according to this lady that came to the house today
I was not gonna post about it but it has really chapped my xxx so to speak and now I want to vent I put this in the managing flock section because it involves how I manage them.
A woman came to replace some hens (predators I believes but she said the problem was fixed) anyway she wanted to buy 3 of mine and brought a friend. Well in the course of taking her around (after spraying her shoes with Lysol) she asked about the hot wire. I told her about my coon situation (see my I Hate Coons post) she said I was a horrible woman, I tried to explain that just dropping it off a few miles away was not a better solution, oh well.
Then we get to my eggloo (small British made coop supposed to be able to hold 4 but not really) in it I had one Bared Rock Pullet and an even younger silkie roo, so basically 1 1/2 chickens in a small but very reasonable sized coop that I move like a tractor every 2 weeks to a different part of the yard. Well she said how dare I raise chickens is such conditions that the poor Bared rock was abused because it was in a small coop and that if I could not afford to build great huge coops like hersand manage my flock properly then I did not deserve to have chickens, then she yelled at me for eating my extra roos. I told her she was crazy that I loved and cared very well for my pets and collected my money (the buyer was a nicer woman) and walked them to their car.
So eggloo plus 5 month old Bared Rock and 4 month old silkie equals animal abuser, and apparently protecting the flock that I abuse so makes me in line with the devil or some such thing.
