I'm proud of my picture with the 3 stooges. I think I was about 7. Not a model. It was in their dressing room at the police circus.
Why weren't you a model?

Oh, I could have been, cute kid.

Bummer. It is our job as animal husbandry persons to do what's best.
Yes, but I don't have to like it!
No you don't. It is unpleasant, just a fact of life.


That's not quality of life. She can't outrun a predator like that. You didn't try to fix it? It will continue to get worse.
If I cared enough, I would explain her injury, and show the little boy her condition. As it is, I have him blocked for a reason. If he wants to come after me for being better than him, so be it.
There you go, I've blocked people before. Makes life smoother.
I have that problem too. I have 2 saddles but haven't used them. I just need more hens. I only have an average of 7 hens in each flock. I need to get it up over 10.
I would separate them till the scars heal. She's apparently a favorite.
You ride your chickens? Interesting!

Kidding.

You're being quoted a lot because I sometimes only get one here once or twice a day.

Money needs to be at least in part up front so I don't get stuck with a hog.
As to the cockerels, I like the adjacent idea, and will develop a way to do that in the future. For now, I think I will use one of the meat cockerels born March first. I will have to watch though because the meat birds are not aggressive at all.
Thanks for the rooster input. I have RIR or LO cockerels at this point for my Barred Rock pullets. That will make nice sex links. Here are two from my Christmas hatch, and two of the three survivors of my original flock

Good plan. I'll have to look you up if I ever get down that way to visit my brother.

I would love to, but I don't have anyone here to make sure all of my birds and dogs make it safely to their beds, and I spent too much money yesterday...

Bed time is well before 1 in the morning.

 

[daxigait]

Roll on? Are you in an old folks home needing medication?

I drive a semi.

 

[BullChick]

Do boy ducks grow faster than girl ducks?

Yes

Ain't that the truth. We have chicken sitters in our group but not many close to me and I have too many buildings to tend to.
You're closer to OH anyway.

Bed time is well before 1 in the morning.

Mine is about dusk.

 

[Chaos18]

Yes

I'm wondering if Bacon and Eggs is a pair than. Cause Bacon is much bigger than Eggs.

Midnight snack!

Yes, he is.

Isn't it supposed to be?

Yes you are right about that. So if I left here at 10pm right after I'm done tucking everyone in, I would have to be going somewhere between here and Columbus to make it in that time. If it's Cleveland it would put me there at 3AM.(barring any construction projects on the roads)

Yes bacon is supposed to be bigger but it's also supposed to be darker but it's not in this situation. Somebody burnt the eggs and the bacon is raw................

ooooooo look a snack

You don't tuck them in until 10? My birds go for a head count and door lock as soon as they get there lazy butts inside the coop, usually by 8:30
