Debate about feral chickens
« on: November 13, 2026, 07:10:35 PM »
some people like the chickens. They want to keep them free. There's an org dedicated to "rescuing" them. They want land to do it.
I don't think we need to rescue chickens. They are not endangered and they destroy the land.
What next rat rescue?

Chickens are very unique.  I can think of no other warm blooded creature that can survive on its own it in a few minutes after being born, or in this case  hatched.

On their own?  Why do I see so many chicks follow their mama hen everywhere until they are almost her size?

She doesn't feed them.  They don't need the mother to survive, that is why hatchlings get shipped all over the country when only a few hours old.  They can survive 2 or 3 days with no food or water.  In fact if a hatchling is over a day old, USPS does not allow them to be shipped until they are at least 6 weeks old.  Newly hatched chicks have enough reserves to last 2 to 3 days.  I raise chickens.  Purebred ones, not feral chickens that have been caught.

The best way to control the feral chickens is to tell Filipinos that if they catch them, they can have them.

Give them green papaya as an incentive.

No, I am not racist.  I am Filipino and I love chicken papaya.

But I old and too slow to catch them, LOL.

Micronesian boys from public housing are extremely effective at collecting the roosters.  They’ll go pretty much anywhere anytime to do it too.

Our yard is a chicken safe-zone.  In this case the term just means “chickens,” not “LBQRTFDH&)$ multiple spirit + Gavin Newsom” chickens.

Chickens are not degenerate that way, so no such thing.

Kinda refreshing, nowadays.

One of the last havens of the nuclear family (that is, as long as the harem as a whole is considered as “the wifey,” which is how I like to think they look at it).
