Happy Hump Day byc LAyers! My husband is helping run the torch for the special Olympics into town today. Say a prayer for all of the guys and gals with the military group that are doing this event. Its over half a marathon!!!!!
A little thought from me today.........
When it comes for searching for techniques and advise for caring for you chickens. Do not put all your stock in peoples internet poultry advice, when to those people their chickens are their source of $$$income via social media fan base and a multitude of sponsors. Their job is for you to believe their pitch and buy.
I always have believed that for a majority of people in this day that $$ taints things. I may be a bit on the pessimistic side. But this has rang so very true over the last few years as I have read threads here on byc and watched the open sharing of personal practice and experience. Experiences that people ACTUALLY have vs the "recommended" (which while often may be true, its more of a sales pitch to benefit their sponsors and therefore their pocketbook). When compared to social media pages or websites where the individual is giving the advise and making money off of their "expertise" and they have lots of sponsors.........its beginning to smack of used car salesmen out there.
Sometimes you just want to talk to a REAL chicken farmer. Not someone who has spit shined their cutesy edited photos and have lots of "trendy tips" about how to raise chickens. I love hearing the different ways that people take care of their flock in real time. Hearing those experiences are invaluable.
This point has been driven home even more securely for me in the past months^^^^^^^
Basically......eyes wide open. That's all

Soooo realistic!
Those bloggers (many not all but many lol) have not had to deal with issues or even the weather and bugs and predators we get down here. So it feels sorta like generic info they're giving when you really need the niddy griddy to actually help with a bird you are holding
I posted my bunny bit pics to ask for help sexing baby bunnies was "inappropriate and rude" on a facebook page for rabbit breeding...uuuhhh hmmmm they weren't lewd
but HERE...bunny bits and hen hooha pics can be very informative and get real answers to questions fast

Wonderful post. And so true. Especially the bloggers that have a link to take you to Amazon to buy.
So awesome for your husband and his crew to be part of the event!
