UNPOPULAR OPINIONS! 🥴

[shawluvsbirds]

My unpopular opinions:

1. Chickens that can't survive free range around predators should be culled unless they have a purpose as a pet in a cage, like domesticated parrots or finches.

2. Along the lines of #1, the U.S. backyard chicken keeping culture and the concept of the Fort Knox coop has greatly damaged the free-range survivability of many breeds.

3. Game breeds should be present on every farm that has the room to let them free range.

4. (Unpopular with gamefowl keepers), the tie and cord system is about as damaging to gamefowl as the coop system is for traditional duel purpose breeds. Gamefowl should generally be raised as they were 150 years ago, free range in the woods. Only a few individuals should be pulled off the flock and kept separate with limited mobility.

5. Eggs in an incubator should only be turned twice a day.

6. The poultry show standards of perfection sometimes do more harm than good by selecting for arbitrary traits that don't practically improve the breed.

7. Chicken lives really don't matter in the grand scheme of things and there's few animals on earth more disposable than a chicken.

Anyone I haven't offended?

Another wall of text. I can't read all that.
I must have a short attention span.

I like the sounds guineas make all day long

I rather enjoy guinea noises, too. The females can get repetitive and the males can get annoying, but I do like them, and I especially like their cute little whistles and twitters.

I love listening to poultry though. I could probably fall asleep to it

Another one, I love roosters! I love how they watch over and care for the hens, I feel much safer with them guarding my flock. They are handsome and I like their crowing.

And this may seem odd, but I like the challenge of training a rooster to get along with me. I have only dealt with one nasty OEGB roo who refused to get along with me even after a year and a half of consistent training, let's just say that with him, my days were never plain.

Now there's an unpopular opinion.
I doubt roosters really do that much to protect your hens.

I’m done with the topic. It’s a bit stupid at this point.

Really? Already I just noticed this mess.

I got tired of hearing the same thing over and over again. That, and the lengthy posts.

Right?
And here I said earlier what a good sport she was.

It was a boring topic. It has to be interesting And I need to hear different stuff to argue with.
