Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

[no fly zone]

The Swiss have more guns per person than than the USA I believe but don't have the same problems. Many people I knew in Catalonia had guns and managed to not have the type of gun crime that seems common in the USA. In fact lots there are lots of countries where gun possesion is common where gun crime is comparatively rare.

In the US, the areas with highest crime rates tend to be where it is difficult for law abiding citizens to purchase firearms.

I have a half DZ and they have never shot a person LOL
My dad was a sniper in WW II because he grew up subsistence hunting and was a crack shot before the war... he never hunted after the war... had enough of death

That is the main reason I am so glad I don't live in the US even though there are so many things I don't like about my country. So many of you are convinced owning weapons is normal, even rightful. It is just beyond my understanding, even trying honestly.
I think I have less difficulty understanding why people believe in God . But neither are the subject on a chicken forums so I focus on all that you folks are teaching me about chickens.

Celebrating my three remaining ex-batt's fictional four years old birthday today, out of six in the beginning ! I don't know what age they exactly were when we got them, they were young pullets because the battery had given out all their remaining spent layers when my partner and his father got there. They began laying two months after so I made up a birthday date around the 15 October.

I'm still a bit irked by the flat change fiasco. The person responsible for arranging the move sat in one of those chairs when doing the interview for the transfer. They know exactly what the flats at the other site are like. It should have been obvious that there was no way I was going to fit even half of the stuff I have in the new flat! If the housing provider published a floor plan of the flats with dimensions I would have known that the move wasn't an option.

 

[Perris]

I can understand your frustration; it should have been obvious to them. But next time you can ask them directly to confirm that what you've got will fit in what they're offering early on in the conversation and save a repeat of this fiasco.

It would bother me too.

Perris is right, you'll just have to close that knowledge gap for the next person who discusses housing with you.

To cheer you up, you may have helped another rooster.
