UNPOPULAR OPINIONS! 🥴

Can I see some pictures of your roosters? I just want to see some cool looking roosters

I think you have a crucial spelling error in this.

I thought that was an intentional misspelling.
I'm sure that's what hot dogs are made of anyway.

Only the best for my family!

It just gets funnier and funnier the more I think about it.

It was very intentional. We were cracking ourselves up!

Very nice looking birds! Thanks!

Here's one more for tonight:

Free ranging isn't the best thing ever. Sure most birds like it and it's convenient that they can eat something other than feed and poop somewhere not underfoot (unless they discover the porch XD)

But I have some bantams that are more than content living cooped up all day. Possibly my least bickering group. Plus they're safest out of all the birds I own.

I have 2 groups of free range and 4 smaller confined groups and I have to say I don't think the 2 larger, freer ones are completely better than the other 4.

I debate that every night.

I agree. I installed hardware cloth underground for a reason. I check that all doors and latches are secure. That and had an unfortunate heat related incident due to the door being closed. That will never happen again.

Silkies look like toilet brushes with legs.

lol. Too funny.

Unpopular opinion: I like hot dogs

Sometimes, they just hit the spot!! Ballpark Angus dogs are one of my faves on the grill or over the fire.



Here’s my unpopular opinion:

chickens don’t, as a rule, need 4sqft inside and 10+sqft outside per bird. Sure space helps! And in harsher climates (cold, stormy, etc) they will benefit from more indoor space, And there is a point when it’s simply too small of a space, or too bare -nothing to scratch, etc.

I've got a (maybe ball park, not exactly sure) 7x8 pen I keep my bantam Cornish in and another I keep my small naked neck flock in before I redo their permanent home that is larger and they're more than content without it being the '14 foot minimum for completely confined birds'

Unpopular opinion:
‘Man crushes’ are complicated and sometimes a long list of unpopular opinions aren’t about what they appear to be

I feel like this one might need some explanation so stay with me here...But there’s a little froggy at the end of the story if you make it through

So sometimes a guy will sorta admire another fella from afar, and lurk around in the shadows watching, listening, and maybe reading what that other fellas is doing and saying...

but then after a while the lurker kinda starts to resent that other fella because that other fella has something he wishes he had...

maybe that something is a physical thing, like maybe it’s a yard full of roosters, and maybe sometimes it’s something like that other fella’s knowledge, experience, confidence or standing in a community... but maybe it’s all of that...

And then sometimes that lurking guy lets that all eat at him until he starts imagining himself taking on the fella that he’s envious and resentful of, until all the lurking and scheming and imaginary confrontations, give him some confidence...

So the lurker takes this new found confidence and gathers up a few unpopular opinions that have nothing to do with much of anything, and then he slips in a couple more unpopular opinions that he thinks might get that other fella’s attention too, and he puts all of that into a list...

So then the lurker scratches up the courage to wade in and do a little shuffling and showing off, hoping that he might catch the eye of the fella he’s come to envy, resent and yet still admire...

And when that lurker bursts on to the scene at first it’s chaos and folks can’t quite figure out why this lurker is acting a fool and causing trouble and wanting to fight, where before there had been just some folks having fun...

But then there’s a third fella who watched all the chaos with some fascination about why the lurker would act with such foolishness ...

This third fella by the way is a handsome devil with a lovely wife and two cats and a turkey

One of the handsome fella’s cats woke him up at four in the morning and as he was making coffee, the handsome fella had a moment of clarity and realized that what had happened was the lurker was really just putting on a display for the fella that he had admired but had come to envy and resent. And that is why the lurker wrote a list of unpopular opinions and barged in acting a fool and wanting to argue with strangers.

The moral of this long story is that sometimes a frog wants to be a rooster so bad it causes him to create some havoc.
