LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

Oh nice. Are you going to keep or sell them?

Everytime I pull out my phone, Sergeant always needs his photo taken
Such a spoiled cockerel..

@KikiDeAnime Aww! He's handsome though!

@Chickaritasowner The harlequin ones pictured will either be breeders or food (they are commercial type rabbits), not for sale as breeders or pets (because people buying "pets" often still try to breed and these are not the quality I want to be selling for breeding in such a rare color). The other 8? We'll have to see. A few of them came out REALLY tiny, and I'm not sure why. Those will probably be food or maybe pets marked with unregisterable ear tattoos unless they sprout up like weeds. Some of the bigger ones look to be otter colored or castor and they could be keepers depending on how they fill out and what sex they are. I really need some more nice looking type-y does.

Basically anything that has the potential to be a keeper but I don't need will be sold, the keepers I actually need get kept (usually for 4ish years), the rest feed my household.

 

[Chickaritasowner]

That's awesome! I don't know much about them so it is interesting to find out more. How long have you been breeding them?

 

[ChocolateMouse]

Oh gosh, I've been breeding bunnies for like 7 years now I think, and kept them in other capacities for years before that. Started with New Zealands and moved into Rex pretty quick.

Very nice! Chickens are my first pets that weren't cats or dogs. I think my wife will only allow chickens for now haha

 

[ChocolateMouse]

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
