The sky was so pretty tonight.

With all due respect, I'm going to disagree.
I've raised Amazon parrots, Cockatoos, cockatiels and budgies. The bigger birds liked to share the shower with me or my GF. The smaller birds loved a spray from a squirt bottle. Dust was hardly an issue.

On the other hand, the chickens I have are the dustiest things I have ever seen.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, the "they" in that sentence was in reference to the chickens. I wouldn't want a house bird because of how dusty they (the chickens) are, because I'd just "know" in my head that the house birds were putting bird dust, to some extent, into the air.

ETA: After reading Nova & Swampducks' posts looks like the dust is just one reason.

Don't worry, m2, I'll pick RB's uggos up and bring them back this way for her.

Hi all,
I don't post much but I thought I'd pop in and say hello. I'm getting pretty excited about Chickenstock. We were all just talking at dinner tonight about how much fun we had last year. We got our cayuga ducklings and we even won a pullet from the raffle(we named her Delta Mills).

Weather prediction for Saturday sounds great-mostly sunny with high of 82 and 0% chance of rain.

See you all soon!
Natalie
P.S. I'll be the 8 1/2 month pregnant lady trying to find shade.

If any of you RNs are looking to change jobs, there are lots of government opportunities listed at usajobs.gov. There's also one for you Raz, Research Ecologist.

I see. I agree with the house chicken thing. I raised my chicks indoors and they were terribly dusty as they got older. Even with daily cleaning of the brooder, I could hardly wait to get them outside.

With my Amazon parrot, he would go to the same spot to poo. Then when he was done, he would say "did ya wipe?". I miss my birds but I sure don't miss the messes they made.

Oddly enough, as I type this, I have a baby skunk helping me type.

2 1/2 hours yesterday and then 15 hours today but the Chickenstock flock is done. Now I ask you, have you ever seen a prettier flock of chickens?
