UNPOPULAR OPINIONS! 🥴

That's how hatcheries deliver chicks......Sad, but very true....

Yes, it is true. I had two batches delivered spring of 2020. With hatcheries spread out all over the USA, it is the only way to get certain breeds. :-(

I wouldn't say healtgier, bit they are more chixkenlike faster. They don't have to learn as teenagers that a grasshopper isn't going to attack them

LOL! Yeah, 'attack' grasshoppers, 'attack' dried leaves, 'attack' windy days, etc.
I ended up putting some stuffed animals and a feather boa in with my hatchery chicks. Most of them ended up snuggling with the fake mommas. It seemed to make them lessed stressed.

Especially here. If I wanted birds, I would either have to drive over a day to get them or not get birds at all

I might do that next time

I'm thinking that's Ralphie with the skull and crossbones shirt and Havoc over there with the nifty mohawk.

Maybe? I don’t know... everyone north of Des Moines all look the same to me.

It is fun to look at how they changed from album to album... same great polka death metal sound, but they look like completely different people.

Are you sure? Looks like a coronavirus to me.

I think that's what he looks like until he has his peppermint schnapps or something... he explained it all earlier today.

It's logical & sensible, but I just can't. When chickens jump in your lap to nestle down for pets, knowing there are no treats...when they come over to visit, even though there are plenty of crickets to free range...when they actually pose cute for photos or do things daily that make me laugh & smile...when I look forward to my time with them...nope, these are my my fav "peeps" to hang with, I don't care who lays eggs or not. I look at it this way, how many people need a shrink, therapist, life coach or bartender...I don't need any of those, I got all the support, grateful & sympathetic ears I need right here.

Yeah. My chickens are pets; my therapist agrees that they're good for me.

What about stitching up a vent. By a vet no less. HMMMMMMM

STITCHING UP A VENT?!

 

[JacinLarkwell]

STITCHING UP A VENT?!

Due to prolapse I believe

Therein lies the problem, studies show over 98% of therapists are in need of therapy.
