I have a whole gob of chicks I am going to feed to snakes....Anyone want to come and buy them?

I cannot sell them all as I have to offer a few up as sacrifice to the Zombi Chickadee..



Actually, I know it is terrible, but reptiles eat baby birds. If they did not we would be over run by dux and chix....... ( not that a few snakes starving to death would bother me).. It is one of the reason ground nesting birds have such huge hatches to compensate for this.


As much as I applaud your efforts to save the babies, I think it might be misdirected and actually end up in more babies being hatched to be fed or destroyed as the "producer" sold more than expected so will now increase his/her production next hatch....



(FYI...This is not one of my normal anti-dux rants, just how I see the baby bird market)
