Men and chickens.

I guess I and the men I know here must be a bit odd. I've seen men crying here because a predator got their favorite rooster.
I think this men are unemotional is a bit of a stereotype. Maybe American men are more like this.:confused:

I've not finished reading the whole thread yet but I think it's a great topic. I am MAN! I like many others was lurking and googling questions and got directed here more often than not. So I thought I may as well join. I'm not on Facebook or any other social media. I do have a YouTube channel but thats more for family living abroad to catch up on. I'm not the most extrovert and like to keep myself and my own mostly. I find that most people particularly the ones I work with just like to berate me because of my love of our feathered friends. They always want eggs but no talky about them. So here is where I find so much solice with like minded people with a common interest. I like to ask questions aswell as the social side of it. To the question I've quoted, I don't feel the need to advertise or prove how manly I am but what I will say is that I have and do partake in some overtly male orientated activities. I find peace in my hens. Some people know that I'm an advocate for rehoming battery hens, well when I first got them, I'll admit this out loud for the first time, that I cried (I don't cry!). It touched something inside me. Seeing the poor hens in such a bad state was really upsetting. There was so many of them. This made me more determined to protect and care for all my hens to the absolute best I can. BYC has helped me so much and people here understand that they are so much more than 'just a chicken'.

Yup, you always get the 'I'm so Macho' types make comments like ' I like eating them, hur, hurr, hurr', when you talk about chickens with any degree of affection. I have to try very hard not to sit such people on their rear ends.;)
Thankfully you don't get much of that here from the farmers and others who actually work for a living with animals.
