Comfy anon. I hope your garden and family grow.
>>2801671They’re fucking with the feed. Have been since before Covid. Are again. Had several anecdotal interactions lately at farm stores. 1. Girl working the register asks unprompted if my chickens are molting weird because hers are eyes the bag of feed. 2. Kid in front of me last night buying oyster shell because his egg shells are thin now and he doesn’t know why… been supplementing with suet and layer feed but still nothing. 3. Kid blew the whistle on actual poisoning with pesticides bags of feed at the other farm store. Was supposed to be investigated by the epa. Nothing on google now.
Not only should you have birds (or rabbits if you’re European apparently). Have a way to feed them and keep them cooped up when the “bird flu” accelerates.
I’ve had chickens, turkeys, a Guinea, and now Rudy. I had a family of hawks in one tree and a family of crows in another in my yard. I have a flock of sparrows that follow me when I feed the other birds. Jays, cardinals, song birds, wrens, woodpeckers, and and various species of migratory birds (like wood ducks apparently). I have seen zero die offs except for when I was purchasing feed from the place that got called out for actively poisoning it. I have dozens of wild birds near my captive birds daily and if there was a bird flu I’d have it.
The three hawk chicks as they were learning to fly and hunt in the lawn.
