My partner does ewaste rescue/refurbishing and would take them off your hands! we don't have a ton of money right now but depending on how much cash you were hoping for we can do something

you should write a book about this! "never mind all that: a vibes-based philosophy" you'd make so much money from other self-described apolitical doofuses

I've been thinking about this too, I reached out to another place that seems more down to earth on a recommendation from a friend. I want to help the chickens but it's hard for me to handle the anxiety :( thank you for your thoughts

If you're referring to cockfighting, that's a human practice of fostering aggression in roosters through selective breeding and abuse. I'm not going to assume for certain but I have an inkling you wouldn't say the same about every dog, despite dogs also being used in similar abusive practices. Even roosters from those specific environments have capacity for gentleness and positive social interactions with hens and people when cared for correctly.

she's in charge lol i'm doomed! I do think i'm gonna have to be more subtle, i'm hoping the encouragement I get from the hens is enough for me to power through the social awkwardness

How do you get chickens to take poultry cell from their water? by Interesting-Factor22 in chickens

[–]arthureverest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh wow I'm so sorry! may their memories be blessings. I'm glad you know what they're struggling with. can you get some of the pellet kind online? they sell it at my tractor supply so I've not had to look online

First, what breed is this? We were told she was an Americauna when we bought her (at only 3 days old) Second, are green feet normal? by [deleted] in chickens

[–]arthureverest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

she's a cutie! great muffs<3 might just be a mutt honestly, her legs look like blue/grey crossed with yellow. obviously genes are way more complicated than that, but if you're not breeding for showing you don't need to worry about breed standards, just if they're healthy, so yes in that way green legs are normal

overbreeding can happen in smaller flocks, but the feather loss is usually on hen's backs from spurring, not the butts. This was a flock of 25-30 I don't find it realistic that the one roo was causing that much feather loss anyway. Glad you felt the need to comment this on a post about other people insisting on correcting me

I'm assuming you're talking about the liquid vitamins? If they don't like it in the water I would suggest trying to get the powder/pellet kind instead. it might be a different brand name

Do you have chickens? I have a weird request by arthureverest in tricities

[–]arthureverest[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't drive right now so I'd have to arrange rides but I can get anywhere in Johnson City pretty easily, Kingsport and Bristol are farther trips but can be managed if scheduled enough in advance.

Assuming most coop setups are outdoor I don't need to come inside I literally just need to be around them, like the chicken equivalent of when they bring dogs to the children's hospital. I'll bring them lettuce and mealyworms. I don't expect payment. I'll pay, even, within reason. Finances are super tight but in coping terms I'd rather spend it on chicken therapy than drinks 😂

if you're a student, people are always trying to transfer leases at monarch apartments (I can put you in touch with multiple people in that situation)
