I looked that up and found that something like 25 million chickens are slaughtered every day for food in the US alone. There's only 86,400 seconds in a day, almost 300 chickens per second! That bell would be ringing so much it would just be a single tone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so happy I encouraged you to increase your chicken knowledge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to data, there were 504.5 million chickens in the United States as of 2017. What this means: the entire population of chickens in the U.S. are snuffed out every 20.18 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People from many distant places would get together and socialize. I'll be glad when social distancing is over. 2m is way too close. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't you about you, but I'm terrified. What should I do? Run for the hills? I understand you'll get a better view from there. Well, I didn't say unmanned...I would assume everyone figures that? But to answer your question, and judging by your response, I'd refer you to my original advice.

My dad was a pediatrician so he pretty much ran the program. The school nurse enforces the vaccines but she had to go along with whatever he said about what was required and what was not required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took these with my older Moto which doesn't have the best camera in it. You can't tell but they have a small area off to the right side of the house that's closed in to run besides the other area with the roof. I usually staple plastic around the outside of the smaller area in winter and keep them in there because the wind really whips up in January and we get temps down as far as -15--20 F sometimes. It has held that cold for a few weeks at a time. This isn't the norm though. It's more commonly at 10-15 F.Not in the minuses in Jan/Feb. They have the heated panel, but no insulation. The box doesn't do much more than keep the wind and rain off. If they huddle in there together maybe it gets warmer. As you can see they aren't all the same. I have a few like the pic I posted before and others are different. The last group of girls I had layed a lot the first two years.12 chickens was 12 eggs a day, then it gradually reduced to maybe half a dozen. Then at year 3 they barely layed. I was letting them out to wander,then several never came back or I had to go try to find them. There was one left out the 12 and I tried to give it a decent retirement before it died. I don't eat them, or haven't yet. I guess I'll have to keep these penned up because they do tend to wander.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
