"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

Kuntrygirl, I agree with you. I don't even let my grandchildren "stir up" my chickens. I care about my chickens' well being. My opinion is that stressed out birds become unhealthy birds. I am striving to raise nice healthy flocks. Having someone torment my chickens would be self-defeating. Also, the original purpose of the chicken run was to catch a chicken to kill to make gumbo. Therefore, if they don't intend to eat the chicken then what's the point of just chasing it around? You almost have to ask yourself "which one has the "bird brain"? Although, rather than ask myself that question, I'd rather ask them.

Well, we're as wet, muddy and nasty here as everyone else!! It's just like it won't quit!! As soon as it starts drying up, here comes the rain again!! I think after this year I'll need new rubber boots cause I think they'll be completly worn out!!

I'm with you,. Im sick of the wet mess every winter,. I am going to buy some more dirt to raise some of this mess above the mudline,..
of coure I have to wait for it to dry before I can get a truck in here,..

maybe I should build a levee around the yard,. build a pier off the back porch and when the rain fills it 3 feet deep,. buy me some ducks,..mumble, grumble....

Thank you BayouPoules. TerriLaChicks, the weather will be warming up... it'll be more spring like soon. You'll be up and around soaking up some rays next week. Take care!

Sun! We have sun! Blue skies, no clouds and Sun!

DH is building a door for the new coop and the chickens are out scratching and happy clucking and I'm praising the Lord for Sun!
Hope you all are getting it too!

I've lived in the New Orleans area almost all of my life and have never heard of the Mardi Gras chicken run. Guess there weren't a whole lotta chickens on the westbank

I do agree I would never allow it for one of my babies, but I probably would a broiler.


Edited because I can't spell tonight!

Im right there with ya kuntrygirl I think anybody thats cruel to any animal ought to have the same punisment dealt out to them ten fold-like chase they @$$es up and down the street with a hot branding iron or an electric cow prod. And no Im not sorry to offend them either, just sayin'.

Careful catdaddy, you might start a new tradition around here. Some people I know would enjoy that sort of entertainment.

 

[bayerchicks]

From the PM I just got it sounds as though it is animal cruelty and someone should be penalized for torchering animals.

I kinda figured that. The sad thing is that the local TV stations have stories about this CRAP. If I see it this year, I will contact the TV stations and take a stand about it and let them know. So if you hear about a woman featured on a Lafayette TV station opposing the Mardi Gras Chicken Runs, it will be me. I"ll keep you all posted.
