Awesome news!One of my buddies from college is starting a flock, and he's open to getting some of Skeksis's descendants to keep the lineage going.

Does he live close by?One of my buddies from college is starting a flock, and he's open to getting some of Skeksis's descendants to keep the lineage going.
That's a shame. I thought it might have been a friend close by where you live now.
LOL I just love when people ask you how you accomplished something then tell you that you are wrong! Proof is in the scratching.I've had similar and the discussions to go with it. My view, not a popular view I expect here on BYC is most people just do not know how to keep chickens. I had the chickens on the vegetable plot in Catalonia. One of the people from the main house would shoe then off whenever they saw the chickens in there.
I took them to a few of the local small holdings that had their chickens running around the place. Many of these smallholding used to fence the chickens on the vegetable plot rather than off it so the chickens would do the work cleaning out pests, tilling the soil and fertilizing the ground. Delicate (read chicken favourites) got temporarliy covered with wire cages much like I've used at the field. My plot at the field is the most productive per square metre cultivated. Yup, every now and then a plant gets dug up or some leaves get chewed but if I'm out there with them it's easy to prevent or put right. People at the field ask me how I get so much produce from the area, so they've noticed it's very productive. I tell them it's because the chickns are on it most days for a while. Nope, they won't believe that's the reason it's more productive then their plots which they haul in shop compost to maintain.
It's just one of those strange things about people, myself included. They're presented with the evidence, want a similar result, but just can't accept it.
I wish. I don't have any friends here where I live now.
Before I got the electric fence which now gives the chickens a large garden of their own I would walk them across a field to where I grew veg in raised beds.I've had similar and the discussions to go with it.
