He knows where eggs comes from lol, he just has odd takes (which I completely disagree with) on certain foods. Main one I can think of offhand is he likes mash potatos but only the instant ones out of a box, he hates homemade
You can't make a hen go broody, either she will or she won't. As for putting her back outside, do the see but no touch method for slowly introducing her back to the flock
That chewy didn't send the wrong feed, easy mistake IG the packaging does look almost the same and I didn't even notice until I was filling the feeders and the pellets looked smaller than usual. Thankfully chewy customer support was really helpful (and I got a human right away without needing to...
Also to clarify the person in question is my father who lives with me. The eggs from the girls he won't touch unless I make him some but he will buy and use store brought eggs himself
Most of the birds are laying now and we have a fair bit of eggs, why are you buying store brought eggs? We have fresh eggs laid by happy healthy hens some of which lay eggs larger than the ones you're buying yet you prefer the store brought eggs? Welp

I have 2 cats and feed several stray and ferals, all are hunters and all are afraid of the birds.
You will need to keep young chicks away (especially bantams) but few cats will mess with an adult bird, especially if said birds have grown up around cats and aren't afraid of them. Just keep the...
I found a recipe for a dish I never tried but have heard of before and I have the ingredients for - Welsh rarebit. For those unaware, Welsh rarebit is toast with a cheese sauce on it. It's usually made with beer but I found one without. Despite the name there is no rabbit in it
Also glad for...
Dude, you severely overreacted to a non issue, he tried reaching out and you wouldn't say what was wrong and now you're butthurt. What do you want? We can't read your mind and you were in the wrong with how you reacted. I don't even know....
I'm more advocating for a break rather than permanent abstinence. Sure, knowing what is going on to a certain degree is important but taking a break is important too especially if it's negatively affecting your mental health
Well said! My thoughts exactly! We should do what we can but making...
