LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

I thought we had finally escaped having a flock that roosted in the trees at night instead of the coop but I was just proven wrong.
It's the time of the evening when our flock puts themselves to bed so that I can lock them up at night and I found our 2 older pullets roosting high up in our apple trees....
Strangest thing about them doing this, is the fact that they had been roosting underneath our oldest hen for a few nights.
Did she finally decide enough was enough and that they shouldn't do that?

Funny thing is I was sort of thinking the same. I was like "I haven't seen Lou around these parts lately"

There there, you have them now. ALWAYS check your Watched tab.

Hope everyone is doing well! I had a 'surprise' OEGB chick hatch this morning. It's from an egg that hadn't hatched under my broody last week. I plopped the eggs in the incubator, and this one hatched. And no, it wasn't laid later, I counted them before she started sitting tight.

Also did an eggtopsy on a duck egg that was due last Wednesday. Fully formed duckling, yolk not absorbed. Two more from Wednesday are still sitting in the incubator. I'll give them another couple of days as they don't look bad, although no movement inside...

Poor babies-to be. At least you got an OEGB surprise!

More and more I lose hope for humanity...
I can not understand why people aren't raising their children anymore.
Any kind of violence is never okay.

A day after the incident, I saw a post in my town's group page on facebook. A lot of people were defending the teenagers and it made me angry

I work for a local homeschooling program. They have me working there as a ‘peer mentor.’ (I graduated class of 2020) A lot of the time with these younger folks, they had to be stuck away from others during the most impressionable times of their life. I was eighteen when things shut down here, and it still affected me greatly. I think it would be even worse for kids who were probably 11-14 at the time. My sister is 10 1/2 years younger than me, she’s 10 now, and I honestly think the pandemic traumatized her.

It’s not always the parents in my opinion. Even naturally good natured kids with good parents are acting out. It’s hard to get the high school students to engage with anything at all.
