SHUT UP, CHICKENS

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

E.O.T., if you'd really like to be disturbed by tankage, read this: jds.fass.org/cgi/reprint/19/5/313.pdf

The idea of natural scavengers like chickens being fed tankage is far, far less objectionable.

[The Johnny]

          Yes, well, I only read 'hemp woven thong monthly' for ALL of my info. My chickens are all stoned and shit beatles 45's.

I hope you're eBaying those.

You don't want the crap of carnivores in your garden, but giving omnivores treats of meat does not magically give them carnivore poop, or you couldn't use the crap of any free-ranging chicken. They eat anything that moves; including mice if they can catch them. And THAT thought actually is kind of gross.

Practical Poultry-Farming by L.M. Hurd says:

"The steady use of some form of animal protein such as milk products, meat scraps, tankage or fish meal cannot be too strongly emphasized."

Read the ingredients on your organic Cascade layer mash. It's not vegetarian.

EITHER

          Thou hast shown'th me the way of moderation in chicken feed

OR

          They're strictly feeding on tankage now. Dried animal residues, mmm. Scraped from a tank, nonetheless.

?

Has potential for a dog farm !!

EITHER

          I'm feeding the writings of Peter Sotos to the hens right now (eat it, dammit!!)

OR

          Is that brains?

[Triple Zero]

it's not like you could tell, I suppose



waitaminute does EOT stand for Either/Or Troll perhaps

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

          Is that brains?

Yep. In a bathtub.

Yep. In a bathtub.

That just gave me a great idea for a WOMP.  Will be up tonight or tomorrow.

Cover the windows of the chicken house until you want them to wake up.  As long as it is dark to them they will keep quiet.

Glad to see you've been properly traumatized.   

But at least you're halfway to full PD membership.

You know what the other part is, right?  Oh, yeah.  Revenge.

[BabylonHoruv]

we fed ours house garbage.  As long as there's no eggshells in it they can eat pretty much any compost.

Otherwise they feel guilty?

feed them eggshells and they start eating eggs.

[BabylonHoruv]

Mine get compost too, but there's not that much compost.

Yeah, we got extra because the local grocery store would give us expired produce.

you can't hide what's already on my hard drive, biaaaatch!

That totally doesn't work for making them sleep, but it does make them lay fewer eggs.

It's actually fine if you dry out and crush the shells first.

Yup, we did that.  It's just more work than I usually like to suggest to someone to do.

It's good for them though cause it gives them calcium to use for making more eggshells.
