Where roosters come to be loved.....not baked.

haha, IF ONLY!!!!!!!!!  I love that roosters have all the tail feathering and sickle feathers, they are just so lovely and their feathers are always more shiny, it's so unfair.lol.

WOW, 40 I have half that and am struggling.

But I thought you just said you had Mareks? Why bring more chickens in and they could become ill. Also I thought you couldn't eat infected birds?

 

You can totally eat infected birds. It's a chicken disease... Totally harmless to people. I wouldn't eat one that was super riddled with rumors, but have seen no such thing. I started with 12 and 2 had to be culled... No other sick or symptomatic birds... The chicks out if the same brood that the 2 died are now laying and everything is doing great. The birds that die or have to be culled will die or be culled, and I will be left with the unaffected birds. And all future chicks will be bred from birds that were unaffected, so on and so forth. Chickens die constantly...just read these boards. But I got 26 chicks last months and everyone of them is doing perfect...so diseased my chickens might be, but they seem to be better at surviving than a lot of others. All chickens are going to come into contact with marek's at one time or another...I'll just know up front if I have one of the birds that if gets exposed will die...do I think there will be losses? Yes, do I think it will be a huge number? No...so I'm going to keep on rolling those dice...I have had 0 issue with any illness or disease after the 2 that were culled...so apparently the other chickens are impervious...a good bit of these chicks will be too.. And if there aren't any losses in these chicks to something that appears to be marek's then perhaps it wasn't even what the 2 had that we culled...but I'm expecting some paralysis to start popping up in about a month and a half with the new chicks.

We women got lucky if you ask me. In most species the males are the pretty looking ones and the females are pretty plain. Peafowl are a great example of this. Cardinals, robins, quail, with mammals you've got lions with their big bushy manes. I know there's others but my sleepy brain won't work. No new pics thanks do a dead.phone yesterday and the weather today

I think we might have gotten the short end of the stick...we women are beautiful to attract a mate, that will mostly be plain...I would rather be plain with the flashy mate any day...I think it's unfair that we have to be flashy while our men are boring...do you think roosters feel the same? Like darnit I'm tired of strutting when you can't even molt some nice feathers in...

Lmao! Never thought of it that way. I guess we could *try* to convince our men to throw on some make up, jewelry, and a skirt that hugs just right.... but that would be just wrong! And anyways, its the "flashy" guys I've learned to stay away from.... to high maintenance!

 

[missnu01]

I wouldn't mind a guy that fixed their hair or took some time with their appearance...I mean at least a little...tired of men, they're just yuck...again boring... Throw some glitter on and lets go!
