You don't aggravate me Robo. I read your ramblings and every night I'm thankful you're not my husband.

That's just hurtful.
 


Not even sure how to go about doing that. She had an injury(from falling) when she was 8-9 weeks old and never walked the same after that. A few weeks ago she stopped walking completely. Thought it was curled toe paralysis, gave polyvisol and she perked up and was walking better than she had been albeit with a limp. I'm thinking she died from exhaustion/ heat or from whatever ailed her a few weeks ago.

Do you know how much it is to send her off? Or who I would contact?

I have found that I can't equate keeping livestock (chickens in this instance) with keeping pets like dogs or cats. First of all, they die. Chickens have all sorts of hindrances to survival; for example, today a red tailed hawk killed a couple of my free ranging birds. Keep your birds as you see fit and love them for what they are, a very important form of livestock.

A lot of my poultry friends want to make pets out of these birds, but they are not pets, they are livestock.

My chickens are most definitely kept as pets. I only have two standard laying hens, the rest are tiny bantams which hardly qualify as "livestock". Sure they produce very small tasty eggs occasionally but not with any regularity and they certainly are not meat birds. They also have a safe fenced play yard just like my dogs do to prevent accidents and predators.

You can think of YOUR chickens as livestock but that has nothing to do with my "pets".

I ate a couple of eggs and they are DELISH but I dont even want to eat the eggs thats why I wany to breed. I only have 2 laying chickens one is broody what would be the point to sell one carton of small eggs every 12 days? (My cochin lays every other day it seems untill the end of her clutchI might see two eggs in one day but that would be alot of waiting to sell some eggs) I suppose when I run out of store bought eggs (I buy 5 dozen a month the big box) I might eat the ones I pull from my frizzle but really I dont want to. Am I weird?
 
At the airport getting ready to go to Alaska! Will miss my chickens! Oh, and my husband! Lol. But seriously, am so thankful for him to be tAking care of the homefront while I am gone!
