of getting and accumulation of food as muchas as it possible for future time, so there is a utilitarian reason to that behavior. Only Humans kill for no realy beneficial reasons.

I have seen them kill, play with it, not eat any of it and then never come back to it.

Mornin whites!

Nope, for a few reasons. A), my friend doesn't get more 'till next spring. (She raises for resale) B), I'm still doing research on fencing, housing, and care costs.
But I found that goats eat a species of plant that is very invasive and a pain in the behind to remove, so the likelyhood of me getting them in the next year has skyrocketed. e


I may be uncontrollable when it comes to eggs & poultry, but I can wait for expensive or high-commitment things. I fostered dogs for nearly 1/2 year before deciding I was ready for a dog, and I took care of the neighbor's chickens for 3-4 mo before purchasing them. Ditto with rabbits and guinea pigs.

Only class I ever failed in high school was geometry.
