Putting them in the Gulag or A day in the life of Ivan Denisochick

[chickbea]

This is just too clever for words. How you can muster this much creativity this time of year amazes me! I've been all but brain-dead for the last couple of weeks!
Anyway, I'd dump the poo in your garden now, unless you have a run-off issue (you don't say where you live - is your ground frozen?). I have raised garden beds so I toss poo out there all winter long. I also add it regularly to my compost pile to keep the heat going in it through winter.

Chickbea-
You add the chicken poo and litter straight on top of your raised beds in winter and then till them under some spring? Is there any issue with smell? How close to planting can you continue to toss the poo on without burning the new plants?
thanks!

Freedom to the peeps! Let my peeps speak!

Release the poops and peeps...

Comrade Badhbh,

Well Put. When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time; one must always go forward - or go back. Like our tractors full of chickens do.

Communism is Chicken power plus the electrification of the whole country.

A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary chicken; furthermore, not every revolutionary chicken can lead a revolution.

Down with the Imperialists!

 

[Badhbh]

A question that haunts me still.. Do you leave your future-sisters-of-the-revolution in the gulag 24-7? Or do you transport said soldiers to the coop at the end of the day? My concern is the potential flight risk from some of the more unenlightened bourgeois. Escape is unthinkable, yet still a possibility. What is the method of transport that is used to move your "guests" from the gulag to the coop? Do you grab one and hang on? Do they go willingly? Blindfolds?

 

[Queen of the Lilliputians]

You guys are too smart for me.. AAAAAHHHH!

What would you do if said chickens staged a revolt?

(btw, you ever want to see a communist chicken, get a d'Anvers.. LOL! My little roo looks like a Stalin walking around on tiptoes with his hands clasped behind his back)

Those who are not with us, are against us.
The warm and nurturing bosom of the Motherland is the only TRUE paradise. Deep litter and cracked corn for everyone! WE WILL BURY YOUR POO! Traitors to the revolution will be summarily eaten with a nice orange sauce, or perhaps some manner of edible fungi.

Chicken power in the garden is a precarious issue. I find that an hour or so of daily freedom from the crabgrass Gulag means my garden beds get de-beetled and lightly fertilized without any detrimental effects. And the crabgrass in the Gulag is gone due to the peeps digging and fluffing as they contemplate escape. A taste of freedom is enervating!
We move the tractor Gulag to a new patch of crabgrass every 2 weeks.

I will have to apply fencing to the strawberry/asparagus bed in the spring, however, to keep the greedy peeps OUT. Chicken power can get adequate fuel from the hulls and soft spots. The rest of each berry is MINE!!!

 

[Sandman]

Of course comrade, like all things made in the spirit of revolution, escape is impossible.

Most of the time the little capitalists squeal with fear, until apropriately hung upside down for the short travel. My hands are big and grip is mighty like a bear, thus i carry two to three in my grasp. Currently I have 6 in each gulag. I then work them for a few days straight until weather or travel or they are reeducated, and then I move them back to the utopian coop.


While they do not go willingly, once in, they realize the joy of communal life, they enjoy being off the sand and oak leaves and go to work on bamboo and monkey grass. I will put about two too many in the gulag and move it often. I find that an extra two capitalists will help clear the area exponentially faster.


I also wait too feed them their borscht until midday. that way they fatten on bamboo.

A REVOLT never happens in our society. The chickens in the gulag have forgotten what true freedom is all about.

WEGOTCHICKENS it is true in their zealousness of socialism, they will eat the fruit of our labors, but that is easily solved by Gulag Time.

Remember, a Chicken is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed. (Joseph Stalin)


Do vstrechi,

Comrade Sandman

move past the mindless religion you claim as communism

remember the inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings and
the inherent virtue of communism is the equal sharing of miseries.

happy chickens, working for themselves to achieve their own goals, are productive
chickens.

your communism is the corruption of a dream of freedom

let your chickens go
