@ozexpat I was just looking at some of your pics on your diary thread and I see you put in automatic water for some chicks.
Do you have that blue pvc hooked up to a hose or a bucket or what and is that a shut off with the red handle?

I bought the pvc and nipples and drink cups and want to set up some simple system so when we go on vacation I wont have to worry about the birds not being watered.

Even with auto water system, someone needs to check them to make sure they are working. I have had them fail on me.

I had no idea peafowl were so expensive. I was just looking on some auction websites and came across 4 peahens and 1 peacock. Someone has bid $1,100

Ever wonder what happens when one gets hit with a rubber bullet?





Warning!

Now that looks painful

My thoughts are that, if one is not healthy, a wound like that could become infected and without access to healthcare, could be deadly.

Ouch that does look painful. I know rubber bullets are "non-lethal" but I didn't imagine they would leave such a huge bruise. Wow, I hope things really calm down. The situation is turning into some kind of frenzy and no one is benefiting from it but the looters.

If it hits the right (or wrong, really) spot, sure. A direct chest hit could probably stop a heart. At some point the same principal as with killing small animals with a shotgun blast must apply too, it's the shock effect the kills in that case, not the wounds.
