Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

Despite the explanation I'm still not clear on what he's called.

Ronald!

Or Rognvald the Red, as he'll be known in the epic sagas that will no doubt be written of his future antics.

Ohhhhh—literally, Ronald?! Nothing more mystical?

Giving chickens completely unpronounceable Old Norse names with no obvious modern equivalent is how you end up accidentally summoning an Eldritch terror, when you just wanted to feed your flock some meal worms.

With or without the battle to the death?

With. It has to be.

I have a shirt that actually says "Imay look like I'm listening, but I'm actually thinking about chickens."
It's very true.
Love the meme.

New shirt:

No words, just chickens...

And they all look like they're waiting for treats.

With. It has to be.

I would not mess with them!

At the moment I leave 2 hours before the sun comes up every week day. Since I need to feed the CX pullets twice a day I literally wake them up to eat, and once they are done eating I put them back on their roost. Really considering buying an automatic feeder, cause this one is isn't getting any less tired

I literally send this yesterday and this morning. I was quite surprised. As I went to feed the CX at 6 in the morning, as one does, I saw one of the Hubbards standing outside the coop opening, jumping down into the run! The sun isn't supposed to be up until around 8-ish. Why is she alone awake this early?

It is a full moon so it is pretty bright. I do know that CX tend to stay out like 1.5 hours later in the evening compared to normal chickens, so I assume she found it bright enough to go search for food? Don't know if it matters but she is the only CX laying at the moment.

And how would one pronounce that gob full ?

sorry, can't resist:

 

[kattabelly]

I imagine the same way a Klingon would…?

With or without the battle to the death?

With. It has to be.

Why do folk on the thread of Shadrach the Roosterist want me to challenge my cockerel to hay'chu' ?
