Reply to Those of you who have laying hens, what do you do with the chicks who turn out to be roosters? Is there a local butcher who will dispatch them for a fee? I don’t mind eating them at all but don’t have any experience doing it myself and wouldn’t want to cause undue harm due to my inexperience by JMChaseArt
I've killed sick birds with a hand axe before, and it's not great.
I've done the cone + neck cut before, and I … was left wondering if I did it "cleanly".
With last year's flock, I did a .22 to the head for the (Complete Asshole prime rooster) and the extra boys, and that's what I'll do in the future. Simple and effective.
But, yes, you need to accept the responsibility of dispatching birds at the appropriate point, and in a quick and "humane" way.

That's not how it works, though. Christ, you morons.

The reference was to the graveyards full of millions of dead due to COVID, a national tragedy, and a serious impact on the economy (both the deaths and our response to the pandemic).
It's quite relevant.

What else was in co-incidence in those years? Massive economic inequality? Drastic unemployment? Pervasive stay-at-home-ism? Drastic deaths and disability due to covid? Economic headwinds leading to the largest amount of inflation in a generation? &c.?
There are /tons/ of confounding factors.
It's not "defunding the police", tho, because that wasn't a thing that actually happened.

> after defunding the police
Lol.
> in decades
Yes, nothing else confounding happened in the last few years, not at all. whistles past the graveyard full of millions It certainly wasn't a national trend, thus establishing that there's no correlation with "defunding the police".
(Which, BTW, basically did not happen anywhere.)

The water goes into the toilet tank, so the tub cleanliness is not really at issue.
But, if you're filling your tub for potable water, there are liners one can purchase to assist with that concern, as well.

"censor".
And reddit's voting is not "censorship".
You need a different hobby than shitposting on Reddit, Rama.

I sub here to hear about vermont-specific things.
I sub to other places where it would be entirely appropriate to talk about the Harry Potter game.
This ain't it.

How dare you malign people who can't make it to the polls in the limited time available as "uninformed" or "lacking care" and who are "killing the democratic process".
It's you who are "killing the democratic process".
Asshole.

Lol, do you not understand that's exactly what "instant runoff voting" (and its ilk) literally is?
