For the birds.Sacred chickenshttps://t.co/55tpIG3sDX
What can you learn if you simply pay enough attention?https://t.co/WcgpBXeoEy
Chickens feast on the insects (eggs) that live in shit.https://t.co/11xkBvZtAg
If they stop eating, that is a sign. But what is it a sign of?What would this augur?https://t.co/BvQzak8Bo5
How does a chicken find the grub?https://t.co/niaFjKtWJi
Smell?"I think he smells the man of the house on the shoes (or jacket), and thinks I'm him. Can they really smell that well? Or is my rooster just psychotic?" https://t.co/PYMt0l2jUF
Smell... yes."Taken together, in our opinion addressing the potential of olfactory social signaling in wild, feral and domesticated chicken is an important new field of research and will lead to important new insights on social communication"https://t.co/3cZQvWE8so https://t.co/KBP5SwJR9o
I wondered what a chicken's cloaca would smell like and if—like dogs—they use it signal to each other about fertility and health.After watching a video of horny birds.https://t.co/FR8aQKHn2b
What you pay attention to matters. I pay attention to thinks like chicken butts.https://t.co/ox7eJkNfcnhttps://t.co/CWpS4onmmi
Nobody here but us chickens. 😍https://t.co/tc62W6c4to
Ever wonder if the similarity in bird coat among woodpeckers (tied to range overlap) may not be due to mimicry, but actually tied to gut microbiome similarities due to diet's impact on plumage related factors?https://t.co/zTABtSzbZu
I really enjoy the nerd factor of the topic focused bowtie* accounts on here. I don't know the context for the trend but @BowTiedChickens has some great threads on keeping birds.https://t.co/ab3p6D5uAE
I've been eating a lot of eggs now that I have space to cook and keep them in the fridge. We're still doing store-bought. Excited to transition into local farms soon. Tho.Maybe one day I'll have a space to grow my own super eggs https://t.co/f6PUddZzIM
I love the thought of of doing fermentations to help fight chicken disease and other interesting experimental ideas.https://t.co/YIc4VeVDV0
Figuring out how to transform raw minerals in to human usable vitamins via a series of farming practices (is growing bacteria via fermentation a form of bacteria farming?) sounds really fun.https://t.co/DoCnj2N2Co
There may be some way of doing this thru a chain of interconnected foods webs. What happens if you feed heavy metal contaminated "Rollie Pollies" to chickens? Does the meat become laced with heavy metal, or can it make them healthier if in right amounts?https://t.co/DRjUEIHpUi
Figuring out how to turn rocks into nutrition, one bacterial fart at a time.https://t.co/R5s1vSSdxR
Listen, I don't want to eat my own vomit after dissolving rock externally. So using a pressure cooker to dissolve rocks down to slurry (like done with chicken bones) is not an option here.You saying not to eat rocks are really that into vomit eating? Proverbs 26:11, geez man.
"a beloved playground song we can easily use to cheer up our kids as it makes everybody laugh and the little ones just adore the spontaneity of the dialogue. They also love the use of words like butt and poo." https://t.co/kwnwokpXGphttps://t.co/oVv0t0lLIp
Seeing the food systems absolutely fuck themselves due to large scale disruptions tied to covid has made me kinda scared about food security, not going to lie.https://t.co/yj1qHHOJ61
Makes sense, but geez."nation’s largest dairy cooperative, Dairy Farmers of America, estimates that farmers are dumping as many as 3.7 million gallons of milk each day. A single chicken processor is smashing 750,000 unhatched eggs every week." [APR 2020]https://t.co/u5d8vfHFbv
The idea of using eggs to heal my body after so many years of struggling sounds really good to me.https://t.co/K3dm4QoUgT
I also think it is fascinating that even after going out of my way to hyper-load on eggs and cheese as dietary sources of cholesterol (trying to regrow myelin)... That my levels have stayed relatively tame. https://t.co/mHZEEemeUq
I'd really like to try eating fresh raw eggs and not have to worry about listeria because of knowing how the eggs are made and stored.https://t.co/X9C84Tv3Wu
So apparently Almark Foods (they make "Eggland's best") has done a voluntary recall on hard-boiled eggs due to A Listeria Monocytogenes contamination they found in some. These show up in a ton of egg based products. It thrives while chilled.https://t.co/u2tbr2SOF7
Even before the pandemic I was quite concerned about eating chicken or eggs. Some of the stuff out there going on in industrial farms is absolutely horrifying.https://t.co/e5wRE7MW3B
