boy, you must have moved close to a bunch of real snobs, my husband and i go out of our way to help neighbors, well, if they weren't real snobs(nice name for her, i usually call her something else) like the ones on the hills, her i wouldn't throw a bucket of water on if she was dying of thirst lol, it will be nice to move for you so you can have some help.

At least the relatives will take turns making sure we don't starve...even if they will gripe the whole time...lol

Now it makes sense  
I agree that the story was too sensationalized and if more folks used common sense there would be a lot less worrying needed.  But in this day and age it seems that common sense and personal responsibility are getting to be more the exception than the norm....

yup. I mean... people keeping chicks in their kitchen? It would be more of a miracle if they didn't get sick.

What??? No chicks in the kitchen? Where am I supposed to keep them then? Lmao
I just don't LICK my chicks

60 people in the whole country is nothing. Humans need to toughen up there immune systems.
Most live and act like Howie Mandel. Too bad it wasn't something deadly to cull the herd!

Sorry I have not figured this forum out yet. I'm not used to an endless thread with 100 different topics.
This was about the CDC warning that 60 people in the whole country have gotten salmonella from Frenching there chickens.

So it is okay if I stick the whole chick in my mouth as long as I don't french it?

Actually I think we did establish that a few pages back. That liking chicks is bad. XD

For the folks interested in breeding:

I posted in the CCL thread and got a great response regarding "line breeding"(seems great to this rookie)....anyway, 'Chickat' was the author....https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/713115/cream-legbar-working-group-standard-of-perfection/2950

I don't have a problem with folks having them about anywhere in the house... as long as the brooder is kept reasonably clean, isn't over crowded and common sense hand washing is done after handling chicks then it shouldn't matter. If the chick is in your garage or barn and you handle it and then go into the house and prepare a meal without washing your hands it is just as dangerous as having them in the kitchen and not washing your hands. Although I still think folks not allowing their immune systems to ever have to work creates a higher risk of getting sick with more serious consequences. You can't build immunity to all germs, and I realize that... but some folks don't seem to be able to handle even the most basic ones anymore. Antibiotics and antibacterials are awesome things, but horribly over used IMO...
If you listen to all of the 'sky is falling' types it is a wonder humans ever survived long enough to discover Penicillin! ... just go get dirty once in a while, get sick once in a while and get over it and go on to the next project....

So we went to Green Dragon tonight and got 4 chickens (even though we wanted 5 lol)... so we are official

!!!

DH worked VERY hard on the coop & run and he just couldn't wait to have chickens who could apprerciate all his hardwork, so my mixed flock of 5 bubble was burst in a 1 minute flurry of shouted numbers

!!! We got home after the sun had already set and daylight was fading, we took the girls from the cage and straight into the coop to explore their new home. My 10 yr old named one and the neighbor girl who tagged along named one, 2 remain nameless until tomorrow. My son named one Zero (not a clue why) and the neighbor girl named the other Miss Peckerton IV, this name has merrit though because that girl has many missing feathers from her back. At first we though it was due to fighting in the box while waiting to be auctioned... but then we got all of them out and could see that 2 of the girls had obviously had "relations" with a rooster on the farm before being put on the auction block hehehe.

Now, here's a question, ummm what breed do we have? The auctioneer simply called them Red Hens, but I know better, just not better enough to know exactly what. A little help please?!

Sorry about the picture quality.

Ha! No licking and no chickens in the kitchen. Ok. Got it. Turkeys in the kitchen are ok, right?.

Yes. And made me feel so much better when I thought I was going to have to cull my whole flock of babies after listening to all the sensationalism.


@ KlingKlan. I'm gonna say your new girls are production reds or red sex links.

Sure! Ducks are fine too. XD
