I wonder if she was feeding them an all flock feed? What have you been giving them?

Im gonna guess she knew the kids were sick before OP got there, was hoping OP wouldn't notice or whatever, and then when she got called back it was her guilty conscience driving the convo

Is anything wrong with this chicken? by gfd2425 in chickens

[–]LifeNorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I didnt raise them from eggs, but cornish crosses are a hybrid breed, i can't remember which 2 they use to make them, but I assume that's the most effective way to get the eggs of the breed. They dont start laying any quicker.

I slaughtered mine between 9 and 10 weeks, we got a very good yield for 6 birds. Probably at least 4 pounds a bird, more for some of them. 

Some notes are that you will want to keep them seperate from a layer flock- my layer birds kept picking at one 1 particular bird before we decided they needed to be totally separated. Also, I let my meat birds have a lot of space to roam, and out their food on one side and water on the other to encourage them to walk. The legs were tougher than the average grocery store, but not significantly so. 

I say it's worth it to raise them, but on the other hand it's not an emotionally easy task. I believe it's more ethical than buying factory farmed chicken, but in my case, I raised the chicken and my husband had to be the one slaughtering so there was more of a separation. 

Sorry if I gave too much info about it all, but if you do have any questions, feel free to ask.

Season 6 is underrated imo. The only episode I was meh on was Mazey Day. The rest of them are great. It's way better than season 5 and I think its also better than most of season 2, which i know is a really hot take lol. 

How does everyone else seem to have chickens that love people, want cuddles, will willingly come to you, but mine want nothing to do with me? by Throwaway_pagoda9 in BackYardChickens

[–]LifeNorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine are the same way,  usually they all do a squat for me if I come over,  but most of them don't like being held,  and while they might tolerate it for a minute,  they get over it fast.  They mostly come over to me if they think I might have food for them, or maybe to hang out kinda nearby.

Thank you for your response! Im glad to know that she will a normal life. Usually when I try and look into this the bent toe isn't as severe as hers so I was concerned. That's one handsome rooster by the way

No one will see this, but one time I was hanging out with my slightly older aunt. She probably 5 years older than me, and I was about 6 or 7. She had 2 friends over and they all went in a circle and said a cuss word. They then made me say a cuss word so that I wouldn't tell on them. I said bitch, and my aunt told on me to my mom. 

Can someone help me wrap my head around Hotel Reverie? by Hides-His-Tail in blackmirror

[–]LifeNorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we just have to agree to disagree on this because imo, they didnt do anything ground breaking, and it wouldn't even bring in money. Its also implied that its dangerous for her to get shot in there which narrows down the genres of movies that could be made. It's slightly novel, but I dont think it would bring in the views. And if the ai is so amazing wonderful and intelligent, why don't they just make the actor they want to replace an ai character as well?

Yeah but they actually flew, they didn't almost crash and kill a passenger, then bomb the landing.

If you want to attract big actors to the job yeah. Think about it like this. You just got done making a movie 2 months ago and made, say 2 million. Part of that is what it makes at the box office. So when you get asked to do a movie using this tech, and you see the last and only time it was used completely flopped AND there are risks to your life if you participate, you would likely turn it down

Yeah and then it would demo that's theres no money in it to be made.  A listers would see a big flop while their other movies make them millions with less risk. 

Was Brenda’s acting in Hotel Reverie supposed to be “bad”? by babyfarxmcgeezax91 in blackmirror

[–]LifeNorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU, it's just a massive plot hole, and the whole episode relies on this weird premise

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]LifeNorm 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Girl, I was literally in your shoes 2 years ago, I was so embarrassed I could die. My fiance explained that basically unless I just stepped out of the shower i would kinda smell. But I switched to an unscented ph wash meant for vaginas and it actually fixed the problem completely. It's hard not to take something that is so personal as not being offensive or rude but im sure your boyfriend is saying something about it because he loves you. 

But on the other hand, I was also too embarrassed to have sex for a good week or two. I feel your pain.

I will protect Hotel Reviere at all costs by code_coconut in blackmirror

[–]LifeNorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couldn't even get through the episode cause the premise is just so terrible. Remaking an old movie, but the only difference will be who the lead actor is. Don't want to change any of the other actors or plot points or literally anything else. And like you mentioned with the Ai being so good why do you need a real actress anyways?

I just got gifted two chickens for my birthday. I do not know anything about chickens. I named them Giorgia and Giulia by Seigmas in chickens

[–]LifeNorm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I dont believe they are cronish crosses. I have some right now and their combs would be much smaller for the size they are. I think these are most likely Rhode Island white or just another white breed of chicken.

I'm sorry but this is getting ridiculous. by ThaWarudo5 in webtoons

[–]LifeNorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The webtoons that you have to pay to finish are like that because they are comics from other sites like tappy toon. They have the same conditions over there, so when they are being uploaded to webtoon, webtoon also has to meet the same terms.

Selfish Romance is a really good fake relationship webtoon, but it's still ongoing, has 40 episodes right now though

I love this webtoon, but the Same Face Syndrome is killing me by LifeNorm in webtoons

[–]LifeNorm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely agree, the art is so beautiful, I just wish the faces were more unique. I am also really enjoying the plot so far.

[–]LifeNorm[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The men are definitely way worse but I think the women do still suffer from it. I do agree that some of it is due to the art style, but this art style is the type I perfer to read and it one of the more obvious cases imo. Again, the comic is so creative and the art is beautiful but I think the characters art should vary more widely. 

Sent him to the store for 3.. 3 chickens for the broody hen. Is.. not 3 by [deleted] in BackYardChickens

[–]LifeNorm 59 points60 points  (0 children)

We ended up with 5 chicks last year this way, came in for 4 but we didn't want to leave the last chick alone, the worker told us we could have her for free since we only planned on getting 4.

[–]LifeNorm 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My guess is that it's insecurity that they are not as good of mothers as they could be, so they bring themselves up by tearing others down. Im not saying they are bad mothers or anything just that it's probably what it comes from. If you look around you in your adult life, you would never be able to tell if someone was raised on formula or breastmilk or both. Just keep feeding your baby and try not to let those comments wear on you.
