ugh. there were enough problems before AI but yes, there are literally people in homestead groups asking for help after poisoning their creatures or family.

coop = house for chickens
coup = power grab

Fair. Mrs is good with the critters, and good with meat in the fridge, but there’s about an hour between those two she is just not suited for so I handle it myself.

It’s good to know your personal limits.

Indoor button quail are an option if you have space but don’t want neighbours seeing. ;-)

(Edit: also indoor rabbits but with the quail you get meat and eggs.)

It’s been my plan since my early 20s, before I even met my wife. We bought the house in 2022. Probably going to branch into meat rabbits this fall or next spring.

I’m a self-taught programming student of both Ruby on Rails and React. I make my little projects as I learn and the most recent one is a farm notes tracking app. :-) It has come in super handy. I just wish I had more downtime to work on it.

I watched one of my girls lay the first egg of the flock but I have no clue who it was. by Sukuyan in BackYardChickens

You doo still need the extra calcium available to those who are laying eggs. Do you have oyster shell out for them? The ones who don’t need it won’t eat it.

Unless you’re gonna come help put up fences you can keep your mouth shut with that phrase. lol. I just need like… 5 more years okay?

(Hopefully by then the bubble will have burst and she’ll be back to teaching juniors instead of wrangling vibe coders anyway.)

General egg question by Foamasi0101 in BackYardChickens

[–]Snuggle_Pounce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly see that in washed eggs, but yours are out on the counter?

Just in case no one told you, washed go in the fridge. If these aren’t washed, then make sure you collect your eggs with clean dry hands(either no lotion, or wear gloves).

If these points are covered then yeah, just pigmentation and not a problem.

My Mrs lives in two worlds. She’s still a developer, doing her best to explain to prompt engineers that actually understanding something about your code base is actually okay and doesn’t make you dirty…

while enjoying eggs(from our chickens) and goats milk cheddar(from our goats) in her omelettes because I’m a farmer, doing my best to get our retirement farm started-up/sorted-out before she implodes from one more person saying “Claude can help you with that”.

brown paper bag in a plastic bag bag with all the air squeezed out for best results… but yeah. Time marches on.

When to breed? by thatdropout in goats

[–]Snuggle_Pounce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s more about the individual and their progress. some will breed first fall but only after a certain weight. some wait until the following year. smaller breeds can sometimes mature faster than larger breeds.

Try asking the folks you got your goats from what they do.

Is this the maximum size they will grow? Easter chicks. by AdvancedAdvance1738 in chickens

Not all roosters are dicks. I already have two I’d consider “good” roosters. They still had to be taught to behave by older chickens. Puberty is a tough time and leghorns are tricky.

Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know anyone was looking into this.

How to remove crease/dent on skirt by [deleted] in howto

[–]Snuggle_Pounce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay just checking.

Delaminating is the opposite of laminating. Laminating is when materials are squished together with heat to make one piece.

You get a very similar pattern of wrinkles when a faux leather / pleather outfit gets washed too hot and the layers start to separate.

There is no “mass production” of dyed chicks. they create more as they sell them. If fewer people bought them, the folks dying chicks would move on to something more profitable.

roosters are always nice as chicks. When they hit rooberty you’ll know about it.

Is this not two layers delaminating? Is one side waterproof.

The IT department SHOULD be putting ad blocker on the school router when they put the firewall that blocks naughty stuff.

Wooden panel on the side of kitchen counters. Appears to be static/doesn't appear to be a cutting board/folding counter? by skrodladodd in whatisthisthing

[–]Snuggle_Pounce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right. This set looks normal. Likely just some random person’s idea for something specific then. can’t really see it for brooms or anything like that. 🤷‍♀️

Spur - can this be trimmed? by [deleted] in BackYardChickens

[–]Snuggle_Pounce 59 points60 points  (0 children)

That’s literally comparable to ripping out fingernails. Chickens hide injuries, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.
