Silence Is Not Golden Here

[Zinjifrah]

I’m not particularly fond of monkeys either, though I like pigs.

That doesn’t make you a wuss. Some people can do it, some can’t. I tend to think that everyone should try butchering their own meat at least once (unless you’re a vegetarian) to see what it’s like.

Oh, I've butchered often enough! I just tend to make my animals into pets. I kill them if it's a mercy to keep them from suffering. I grew up in a hunting family, though, and I've fished regularly until moving to a place where I wouldn't be willing to eat what I caught. Too much chemical waste in the reservoirs here, and the fish are all warm-water fish. I have trouble thinking of a catfish as 'edible'. Give me a wild run silver salmon or a sea-run cut-throat trout any day! Nice and fresh, bright from the ocean with the sea lice still on them... that's my kind of fish.

Sorry guys, I'm not very active on here today, too busy with chicken moving and finishing summer rebuilding

I know you have, I remember discussing hunting before haha. I do the same with my animals, I would have a hard time raising meat birds or cattle solely for slaughter. I’m sure it would be easier in an industrial setting instead of raising a few in your backyard.

No worries hombre, take your time.

I find it interesting that ppl raise chickens if they don’t like eating eggs. What do you do with all the eggs if your not eating them?

I don't have any laying eggs yet. But when I do, I'll be giving them away, particularly to the very nice, feisty old lady across the way.

Well... and probably trying to hatch some. I still want to make an EE/Serama cross.... Hey, I've got the Cochin/EE cross chick... maybe someday an EE/Cochin/Serama cross.... Fluffy legs, a fluffy face, and a serama strutt?

Family, friends, neighbors, dogs, the chickens themselves...
All more than willing to get free eggs.
