Weird things only poultry people get.

Apparently if you store your fertile hatching eggs at 40 degrees (IDK how long) all the male embryos will die out. Tempted to breed some sex-links now...

Fallacy.

You need hugs of course, because you are human. Chickens aren't human. They evolved without hugs and conflating poultry needs and behaviors with those of humans will lead to problems.

True , but my chickens don’t seem to mind too much when I scoop them up and sit them on the couch with them.

To each his own. Mine would scream bloody murder.

To each his own. Mine would scram bloody murder.

Mine scream bloody murder when I turn off the tv, to each his own.

Which of you said cockerels don't lay eggs? Misinformation!

I knew they laid green eggs!

Here's one of mine: Last year, I was reading a book called How to Speak Chicken. Someone looks at me and in the most condescending tone possible, says, So, how do you speak chicken? I say, "bawk."

LOL, I bought the same book. My friends think I'm nuts anyway- have a Crazy Chicken Lady magnet on my car.

Okay. In all seriousness, roosters don't go broody... right?

They DO go broody. Bud, my Belgian Bierfrauchikken, once sat on a six pack of Duvel for 21 days.

Some memes I "created" with pics of my chickens.

Cherie and Jenny (cockerels, Minibar and Heihei) as four-day old chicks.

Onyx photobombing. She's my big girl and pecks pretty hard.

I have the T shirt- my niece thought it expressed my personality

I saw chicken feet at my supermarket once, and one of the feet had bumblefoot.

That's why I stop eating at the ankles.

I'm really struggling with how many people want to hug their chickens. Y'all BYC people sure are different. I've always been a farmer. we don't hug or kiss chickens.

Once your chicken seeds start sprouting, you can't help but hug and kiss the little fuzzballs.
