Yeah, it is unfortunate that the acts of a few have to effect so many. Maybe next time those people will be more careful about what they say and how they say it. We run a tight ship here at BYC, but it makes it all the better for everyone.
Hi! Lighten up! It was tongue-in-cheek! (And if what I thought actually mattered... I'd do some long deserved bannings and smile)
I learned how to make (and made) homemade yogurt from one of those threads and was reminded I don't like yogurt (home-made didn't make it taste better to me). And I think the yogurt thread is the only thread in that list I've read
What I see as *nonsense* must be an important part of this forum to some people. No disrespect, but it is NOT to me. I don't click into "'games', social', etc, for exactly that reason.
I certainly wouldn't want it taken away. That's why "Delete them all", was a joke.
First time on, so not really sure how this site works, but here goes.
Last Nov. I bought 3 peachicks at the Ohio National, that were hatched in May. This spring when I let them out of a day time, I would have to round them up in the evening because they would not go back into there house, but would just sit down wherever they happen to be when the sun went down. After about4 -6 weeks of that, they began to roost in an oak tree, 30-40 feet off the ground. In the morning they would come down, go into their house and eat and spend the remainder of the day either in their house or in the under-brush. Well, last Sat. morning at 5:10 am, they started honking, as they usually do when they decide to fly from the tree. When I went out in the morning, they were still hanging out under the tree, while continuing to honk. One had been killed. The head and neck had been eaten. As a child, I remember this to be the work of the Horned Owl. With gears terning, how am I going to stop an owl? When evening time approached, before getting into the tree, I walked them into their house. Just on a notion, I set a live trap w/liver treats in it. At 3:10 am, the honking started again. I had caught a large coon in the trap. Do coons eat the heads and necks? If it was getting light out, I don't think it is possilbe for a coon the catch it. I hate to keep the peacocks locked up, but if I have to, I guess it's my only alternative. Coon or owl? Any input would be appreciated. Thanx

I don't mean to sound shallow but the fact our meat bird thread made that list
puts a smile on my face.
There have been hundreds of threads here with hundreds of responses that
stayed on topic and almost worked like mini journals. The information that they
contained is priceless.
Has anyone done searches on Google and come up with BYC posts? Try it. You
might be amazed at how many times these top threads and others come up.
