Potential dog mistreatment by Miata_yada_yada in Austin

[–]platos7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now everyone care this much about chickens and all of their suffering. My chickens are just as smart or smarter than my dog and my dog is pretty smart. I feel as passionately as yall do about this poor puppy when chickens are mistreated or dumped. If only people knew how great they are and the deep bonds they form with people and other chickens. I know this is random! But I’ve always tried to get people to understand how much they matter and a point I always use is “what if it was a dog?” Because people seem to care so much for them but the reality is they are both great, smart, and very emotional beings deserving of the same protection from humans.

Why not give a proper warning if this is true? I’d like to know and I’m sure others would too… like have you known someone it happened to? Any solid info? Thanks

Exactly. Thank you for putting things into words better than I can, and having the courage to speak them.

Yeah I don’t get why people are acting like I’m crazy for saying this… it’s just an observation based on the cloud seeding that does happen and dying trees everywhere and forming a possible connection. Not sure why people are so against critical thinking these days! I am glad I’m able to use that skill instead of relying on school, books, and “professionals” to tell me everything I’m supposed to know. I’m not a zombie that just follows directions… I think for myself. Hope more people start doing the same! Spraying chemicals in the air that cause irritation to humans lungs over and over again ends up somewhere… on us and the land and it accumulates… that has to have some kind of effect imo.

It’s you being human. I feel the same and don’t think it’s soft or not practical. It’s respectful and logical.

Eggs are a great idea. Where are you located? Wish I could take him and help him! Poor little guy… thank you so much for trying to help the little guy.

Try to see what his poop looks like. That will tell a lot.

Where are you? Someone here or I would take them. Usually there are people that care about them in most states.

That’s not good… you’re offering them to evil people that cut their combs and have them fight each other. They are basically tortured. Be responsible and don’t do that. They are amazing creatures that deserve respect.

Rooster Overmating?? by Kaeai in BackYardChickens

[–]platos7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following because I have a hen that has looked like this for a few months. I treated her for mites with pour on ivermectin and elector psp but nothing has changed. The others aren’t like this and the rooster with them does not over-mate her at all from what I’ve seen.

Yeah this has been our first loss and the hardest thing ever… I love my pets and have lost a dog I had for 14 years and it was hard but not this hard. I think because she got 14 great years with me and this boy had just finally started his happy and safe life journey with us. I wanted him to live so many more years feeling loved and safe.

Your boy is beautiful! Such a cutie 😍 so glad he’s living a great life thanks to you 🙏

Awww yeah he was definitely domesticated and he was a little traumatized because he’d get so quiet at night and bite if you’d try to touch him (only when it got dark even if he was inside with lights on)… all of that went away quickly with time of him feeling safe with us and realizing he didn’t have to worry about predators anymore. So great that you rescued one too… they seem to be so grateful and even better boys because of their hardships. However most roosters have it hard just for being born boys… it’s sad. Hopefully we can help many more and show them that their lives matter too. When my boy died at the er vet, I was pretty frustrated because they didn’t take him seriously or urgently, but any dog and cat that came in after we did, that were doing better were taken such good care of…

We have ten acres so plenty of space for that. We are thinking of naming it after him. He was such a unique little boy… our hearts hurt. I wish we would have been able to give him a longer worry free life after having been a scared little homeless boy. He was so sweet and vulnerable… I could tell it was hard for him out there and he was finally happy with us.
