LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

Interesting. Have you noticed it being a learnt behavior at all? Like say a silkie hatches 12 leghorn chicks, and at the same time 12 leghorns hatch in your incubator. Did some of those leghorns that were raised by the silkie go broody or was there a 0% rate

Kinda...

A lot of my hatchery birds go broody. A lot. But they seem to have higher losses their first clutch, if they even sit the full time. Where as my broody raised ones that do sit seem to have less quitting half way through and slightly lower losses on average

Going to be honest with you guys, when I’m around other people I trust I just say qu**r but I know that word has some debate around when it’s acceptable to use it. Hence the hencorship.

Oh hmmm. I can see? I’ve never done that before, if someone else knows how please let me know.

If you click report and ask, usually a mod will do it for you

In that case, remove the 'chicken keepers' part, too! Lol! It's caused some issues in the past...

How many LF eggs can a serama efficiently brood, based on your experience?

I'd guess 2? 3?

Why don't you use birds younger than one year to brood?

Those are usually the ones that have the highest amount of losses and quits mid incubation for mine at least. And sometimes when the eggs hatch, they panic and kill the brood off because they don't know what's happening

Thanks ya’ll, I’ll report and ask.

Actually I’m a bit nervous about reporting this thread in particular as BYC mods who have supported me on this thread had previously taken down my other LGBT threads because it was “starting drama” and “political discussion.” I don’t want to really bring it to their attention if I can help it. Is there a particular moderator you folks think I should message directly? I don’t want whoever answers the report to be the One Homophobic Mod and take the thread down.

I just use queer without the censorship, it's much more inclusive than saying gay, or the f word, or even LGBT, or "pride" (yep I've heard that one) when you're talking about the whole community, and it's breaking down the stereotype and stigma around it

Going to be honest with you guys, when I’m around other people I trust I just say qu**r but I know that word has some debate around when it’s acceptable to use it. Hence the hencorship.

When I was a kid (MANY years ago!) "queer" had really negative connotations. I was surprised to see it come back, and asked a Bi coworker about it. She said that it's totally cool now. Language can change so fast nowadays.
