Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

You are correct:

However, this post encourages getting points (from a different thread):

100+ warning points makes you barely a decent member.

You are correct:

I have not encountered anyone who is actually rude or abusive on here.

Don't go into any of the teen threads.

I prefer this nice quiet corner of BYC.

I like this corner, too. Maybe we all enjoy sitting around Shadrach's chair as much as the chickens do

Mow is so incredibly beautiful.

Her poof, pantaloon and short legs make her look all cute and cuddly, but her personality seems very independent.

Rude is a rather subjective notion. I have never found any posts downright rude, or insulting, on BYC (granted, I only read posts centered on chickens). But I find an awful lot of them assertively judgemental ; a few I I did find moderately offensive or displeasing because of that, although they were definitely not impolite. It's been true on this thread, on mine, and on almost all the threads that I follow. I don't mind overall, I think it's partly due to reading a foreign language and to the fact that writing things down make them come out as if set in stone.

Let's just hope none of us jump on his lap

Here's a bucolic video for your enjoyment:

Yes, bucolic indeed, even asmr listening to them. You're lucky. These are the sounds I get in the morning from a 800 grams old bantam lady.

Oh, reading what I wrote I realise it could sound like I was saying I find our host @Shadrach excessively judgemental. It's definitely not what I meant as I was thinking about the way people write on BYC in general. But yes, Shad could make it to the top of the people who don't wrap up what they say ! For better or for worse, or both .

Maybe bc personal choices as an advice to others may easily become displeasing or impolite to others. Even though the intention is good?

To me it sounds like Chipie is calling out for her flock mates, a request to respond to her call. So she knows where they are. To join or not to join.
How old is Chipie now?

If you think I'm going to start hand feeding you all walnuts, grapes and other goodies you've got another think coming.

People are judgemental. Freedom of speech works both ways. There is nothing wrong with having an opinion, or defending that opinion in an assertive manner. Some people seem to live in a state of being offended but from what I've read, those people don't have any problems stating their opinion, they just don't like it when others do the same.

I have never been offended by anything I've read on BYC, or most of the internet come to that. People seem to forget that if one posts personal stuff one is likely to get some backdraft. If one is particularly sensitive then don't treat the internet as a chat with ones friends in some cosy cafe.
