Weird things only poultry people get.

Aw, I'm sorry. I haven't had to go through a breakup yet, as I haven't tried to look for a boyfriend, but it sounds like a very hard thing to deal with.
Have another couple of hugs:
Good luck! I hope that you feel better soon.

Thank you. It was on good terms, it was obvious she was into one of her male coworkers and I decided it would be best if I let her do what made her happy.

Yum store eggs are the best. The store lays the eggs, that’s what makes them special.

The Amount of people who actually feel that way is nuts.

I have a friend who is an upper class old southern lady sort of person. She visited me and went out to see the chickens. One squatted in front of me and she said- Isn't that sweet, she wants you to pet her. I could not bring myself to tell her what the chicken was actually signaling.

You should have. People need to have their sensibilities torn apart for the good of us all and future generations.

When you have a small flock that you treat like pets, it is boring when you can’t cuddle them.

I understand but that isn't me - in any way, shape or form.

You’re hardcore. Please, teach me the tricks of the trade. Although to be fair, I do usually explain the chickens squatting unless I am talking to a three-year-old.

That sounds great. So many poor cockerels won’t die right after they are hatched, they will just never exist.

I'll miss all the green eggs...

I had to save these two pins because I do it all the time. I'm not ashamed.

Here's my dad's favorite comment to his chickens as he was washing out the water bowls, "You watch what I'm doing, then you can do it yourself next time."

And his second favorite, to curious chickens or rabbits getting in the way, "What do you think, am I doing this right?"

Always the school teacher!

New story:

I was locking up my chickens for the night when my neighbors came over. They watched me and just stared at the roost bar the chickens sleep on. Then one of them said this: “ Where are their beds? Why are you forcing them to sleep on the stick? Isn’t that animal abuse?”




I just laughed a bit and finished locking the birds up. I then sent them a link for an article about why chickens roost. I didn’t want to waste my time explaining it.
