Weird things only poultry people get.

Every time I come on the Forum I learn a new way that I am really woefully ignorant of all things chicken! I didn't even know that chickens HAD earlobes.

Your not alone. I wonder how many people have repeated my DH's comment to people, White chickens=white eggs, brown chickens=brown eggs when he clearly knows that's not true.

Some pretty cool earlobes I found here on BYC. View attachment 2427288Almost luminous yellow.

I think they are just crying out for a little teeny pair of dangle earrings?

That reminds me.

A friend had two pairs of earrings on once.
A chicken, and an arrow.
The arrows were pointing towards the chickens, so I made her take the arrow earrings off.

I’ve been told free ranging is only when you have your chickens out in the fields fending for themselves. If you have a coop or any kind of yard it’s not free ranging.

My response: “we call that ‘predator buffet’; I don’t recommend it.”

My BS meter was already full for the day.

If they would do a little research first they would know what "Cage Free, Free Range and Pastured" really mean. I have cage free,free ranged/pastured my birds years ago but lost too many to predators but now they have big pens and I haven't heard any complaints.
