LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

Oh man, I've had everything. Snakes, tarantulas, rabbits, fish, giant grasshoppers, mice, cats, dogs, now chickens... For a while I worked at a petstore and took care of everything, all sorts of lizards and amphibians and birds and rodents and stuff. I have a flesh eating beetle colony right now I'm still learning the ins and outs of. They clean skulls for me.

Alternative pets are really cool and great fun. But I too have a partner problem with my collecting. I don't think they'd let me get anything else any time soon right now. Except maybe a goat. D really wants a goat.

I finally got this to upload on facebook.
I love how Sergeant stares at Moses in confusion

@ChocolateMouse Flesh eating beetle colony? Reminds me of the Scarab beetles from The Mummy movies haha. That's cool though. I think a goat could be fun also. I tried to tell my wife it is like a free lawn mowing service haha. Oh well I am happy with my chickens. I'm hoping for eggs soon because my RIRs are almost the right age

@KikiDeAnime you may have said this but what breed is your Cockerel?

He's a Belgian d’Uccle Bantam

@Chickaritasowner, the beetles actually eat and do very little, it's the larvae that does the job. Cleans up bones for use in crafting and stuff.

I keep making the same argument to my partners and I keep getting vetoed. It even makes milk I say but noooo. We should just start a 'Gays for Goats' club and petition our partners to let us get them through mass peer pressure and powerpoint presentations. >_>

That's cool! My cats were just hanging out in the backyard when one of my girls came over and pecked their tail. It was quite funny

 

[Chickaritasowner]

@ChocolateMouse that would be amazing! My wife's biggest argument is that we are in the city and don't need them.

@Ihavesomechickens welcome to the thread! Thanks for sharing your story

@Chickaritasowner That's my partners beef too. >_>; "We already have a rooster! Do you want our neighbors to hate us???" I just argue that we should offer to "mow" our neighbors lawns with our goats and then we'd get free food for the goats, they'd get free lawn mowing, and everyone would be happy!
