Really? Iv'e done a couple Marlene's and there is a plug then give it a little push and iv'e got a cheese gyser. I was like where is the rest? With Hobo's. Marlene does tend to overdo everything though, even bumbles.
I haven't heard her jump down yet, Rene and her take elevator rides on my arm to get down in the morning. They're plenty big enough but they still expect it. I imagine when she doesn't want rides anymore she'll shake the floor.
Show your hubby the birthday beaver.
easy to say cull them when you don't have a relationship with them.::::::::
Super annoyed with a non chicken friend. Called and asked about borrowing his truck. (The moving person has a small coop that the D'Uccles where in. Said if the home buyer doesn't want it it's mine.) So say what going on and just asking cause it's up in the air but want to be prepared. I said something about, "I got the chickens might as well get their house." and the lecture on my chickens started.
He grew up on a cattle farm. So feels that chickens are livestock. When I was talking about Sugar and how I found her and was trying to nurse her back to health he said I should have just culled her. I know I'm a softie. I don't like to cull. I don't want to. But if I thought she had no hope or was suffering I would have done it. I'm keeping an eye on Gladys. Her spirits are high and she seems happy. Will she ever walk normal? Probably not. But she eats and drinks and POOPS. So why not let her live. He would have culled her too.
Gives me this "you're a farmer" crap. No. No I'm not a farmer. These are my pet chickens. Do I have a lot of pet chickens? Yes. But they are a flock animal. They do better in a flock. The flock is healthy.
I don't have 30 cats. Eating and pooping all over the place and making each other and me sick.
I have chickens living like chickens should.
::::end rant::::
Do you think I can cull her she eats out of my hand, I can't 
I also have mine in my backyard....granted, we do have half an acre but still live in downtown. I know what you mean....when I tell people I raise chickens they always say " Oh, I thought you lived in town?" Then they look at me like I'm a nutjob having chickens in my backyard.
I'd give her to you if you lived closer, I won't be using her as a breeder. I know you need to stay clandestine though.
Hey. Here’s a girlfriend’s reminder not to get sucked into him being nice and showing that he’s “changed”.
Me too. Backyard chickens.I also have mine in my backyard....granted, we do have half an acre but still live in downtown. I know what you mean....when I tell people I raise chickens they always say " Oh, I thought you lived in town?" Then they look at me like I'm a nutjob having chickens in my backyard.
