So we burn them to sex them?

Yeah, that seems good, it follows the logic. Now we've got a plan.

Loved "The Life of Brian" reference! But yeah it is true folks get silly nonsense in their heads.

The easiest culling method I know of for males is see who challenges our predators. Not many roosters tolerate molestation of their hens(human or otherwise).

No bantam rooster could injure a human!
I saw it on this site...

Oh, Lordy, I hope that wasn't me! I have told my daughter that her little OEGB can't really hurt her because he is so small, so that she would stand up to him to show him that she was the boss. Of course, he is young and doesn't have spurs yet, so the most he could do is scratch or peck.
It worked though. He ran at her and she put her foot up so he "ran in to it', and she shoved him back. He has never done it again, and she is no longer intimidated by him. He is back to being a total pet.

I survived the Polar vortex too! 40 below zero! Good to know your hens did well.

great! Yep. I locked them in their henhouse for three days. I gave them bonus foods like warm oatmeal, beef stew, and constant water. I went out at night and felt their feet. They were always warm.

"You can't let your chickens out in the winter"
"Pullets won't lay in the winter"
"Chickens and ducks don't get along"
"Roosters always grow up to be mean"
"Chickens can't fly over a fence"
Heard these all from people have haven't owned chickens

 

[Bigbluefrog]

Oh here is a good one!
You must clip their wings or they will all fly away and never come back.

( this one did concern me for a bit... til she said you need a rooster so the eggs have more nutrients in it)

 

[StaffordshireLady]

Nope but have you ever had ebblewoi? If you ferment it it rocks! I'm sure the chicken feel it too.

The thing is you don't expose it to oxygen.

Is this just pure apple juice?

 

[StaffordshireLady]

Yeah, that seems good, it follows the logic. Now we've got a plan.

Oh! My G-d! What ever next?

 

[AllenK RGV]

Is this just pure apple juice?

No ebblewoi, is fermented apple juice. It is from Germany, but a precursor to ACV. It is also is usually 5.1 percent or so alcohol. It is commonly served sour, gespritzed or suess. So gespritz with bubbles(tonic) or sweet with fanta. Sour is probably made with with the juice of sauerkraut I never had one of those so can not say.

Regardless, I have drank that stuff so I can't have worms and I must now be healthy.

Tequila is fermented Agave, margarita's are made from tequila, therefore, margarita's are a health drink! And the tasty pre-bottled ones from Costco are 12.5% alchohol, so they are like at least 2.25-times better than the weird German apple stuff with the made-up name, because you don't have to water it down with stuff!

I like my logic!
