I agree wholeheartedly. These women are nuts.



When you have her committed, can I have her chickens and coops?

What a cutie pie! I think I may have to put my old boy down soon.  He's dropped a lot of weight very recently. Not good but what do you expect at 30?

Oh I'm so sorry. Winter was not kind this year to begin with..

Alright now, "Chicken Checker"!!

Do I even want to ask how one puts a chick down?

Put it in a ziplock bag and stick it in the freezer.

I started to suspect my blue ameraucauna chick was male and posted pix on here. Others said look at the comb and look for three rows of vertical peas instead of just one. Sho 'nough the chick has 3 vertical rows, having said that it was not easy to tell and my little Dominique of the same age has a wide flat comb that could be interpreted as multiple rows but I am sure that chick is female because of the dark feathering.

See the three faint rows on the blue below at 5 weeks:

Even if the three faint rows weren't there, that comb is awfully red for a five-week-old pullet. So yes, it's almost definitely a roo.

How is that for clean-up? Trying to figure out how that would work...

The playpens are mostly waterproof anyway. Just take all of the chicks out, hose it out, and leave it in the sun for a bit to dry up.

@mrsdszoo do you and @ChickDancer want to go to Buggy Town Auction Friday? I've got 6 bunnies to sell but don't want to go by myself.

Gotta be up at 5am for work Saturday

So? You don't need to sleep! You need to come by chickens. Hahahahaha!!!!

In this case, we're going to give it to my huge over-grown nephew and have him step on it. I hate the idea of drowning, and breaking the neck of a tiny chick might be too difficult, since it may still be flexible like a human baby's would. But I want to do something quick and painless, so squishing may be the answer here.
