Things you wish you could say

I couldn't get past the taste either. A goat-owning friend gave me a couple of quarts to make yogurt. It was awful, to my taste. Sorry, goats.

It sound likes there is hot weather issue at the moment.
Over here it is cold, windy, rain, and cold.

I would love to have some of your spring warm weather and I will send you some of my wet, windy, cold winter weather. If that is possible we will all be so happy

Nope. You can keep that crap. I love the heat

Yeah

Did you read the whole thing?

I read the whole thing. Still not clear. The hens broke in? Or they were grown out in the brooders to adulthood?

Do they separate their milking does from their bucks? Or are they all ran together? And what breed? It actually makes a difference. I have a production dairy goat herd which is why I know

They managed to crab trap themselves in the brooder, meaning they got in but couldn't get out. I was poking fun of people who raise chicks to ridiculous ages in brooders.

Honestly, bc of the context of the thread - to me it read like this was an actual post you had posted screenshots of over here Which had me reeling bc I was like, "OMG, why on earth did they leave them so long in the brooders and I couldn't tell if the poor chick stuck in the feeder was dead or alive!!"

True story, my neighbor had my niece clean out her cages and brooders a few months ago. My niece runs in frantic with a plastic quail feeder. The ones the size of a gallon jar with the little PVC piece along the bottom. She hands it to me and asks me to help. I open it to find a literal pile of bodies inside the feeder many dead and some still barely clinging to life. It was the middle of the summer, they were soaked from condensation from being crammed in the feeder for God knows how long and had literally suffocated each other trying to climb out. I counted 15 bodies inside it and was only able to revive 4. I will never use one of those style feeders ever. It was Terrible.

Which is why when I saw your photo of the chick, it was not that far fetched bc Ive seen some things

I wish I could go next door and ask my neighbour if he is a Vampire. He only ever mows, chainsaws, weed wacks after 8pm.

WTHeck is he thinking?! How annoying, and rude. Who can enjoy the evening listening to that noise.

I hope my 3 rooster crow up a storm at 4am…. Oh, wait, ya they do I am up then and out to the barn, lights on animals to be fed.

Crow babies crow! Only problem is they are inside the barn, so they don’t hear them next door.

Not to argue...but really how is either situation any less annoying? You up at 4 a.m with the roosters or the neighbors at 8pm doing lawn work From my perspective broth situations could be disturbing someone relaxing/sleeping so how is it any different?

Btw- I'm genuinely asking for perspective not trying to be difficult

I would have said if she was dead or simply not posted a picture .
That's bizarre about those quail, poor things.

“This post is 5 years old and your post makes no sense but “

That’s what I would like to say.

What does it matter if a post is old? If it's relevant then we rather topics and questions be grouped together in one thread instead starting a new one

I only ask bc I research the archives a lot And sometimes have questions relevant to old posts and the content within them. Maybe you are talking about me digging up old threads

It was. I'm not sure why they did that. They climbed in through the feeder ports in the bottom and got stuck in the plastic jar and just kept going in. The porta were elbow shaped so I'm not sure how in the world they even did it but they definitely did.
