Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

[Mother of Chaos]

My Avian Ecology class () has an 8 am outdoor lab on Fridays.

So with a Thursday overnight low of 13°, the 8 am temp should have rocketed up to, I dunno, 17° or so?

Whew:

All I'm asking is for people to be careful of their use of adverbs in particular, have knowledge of the dictionary definition of the words they use in mind because that is what most of us will understand the word to mean and be honest in their reporting.

There is a lot of useful information on this thread and I really don't want people reading the posts that are not honest portrayals of their chickens behaviour and leaving feeling inadequate because their chickens are not the angels a misleading post may suggest.

Hypocrisy is the word that springs to mind.

I consider myself to be as honest as the day is long, and your imputation to the contrary is deeply hurtful. Perhaps you are lashing out because you've lost the argument. In any case, I'm not going to stay around to be insulted like this when my aim is to share what I've learned about keeping chickens in humane conditions. I'll share my thoughts experiences elsewhere henceforth.

It is when someone gets hurt.
