What will you do?

What will you do?

I’ll call the zoo first to see what their policy is on cockerels. I haven’t heard back from the rescue charity but they may not look at emails over the weekend.

Good luck!

I found a photo of Joyce Cusack. Joyce Chicken is named after her.

And another one of Joyce Cusack! Seems she was fond of having her photo taken.

These two are Dad and his older brother, Uncle Rick (his first name was Warwick, but everyone called him Rick).

Good luck!

So the zoo will most likely euthanise. They said sometimes they try to rehome, or will keep a pretty bird, but they mainly euthanise. The hen rescue charity has on their Facebook page that they can’t accept any more roosters. So I’ve got the contact details of five farms and farm stays in the area, which I will call tomorrow as it’s Sunday today.

For me, good means I'm learning new things, so yes it's good.

I almost always enjoy learning and a course on chickens is the bee's knees as far as I'm concerned.

I don't think there are any real-time lectures, although I haven't got to the end of the course yet, so I can't say that with any certainty. But I'd be surprised if there were any, because it's an asynchronous online course, so it proceeds at my pace not the teachers' pace. So far, it's been mostly reading, videos and discussion forums, with a few quizzes thrown in.

Like Shad said, it's aimed at vets so I often find myself looking up terminology, which is *awesome* because that gives me even more learning.

I've finished it and I'm not quite sure what I think of it.
The mix of BHWT and Nottingham University is probably not a good thing imo.
Their aims and values are too different as is their level of knowledge.

Sorry about the laughter. I realise it's a major problem for many people.
