Official Squatch Watchers

It's the oral medication one.

I see no indication in the article or the 10 very high reviews that anyone thought there was a problem with it.

Maybe it was the links at the bottom to resources?

Or an oversight

I do understand the concern. It would have been nice to have a discussion about it instead of just deleting it.
If people had questions or concerns I would have answered them.
It's not that different from the cookie tin water heater. Or the terracotta heater using tea lights.
You can Google directions for those.

Yeah, but that line of thought leads to a world bubble wrapped for safety.
It is almost there now!
This is the world of chickens and other types of birdies, it isn't for pansies.
Nobody is going to get any smarter by deleting things.

Aaaaahhhhhhh. See? You just hit the nail on the head

Smart people would follow the directions to a T and have the same fantastic results that Nunny had, but
others might not be good readers, or be a “distracted reader” and just skim.... try to save some money...substitute supplies... eyeball things ... burn down their coop, their house.... kill their family...

I can see the other side of this too.

Sorry Nunny......that stinks. I know you put alot of work and thought into writing it.

I agree ! It was an excellently written article / DIY tutorial with clear and understandable instructions and great photography.

I’m not arguing with you but I will add that the bubble wrap theory works fine with adults but this site is open for young kids too, and that’s not a project that some precocious 10 yr old should attempt to “improvise” on without an adult.
I’m not taking up for anyone, I’m just trying to rationalize it in my own head.
I don’t know what drives decisions here or what kinds of things get reviewed because of possible “legal” things.

I do understand where they are coming from. I would have felt terrible if someone tried making one, did it improperly and killed their birds. Then messaged me telling me it's all my fault.
It would have been nice if discussion have happened first. Then the decision of it's dangerous could have been made.
I feel slightly personally attacked because people reported the article instead of asking and basically said I was an idiot who must have killed my birds.

Definitely would have been nice to have a discussion beforehand.

awww. They went about it all wrong Nunny.
And it sucks that people circumvented you. The complainers obviously weren’t people who know you like we do and might have been afraid to contact you themselves.
If WE’D doubted you we would have asked you questions or told you no flat out.

I'm hoping that no one reports my culling article. It is the sort of thing people need to know how to do, even if it isn't exactly palatable to some.

I was thinking I needed to wait until I had a chick that needed to be culled, but I think that would have been too graphic, especially for the audience I'm targeting. I think the "Peep" bunny worked pretty well.

It really does stink.

Interestingly, now that I think about it, my article that got first or second place never got featured like it was supposed to. I bet someone thinks it's dangerous,.

And......I'm still ticked off cuz I won a free calendar and never got it! They are just toying with our emotions.
