The Front Porch Swing

I wanna make some rainbow mutt babies.

I hope I can cross those EE's and the marans at some point. They would be SO cool (and possibly olive eggers!)

Me, too! I kept a slightly obnoxious Cuckoo Marans cockerel so he can help make Olive Eggers.

There's a rescue up North, it's called chicken run rescue. They implant the chickens with birth control implants for dogs. I am not kidding you. They want you to pay an adoption fee to have a pet chicken that cannot lay eggs because that's abuse. Oh. Dear. LORD.

Crazy vegans.  (Vegan is fine. CRAZY vegan is not fine. These are the ones that treat those who do not live like them like we're the scum of the earth. Not cool.)

That made me snort! hahahaha But ya know... you could get rich off this wide spread ignorance. LOL ...I shouldn't talk about them like that. They can't help it, bless their hearts. LOL

YOU LEAVE THE PORCH!

HA! ...and get in trouble.

I saw a post here once. Help bring ethics to agriculture! It was a little organization all excited to explain to farmers how to behave ethically. One of their missions is to stop on farm slaughter unless stunning is used. Either electrical or gas stunning. They were promoting using portable stunners for poultry processing. I guess people who don't electrocute their chickens lack ethics ...

Ohh good golly! What have they got against a claw hammer or a .22? LOL

I absolutely would not be able to gas an animal........ Hitler used gas on humans.......that would always be on my mind.......

Like those people who refuse to discuss chickens with you unless you agree to use the terms cockerel and pullet properly?

I promise to not get too precious about the Delawares. I want to help restore the breed, but don't want to be snooty.

Yes...those people. Those people need to get out of the coop for awhile and look at the big picture if the term rooster offends them.

When I called that male chicken a rooster, a bunch of my friends from the porch came over to defend me. And drag me back to the porch. Bee really gave them heck. I was proud of her. But we all realized the best company was on the porch, where snobs just do not fit in........

Yeah...I haven't been back on that thread, nor will I. Cannot stand to deal with pedantic people pontificating on proper poultry palaver..... One fella even said a person couldn't breed if they didn't know the proper terminology.....and I asked how he had children, as I'm sure he didn't know the correct terminology on THOSE parts.

That made me snort! hahahaha But ya know... you could get rich off this wide spread ignorance. LOL ...I shouldn't talk about them like that. They can't help it, bless their hearts. LOL

Yes, bless their little hearts!

Southern for "why, aren't they just dumber than dirt?", said in a sweet southern twang.

Hey, guys....wanted to show you Mom's casket that we have turned into extra seating in the living room....we are having just too much fun with this thing, as folks seem to be very scared of a few pine boards formed into a box shape. My uncle actually backed away from it like it was going to jump up and rub some death on him.




And also wanted to show you my WR hen with her traction tape saddle.....

Bee, that is a beautiful seating arrangement! An amazing multi use piece of furniture. That traction saddle should be patented

I haven't been back to that thread either.............

Life is too short for small minded people like that to take up my time.
