Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

I would be inclined not to stroke a hen that crouched for me.
None have in the past but that I'm sure is because there have always been cockerels and roosters. The field hens haven't so far but I could invisage it happening. They are starting to listen to me and that may not be a good thing.

Mine crouch for me, especially in a attempt to trip me up while herding them into a coop.

A couple of my first chickens did, but none since.

Probably a litle bit offtopic, but I do find it interesting that BYC automatically links the website of TSC also written as tractor supply whenever mentioned. Ofcourse it's a very popular place to get chicks from in the USA, but here in the Netherlands I can't even access the site . So why am I promoting something I can't even look at?

The sponsors get their names linked . I don't know how much they pay for that.

Lowe’s grocery or hardware? I can never remember which has the apostrophe. No Lowes groceries around here.

I like Lowes, as much as I like any big box store, but someone’s son-in-law got hired to run their IT. Even the employees can’t keep caught up on what got moved where since their last shift.

Lowe's the home/hardware big box store.

Well, let’s just say that I was caught off-balance.

The best way to prevent yourself from getting anything untoward happening to you with any 'data' is to not click on links in emails and don't go to sketchy/pervy/gross/unsafe websites. Don't click on things. Don't click on ads.

Yes, don't be my mother... "Something is wrong with my computer, I clicked on a story about 'pick any little old lady click-bait ad topic' and all these windows keep opening.." *sigh

One of the best things about running ad blockers and restricting tracking is not getting “suggestions” from Google two seconds later of something I might like to buy because of a site I had just visited.

Or, ads that pop up after the Egg Thief and I have a conversation in the same room as his phone...

I still have the Google apps on my phone because they simply work. Nothing beats Google Maps for maps. It's super annoying but I put up with it because oh well.

I google map walked Whitby so much before we went that I knew where everything was, when we got there..LOL
