Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 It seems people, mostly your urban types, are putting in chicken coops in the hope that they will be able to have cheap eggs. Of course unless you’re selling eggs you won’t be saving a dime, due to the cost of keeping chickens. Now the local chicken rescue sanctuary (who knew there was such a thing?) is worried that they’ll be inundated with rescue chickens when people realize they aren’t saving money and can’t handle the maintenance. And I thought, “Turn your chickens over the the chicken sanctuary? Don’t you have a recipe book?”.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Chicken cops? apparently millions of chickens were slaughtered because the flocks were infested with avian flu.
Alpo Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Chicken cops? I thought those were the guys that stood around outside the school, waiting for backup and orders, while the students inside were being shot.
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 there is an ordnance in town to prevent the keeping of chickens , but it is not enforced , unless , ya have riled. up certain groups I doubt , most folks under 40 , know , how to clean a bird anymore CB I find lots of fethers and remains over the hill from predation
Cypress Sun Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Oh great...chicken cops now. Probably wearing leg spurs to aid in the beat down of the chickens of the lesser coops.

Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 IF ya got a big enough turkey burner , ya could get the water hot enough to pluck the bird CB
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Our town is considering letting anyone with a half acre lot or larger have up to 10 hens (no roosters). I have a half acre lot and I don't want any damned chickens next door, nor any other farm animas(dogs and cat excluded). This is coming for the IN-migrants from California who are infesting us over the last couple of years. Next they'll be wanting to put large hotels in our residential neighborhoods! OH, WAIT!!! They are already doing that thanks to our realtor mayor and his friends.
Subdeacon Joe Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Not unlike growing tomatoes. Most expensive way to get $3.89 worth of tomatoes.

Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 I do pretty well with tomatos , squah , peppers and cukes as long as I "relocate" the coons , possoms , and ground hogs CB give away several bushels of produce , to folks that need em , through out the growing season

The chickens, steaks, and chops we cook all come from the store. I don't think this is remarkable. After all, we don't think they are made there.....

Ended it with she couldn't understand why we have to kill cattle when we can just buy steak at the grocery instead of harming innocent animals.

The actual slaughtering and otherwise preparing animals for food doesn't compute for them. These are the same people who think that they are saving the planet by driving electric cars because electricity comes from an outlet, not coal fired power plants.
Trigger Mike Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 I sure was glad I had laying chickens during the virus when eggs were hard to find. Unfortunately my current flock is not laying like it should so come spring I will replace them with more birds. my old hens had stopped laying after the virus so I set them free to roam the yard and eat bugs and we just found a hidden nest of 14 large eggs with super yellow yoke. Wonderful treat.
watab kid Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 i for one am not gonna raise chickens for eggs but if i did i could clean one for the pot/pan - id rather clean a pheasant tho , we have a nice lady that lives close enough that has layers and provides eggs , a half acre is not enough property for chickens and what it takes to care for them , im on 2 1/2 and my lots too small , this whole deal with suddenly food shortages are following rising fuel prices and shipping issues as well as our current labor shortages in this unemployment that along with the constant printing of money and telling us inflation does not exist is all part of what we voted in , a bunch of lies and changes to our way of life by folks flying around in private jets telling us oiur stoves are causing climate change , really ? is this what we wanted ? just askin ............im callin BS

watab kid Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 and ill not disagree with you , i think so too , but we still got what they wanted and this country is in a downhill slide because of it , it will take a lot to correct the damage done , ive not seen this since carter , we got out of that but im too old to see that change happen again ,
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 We've had layer chickens for 25 years. Feed has jumped in price the last couple of years. We've raised Cornish cross meat chickens several times and butchered them. Really great on the bbq. But for soups you are better off with the older layers or "spent hens".
Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Posted February 7, 2023 I thought it was a Merriam's. Then I thought maybe a Rio Grande. But I believe it is in fact, a Jive Turkey.
PowderRiverCowboy Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Well the Chicken Cops need to stop being brutal to chickens
