Sorry, it takes a lot more than chickens to entertain me. haha

So the chickens are just there? Doing nothing? Oh wait, at least they're producing poop for the garden. Still not enough for me to justify the cost of feed. I need to have eggs! lol

Those are called "pets".... If one pauses to think about it, I guess that's not much different than dogs that do nothing all day but hold down the couch or cats that do nothing all day but hold down the bed, as opposed to dogs and cats that live and work outside and serve an actual purpose.

Speak about your dogs only...... our dog has kept lions, tigers and bears away. Even elephants from trampling my garden. He is always on guard. Not once since he has been here have we been attacked by marauding Vikings.

My dogs chased a black bear a few weeks ago...we picked them up 11 miles away the next night. Two very tired and dirty dogs, happy to see a familiar face.

Well my chickens chased a....oh never mind.

11 miles away Bee hope your dogs are Micro chipped. Best thing to happen to animals in a long time.

Even better....God took care of them through kindly people who called the number on their dog tags and let us know where they were. Since then I've got a schedule for their battery changes on the calendar and tightened up the collars to improve skin contact of the receiver prongs...they've not crossed the line since, even though that bear has still been in the area.

Soooo. They are expensive pets given hormones so they don't die? Sorry. Craziest thing ever. I hatch new chicks so the old ones are replaced. And yes they die.

Hey remember when people went out and spent money buying pet rocks

That wasn't very useful for your pet-care business, was it, Nyboy?
