Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

One of my new Littles being brought up by Tassels is a Buckeye. I love the Mahogany coloring.
She is only 11 weeks old, seems very calm, and definitely prefers to forage rather than be fed. That may be Tassels’ influence rather than breed as Tassels seemed to disapprove of chick starter from the very first day she got them.
I don’t think she has killed any mice yet - though I did find a dead mouse in the run a couple of days ago.

I have 1 hen with about the same mahogany colouring. She is the one who always comes to the back door to check if it is feeding time or time for an extra treat. The laziest forager of the Glock.

My Iphone accepts flock, and shows the alternatives: flocking and flocks. Maybe it gets better if you change the English to UK Enlish?

"No way they're referring to chickens! All these Americans ever talk about is guns! 'Flock' must be a typo!"

Two and a half hours. Grey and damp at 14C.

With my vision (retinal disease) and terrible balance, I’m pretty sure that I don’t need to be armed!

Luckily, my vision at a distance is just fine. ;-)

I envy you! I live surrounded by wavy or zig-zagged lines that are supposed to be straight, plus double vision.

I’ve gone target shooting a few times in the past, and surprised myself with how well I did. That was a loooong time ago though.

Your glock of chickens shoots poop, not guns.

Neither do glocks (autocorrect turned that into glockenspiel for some strange reason). You're going to have to name a bird Bullet, Cartridge, or Shell.

Thanks for the response. There wasn't really an issue because i bought a recycled plastic coop.

Well, I guess not. Hope my post might be useful to someone else. Recovering my OSB floor with pallet wood saved me a lot of money.

I am 55 this year, but surgery on my eyes, is terrifies me.

It's actually very simple. I only had one eye done so far.

this kind of abbreviations really need an explanation or whatever planation.

In the same post I had typed out Eastern NC, thought it would be obvious. Sorry.

 

[fuzzi]

Pretty sure that it stands for Eastern North Carolina, which she had just referred to. That includes the Sandhills, Tidewater and coastal capes, and the Outer Banks islands.

Thank you.
